Mario Doesn’t Have a Future in Mobile, Says Miyamoto

As everyone’s favourite Italian plumber joins a new world in live-action cinema with The Super Mario Bros. Movie, it seems like fans of the character won’t be seeing him on the mobile platform.

In a recent interview with Variety, Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto confirmed that Nintendo has no plans to continue the franchise’s run on mobile devices. “Mobile apps will not be the primary path of future Mario games,” he said.

In its short stint on smartphones, Nintendo and Miyamoto has released games like Super Mario Run, Dr. Mario World, and Mario Kart Tour. However, the titles failed to live up to the commercial success of the series’ other games that players can experience on Nintendo consoles.
