It annoys me how entitled some people on this thread sound. Yes there is A LOT of garbage on the app store, but there are also a lot of games which are genuinely worth a fiver, or even a tenner because they are packed with content. The same people who complain about paying a fiver for a game like this that provides potentially dozens of hours in entertainment probably also pay full whack for cinema tickets and console games.

I have no problem with paying a fiver for this. I have a problem with it's ridiculous and totally anti-consumer always online DRM system.

Hot as it’s the first app I have seen which is both free but you can also pay a one off fee to get the entire game. Game is also good value for £4.99

If you could play this offline then I'd buy it in a heartbeat at that price. Literally no point in an online only game like this for mobile though.

Still can’t play in offline mode, useless for when you want to play when traveling to work on the tube.

Cold from me I’m afraid due to the price being an in app purchase. We have a family sharing account in our house, which means one of us buys an app and the rest get to download it for free. By making it an in app purchase, we can’t share that! For the three of us in our house who want to play the game, we’d have to fork out £30 full price. Even the reduced £15 is more than I’m happy with for a mobile game.
This is blatantly a deliberate effort to squeeze money out of families with more than one child or person who wants to play the game. As a result, we all decided not to bother with the game at all. Nintendo didn’t get a penny from our family and won’t for this game either, but we’d have happily paid once if we could share it. I can see why they’ve done it, but I expect that for every one person who did purchase the game there’s another who didn’t due to the lack of sharing.

Likewise with Family Sharing. I love Plex but it's £5 in-app to unlock the app (free to download), which means to put it on all our devices would be £30

It is possible to unlock on all devices, by purchasing on one account and then temporarily logging in with this account on all devices and then restore in app purchases. It is a bit of a hassle but worth saving the money to purchase on each device separately.

I thought you was able to share the purchases between devices google.co.uk/amp…th/ Think the same applies to Google play store

Just log into iTunes on the extra devices, restore, then log back out. It works

Interesting. Ive been interested in the family account scheme but was unaware of this. My household of 4 has gotten by fine by using my account between the 4 of us so that will have to continue !

Whilst you might think its aimed at you and your family making it an in app purchase has more to do with protecting against piracy.
Shrewd move by Nintendo if this is the route they are going to go down more often.

The first four levels in Tour mode is free plus Toad Rally, the rest of the game can be unlocked for £9.99. Looks like it's still full price on Play Store though.
New update is much needed, thanks for the heads up @BARKMAN
edit: Sale didn't start yet it will be up to 50% off on Play Store too from the 29th. Says so in-game.

Why do you have to be online to play this? Does it actually use data while you play? I'd get this for £4.99 but if I have to play at home using Wi-Fi I'd rather play on my Xbox One than my phone!

Having paid for many different types of mobile games I think even at £5 it is slightly a stretch, simply because Nintendo had the brand and undoubtedly got millions of downloads, at £2 £3 launch price they could've been a candy crush revenue generator. Greed got the best of them and this huge discount shows people not willing to have it.

Its worth a fiver all day
Its a polished game, not the usual crap that gets made for mobiles
My little girl loves it
My only gripe is the games are too easy now, too many tips etc
It plays well on Kate

Anyone know how to get data from tablet to phone, I had this on my tablet or old phone, installed today on new phone, linked the Nintendo account and it says ive already linked to a device but no option to receive the data from other device???

If you guys think 4.99 or even 9.99 is bad, try buying the ad free version of words with friends now. Was originally 8.99/9.99. Now a whopping 27.99/28.99.

The only thing holding me back from playing this is the online only component. It sucks. It's a single player game with no need to be online except for DRM. Useless if I'm on the tube!
PaulLFC to johnchapman_
25 Sep 17#27
Glad I read this before buying, was about to pick it up before a flight in a couple of weeks! So there's zero offline play at all, not even a "you need to be online once every 24 hours" thing? Pointless if so.
johnchapman_ to PaulLFC
25 Sep 17#33
I'm afraid so. You have to be online even to get the game up and running. It's crap like I said if you're on the tube. Although on a plane you might have access to Wifi these days. I'm not sure!

It just shows differently. You are quoting the persons comment so it loads their comment at the top and then you "reply" underneath that. So just hit "quote" then start typing. That simple.

I like my apps and games as much as the next guy,but £9.99 for a mobile game is an absolute rip off !
Even at half price I'd feel I'm having my pants pulled down
tsimehC to Biggunspaul
25 Sep 17#9
While I tend to agree a tenner is a bit much, £5 is decent. It's not like the usual mobile trash that are full of microtransactions so you end up paying more to progress in the long run. The full game is available for one price and there's new content coming along shortly so it's not too bad.
migavupe to tsimehC
25 Sep 17#15
Which you are probably going to have to pay for, expect it to be another set of 6-8 worlds with the first free.
tsimehC to migavupe
25 Sep 17#18
The advert doesn't give that impression but if that's the case then maybe not such a good deal.
migavupe to tsimehC
25 Sep 17#19
How so? The game is reduced in price and more content is coming, you don't have to purchase the extra content or maybe wait until the new stuff goes on sale.
BARKMAN to migavupe
25 Sep 17#20
The new content is being added free to the game. It’s not an additional purchase. The unlock purchase will get you all the content

Did this used to be free? As it let me download it from the cloud as if I've had it before. But I know I wouldn't have paid for it!

The app has always been free but it’s just the first world. To purchase the full game with all the levels has always been £9.99
