Nintendo Co. will release Super Mario Run in Apple Inc.’s App Store in December, the first time the popular franchise is appearing on a smartphone. Shigeru Miyamoto, one of the creators of the original Mario game, gave a short demonstration of the game at Apple’s annual iPhone release event on Wednesday. A basic version of Super Mario Run will be free to download, but users will have to pay to play the entire game. Nintendo’s stock also temporarily skyrocketed this summer after the release of Pokemon Go, the most successful mobile game ever. Nintendo said it plans to release mobile games for its Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem franchises by March.
