Mario Kart Tour delayed to summer 2019
- Thread starter Atheerios
- Start date
Don't you be a square and act like mobile Mario Kart wouldn't be dope as hell for 5-10 mins at a time lol.
With the switch, I can play it 5-10 minutes at a time with mk8.
What?!? There are plenty of racing games on mobile devices, how would Mario kart be a challenge when all you do is put power ups into it...
Just seems a lot different from existing Nintendo offerings in that:
- Can't play vertically/one-handed (which is very much their thing)
- Seems like it would be pretty demanding performance-wise (whereas even Animal Crossing runs just fine on my budget phone)
Judging by how Super Mario Run, Miitomo and AC Pocket Camp have performed, I assume they wanna get it right from the beginning this time.
In the next Direct, Nintendo will announce that Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem, Luigi's Mansion and Pokemon 2018 will be delayed too. Joking aside, I can't wait to see how Nintendo will handle Mario Kart on mobile! I don't care about the delay but show the game Nintendo!
Miitomo was such good, stupid fun. I'm still sad it died...
What are the other Nintendo games on mobile? I'm only aware of the Mario jump or whatever. Didn't know of any other ones, so didn't know it was their design choice to be one handed
Not really, plenty of racing games that I can run on my Samsung S2/S3. Hell my mom's old Moto e runs plenty fine. Luckily all those racing games have quality settings to run low etc. Don't think it would personally be demanding for majority of people, budget phones have great chips now
That's true, but I don't take it everywhere funny enough. Plus this game will get more people to get MK8D and a Switch.
In addition to Mario, there's Animal Crossing, Miitomo (discontinued), and Dragalia Lost. Also all the Pokemon games like GO, Quest, Shuffle, etc.
I'm just really hoping the game runs on my Moto G5 Plus, lol. I'm still bitter about not being able to play FFXV Pocket Edition >_<
They better have a Switch title that uses all them good clothes/accessories.
They're taking plenty of time, that's for sure. Hopefully it'll be good and not too grindy, because I already have portable Mario Kart games and this one needs to do something differently/better in order to make sense playing it instead of MK8D.
Good for you and me but why take the option from people who plays primarily on mobile? It's also extra revenue for Nintendo
I'm not taking it, lol. I just posted the gif because it's funny and how most here will feel.
Well you say that, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is a vertical take on MK.
This game is either gonna look U.G.L.Y. in motion by targeting lower-spec phones, or it won't run anywhere near 60 fps, and the shine will come off that apple real quick. Animal Crossing should have worked on phone hardware, but it was a technical disaster on top of not being fun.
Ok? I don't take my Switch with me everywhere I go though, I hardly take it outside because my lifetyle doesn't revolve around being able to whip out a console every time I have some free time, so the convenience of having access to MK on my phone would be nice since that's a device I take with me virtually everywhere.
Mario Kart 8 sold trillions.
They won't stop making these on consoles...
A delayed Nintendo mobile game? I'm trying to be shocked.
Their stock seems really undervalued due to investor panicking about that 20M
Yeah, if they don't do a crazy forecast for next FY.
Their stock seems really undervalued due to investor panicking about that 20M
That's a ridiculous fear. See Fire Emblem and Pokemon for example. Despite having massively popular mobile games, they're still making new console games (and why wouldn't they?). There is no world where Nintendo doesn't make a Mario Kart 9.
