Super Mario Run is coming on December 15, but it won't be cheap

Nintendo has finally confirmed the release date for its upcoming mobile game, Super Mario Run. The game was announced at Apple's event alongside the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus back in September.

You'll be able to download it beginning on December 15, which is one month from today. It won't be free-to-play though, as many of today's mobile applications are, building in-app purchases into the game. Super Mario Run will cost $9.99.

Nintendo promised from day one that it would not be using a "freemium" model, and the price tag includes full access to the game.

Super Mario Run is also slated to come to Android at a later date, but we still don't know when. The website says that it will be available "for iPhone and iPad" on the given date; however, it seems extremely unlikely that supported iPod Touch devices will be left out.

Of course, if you just can't wait a month to get your hands on some Super Mario Run, you can always download the sticker pack for iOS 10.
