You did not just say that. Alright -- here we go.
What you said is not true at all, and frankly, it sounds arrogant (which I don't mind, except in this case, you're wrong).
Let's go ahead and apply your logic to Pokemon Go:
"It's an iPhone game named Pokemon Go".
That statement tells me nothing about Pokemon Go. I speak to you as someone who has played over 1200 hours of Pokemon Red, Yellow, Fire Red, Sapphire, Emerald, and Diamond. Gamers are experienced and humble enough to know that "Super Mario Run" could mean almost anything. Do not make the mistake of underestimating game developers, least of all Nintendo.
I posted a comment here about my first impression of the game's title:
"First thing that popped into my mind was Pokemon Go, but for Mario. Is this a Mario branded game which gamifies running in real-life encouraging kids to run to various locations to find coins or something?".
Other people on HackerNews seemed to share this viewpoint! It turns out this is not at all what the game is about.

You're missing some context here, as to someone who plays iPhone games the word 'Run' suggests that the game is an infinite runner[1]. So "an iPhone game named Super Mario Run" does imply more information (that it's probably an infinite runner, which is not quite correct, but reasonably close) than your Pokemon Go version. [1] see Sonic Runners, Rayman Run, etc.
