Super Mario Run launch: The internet reacts, and it's not being very nice

It’s been more than 30 years since Mario first made his NES debut and almost 10 years since the launch of the iPhone. But now, at long last, Mario has finally made his way to mobile .

You can download the game right now on iPhone, but you Android users will have to wait a few months.

Super Mario Run is an endless runner, platforming hybrid from Nintendo and it’s hoping to take the gaming world by storm. Unfortunately, the game’s design and high asking price don’t seem to be sitting well with gamers, as you can well see:

We almost did this ourselves…

At least someone’s excited…

Maybe he’s hangry. 🍔🔥 #SuperMarioRun⁰ https://t.co/WHhkNhHVeY pic.twitter.com/CxshdkVP8s
