Nintendo has announced a new free mobile app coming to iOS, Android and the Switch. It’s called Hello, Mario! and was revealed alongside a new collection of Mario-themed products designed for kids and toddlers launching in Japan later this month.
All of Nintendo’s mobile apps have been free to download so far, but while some have offered in-app purchases and others, like Nintendo Music, require an active Nintendo Switch Online subscription, Hello, Mario! is comparatively basic. Reminiscent of Super Mario 64’s title screen that showed off the N64’s capabilities with an interactive 3D version of Mario’s head, Hello, Mario! lets kids poke, tug, and fling Mario’s face around the screen while the character reacts in various ways.
