[toph]

lol

 

[Gartooth]

The gacha wasn't enough for them already...

 

[DannyVice]

What the flying fuck

 

[Lunchbox]

Really gross

 

[TheAvatar]

for a single player only game mind you

 

[banshee150]

Yeah, DOA. Dud. it will crater worse than Anthem

 

[Herb Alpert]

I think i'll pass

 

[Petete]

Gacha + Sub, what a combo hahahaha.

 

[Zalman]

I miss Mario Run.

 

[Trrzs]

Go home Nintendo, you're drunk

 

[BowieZ]

No thanks.

 

[NekoNeko]

people asked for this.

 

[Gartooth]

There has to be a yearly subscription option right? At $5 per month this is more expensive than NSO. hahaha

 

[Resetti]

Still testing their optimal charging method eh

 

[KayonXaikyre]

lmfao. Nintendo super embracing this mobile shit. This sounds awful.

 

[RockmanBN]

Nintendo here learning all these monetary schemes but can't learn good online.

 

[Alvaro]

Screw that

 

[Deleted member 56580]

Nintendo creating unecessary greed, more news somewhere

 

[Maquiladora]

Not too long ago an image like that would be created only as a humours parody of a future vision of Nintendo.

Oh boy....

 

[Deleted member 8593]

Hope the people that wanted Nintendo games on mobile were prepared for this monkey paw.

 

[tolkir]

When we thought it was impossible to expand the subscriptions, here is Nintendo to fix it.

 

[Lite_Agent]

Ah, so that's why Nintendo Account is mandatory. So you can't just restart afresh every time the free trial expires.

 

[Kolx]

That is one super shitty value if I ever saw one.

 

[Mobu]

Iwata wouldnt have let this happen

 

[CrazyAndy]

4,99€ for this or 4,99€ for Apple Arcade? Tough choice...

 

[The Living Tribunal]

Fuck that.

 

[roguesquirrel]

locking 200cc behind a monthly subscription is parody made flesh

Seriously, this is hilarious. At least for $4 a month I get online compatible NES and SNES games, online access, the phone app, and exclusive deals. Not to mention this seems to directly compete with Apple Arcade.

 

[banshee150]

Wait guys they need the dough to invest in a decent online platform for Switch... right?

 

[SuperSah]

Yeah, DOA. Dud. it will crater worse than Anthem

Click to shrink...

you wish. it will make millions, it's Mario Kart on fucking mobile

 

[Ananasas]

Will it also have standart microtransactions?

 

[Kyuuji]

 

[BLΛƆKPIИK]

and on top of that it has gacha and no mp.. oof

 

[Pokémon]

The sub is not necessary to play the game or am I wrong?

 

[Gartooth]

Will it also have standart microtransactions?

Click to shrink...

Yes, it still has gacha in order to unlock new drivers and karts.

 

[Vylash]

lmao this is hilarious

 

[Trrzs]

Just wait for the Pink Gold Pass at $9.99 monthly.

 

[Bonejack]

Nah, i'm fine. Passing. Not that my health would allow even more rage from the rubberbanding AI in the Mario Kart games.

The only way this sub would be okay if it would include a monthly number of free pulls for the gacha stuff.

 

[WhoaIsThatMars]

hahahaha I'm out. Deleting the app

 

[Mobu]

How will they monetize the Zelda mobile game???

 

[trugs26]

And I thought Mario Run's pricing was bad (for the mobile market). This is only half the price and ongoing...

 

[gunlovefiction]

Holy shit. Fuck all of these subscriptions. Nintendo being greedy as fuck

 

[Herb Alpert]

The game already seemed crappy before that but now, Wow lol

It's as if they had someone inside trying to sabotage each and every mobile game...

 

[Putosaure]

Time to sell some of your shares before it goes down a bit tomorrow

 

[Deleted member 32018]

The sub is not necessary to play the game or am I wrong?

Click to shrink...

This. Yeah locking 200cc behind the sub is shitty but the rest of the game is still free.

 

[Deleted member 3196]

So a sub plus gacha?

$4.99 per month for this with IAPs, or for Apple Arcade and no IAPs? Not only is this incredibly poor value, but Nintendo couldn't have timed it any worse.

 

[DosDaddy]

I hate the future

 

[Pokémon]

This. Yeah locking 200cc behind the sub is shitty but the rest of the game is still free.

Click to shrink...

I agree 200cc should be available outside of the sub but for the rest I couldn't care less. If someone wants to buy the sub for extra items be my guest. The base game is still free.

 

[MrBS]

That gall there is impressive. WTF lol.

 

[kuroneko0509]

Nintendo discovered the monthly vip system for their mobile games. colour me surprise they implement it for this game instead others like dragalia/feh lol
