Video: Mobario mobile game looks like Super Mario

Super Mario gets his own mobile game
Er.. but it's not strictly sanctioned by Nintendo, as far as I can make out. Mobario is one of the games being offered by new ad-funded mobile games site Hovr, which lets users download games for free, as long as…
