    Now I wonder how long it stays online before all the money the asked people to throw at it literally turns into nothing. Kinda surprised a mobile Mario Kart didn’t have more legs on it.

      Nintendo fans are used to “buy the game, maybe an expansion, and you have everything to play as long as you want.” When you tell those same people that karts and racers need to be won from loot boxes and that the hardest difficulty is locked behind a subscription, you lose a lot of the hype.

        Well the mainstream nintendo ones do. Fire Emblem Heroes is one of nintendos longest running mobile games, and is still the one that makes the most $ (not including the Pokemon series, which is often considered seperate to Nintendos other ips in terms of management)
