Microtransactions Are Bad?
prevnextOnly played a bit of Mario Kart Tour but it is seeming very mediocre at best. Also the microtransactions are bad. Like it has a thing for £5 a month which gets you "gold challenges" and 200cc. Hmm yes I love having to pay for 200cc like ???

Advice from Beta Testers
prevnextspeaking as a beta tester i am under obligation as a human being with thoughts and feelings to tell you
please don't play mario kart tour, it's disgustingly greedy and you would be better off playing the actual games

and if you do, please be careful about the microtransactions
Shady
prevnextMario Kart Tour is kinda fun, the microtransactions are shady.. but I got Pauline in my first pull so it seems generous. I dunno, can see myself playing this when I'm bored somewhere.

Which System Is Better?
prevnextWhen Super Mario Run came out: ONE TIME PAYMENT OF TEN DOLLARS?! I’M NOT PAYING THAT!!
When Mario Kart Tour comes out: FREE TO PLAY WITH MICROTRANSACTIONS?! WHY WOULD NINTENDO DO THAT?! pic.twitter.com/mTZ0lV5SXH

Mario Kart vs. Apple Arcade
prevnextMario Kart Tour is fun but absolutely filled with microtransactions. If this came out a week ago it would be fine. But after the release of Apple Arcade this game already feels super dated. pic.twitter.com/kfSbckAVgt
