Nintendo Working on 'Mario Kart Tour' Game for Mobile Devices

[IGI2]

If this happens, you honestly won't be able to blame Nintendo. Super Mario Run was a flat $10 with no micro transactions or in-app purchases, and Nintendo still haven't been able to recover being lambasted by the mobile community over that. Consumers have proven they rather continue being duped into paying tens or hundreds of dollars over time, rather than a simple, low, up-front cost.

You see, that's the problem here. It was a MICRO TRANSACTION. IT WAS AN IN-APP PURCHASE.

Hence, you can't share it with your iCloud Family : ) and you were lured with the FREE tag, when it really wasn't.

If the price was presented 10 USD, ok then, if you download it you get what you paid for. But it is free and then you get surprised ; )

Don’t be too excited because you might be disappointed.

30 bucks? To play MK on a little device? I’m set.

Well on the switch it is $50 on a little device. So you are a tad behind the curve there boss.

Umm no.

I thought Nintendo was supposed to never go mobile devices??

Hopefully this won’t canibalize Switch sales. It’s a while out, but still, gotta keep something sacred.

Nintendo would never do anything to cannibalize the Switch sales. It will most definitely not be equivalent to the full console game.

On top of that, they really can't make it equivalent. Lets just assume that the switch doesn't exist. And that somehow iphones are graphically capable of running Mariokart 8. The controls would still be atrocious. Tilt controls and virtual buttons don't work, at all. It would either be a tilt controls disaster of a game, or would be a competition on who has the compatible MFI controller.

I'm surprised that it took this long for Nintendo to admit that they need the smartphone/Apple market.

You do realize that the Switch can be connected to a TV to be played right? It's a full console, not just a mobile one like the DS.
