God damn, that took all fucking day.
"Launches Dec 15th" declared Nintendo.
What time does it finally show up?
Half sodding five in the afternoon.
Seriously, there's only 6 and a half hours left in the day..
Whether that was Nintendo's doing, or the always shit Apple Timezone of Insanity that caused it, I'm not sure, but..
Thafuk?
You'd think I'd've spent the ludicrous number of hours doing something productive, but both my Sister and my Aunt decided to visit, today, so we've all been sitting around all day, talking about family and getting all mopey about how this is the second Xmas without my Nan.
Still, at least I got to play Mario Run, today, eventually. So there's that.
Super Mario Run in exactly what it oughta be. The difficulty level isn't quite up to usual Nintendo standards, but I guess that may be down to them experimenting with the new control mechanism.
Will harder levels come later? Will they be IAPs? Will they instead be a Run2 collection?
Who knows.
I'm going to rush through the newsletter, then go grab some purple coins,
Not that one.

Worth a try, perhaps? socoder.net/?topic=5866
