> A Nintendo spokesman said the company didn’t plan to release additional content, either free or paid. I find the term "new content" a bit weird here. What does it mean? New levels? New characters? New items in the shop? New challenges? New gameplay mode? Any of these? If we assume that a new type of challenge or a game play mode would count as new content, Super Mario Run just sent an in-game notification that a Toad Rally type game could be played with friends as a friendly challenge, without gaining or losing any coins or toads. How many times one can play this everyday depends on the number of worlds conquered and the number of friends one has on the game. Of course, this is free for the current players without updating the game from the app store. This feature wasn't available before. So Nintendo had already built this into the app and just flipped some switch today. Who knows how many such hidden features exist that would be turned on gradually to sustain player interest and keep them engaged? I didn't purchase the full game because, compared to many others, I find these games difficult to play and win. I have some other nitpicks as well - coins are basically useless (except to build some decorations), Toad Rally tickets are hard to win, getting the colored coins beyond the pink ones is quite tough and sometimes even impossible without using the bubble to go backward. So it didn't seem worth spending so much money to just play a few levels with limited advancement. I would've liked the game to have a range of difficulty levels on the plus and minus side of what currently exists.
