Mario Kart Tour Was Downloaded 123.9 Million Times In Its First Month

Month 2 is when the data will get intetesting. A savvy player won't pay for a Gold pass until next Tuesday.

Just start working on Mario Kart Ultimate already

Golf clap.
All those numbers don't mean nothing, if the game isn't going to be played later down the line.

@nukatha That’s exactly what I was planning to do haha. Got a month’s worth of gold pass rewards with the two week trial.. and am still playing regularly so am willing to drop $5 for six weeks’ worth of rewards.

Not shocked lots of people downloaded it to try it.

I'm guessing most hardcore fans like myself played it 2-3 times and said, "nope."

But there are plenty of causal mobile gamers that will keep the money flowing into Nintendo's pockets for awhile.

I gave it a shot. Really wanted to like it but I did not. Uninstalled after 3 days or so and, frankly, I do not miss it.

@sixrings Yes, please--every track and battle arena from past Mario Kart games, remastered in HD! Oh, and the return of Mission Mode, but with local split-screen play that's perfect for tabletop mode!

@XCWarrior I'm a hardcore fan myself and I've been playing this game since launch.

I actually am really enjoying it but I won’t spend a penny on it, as I just don’t see the value. Probably the same reason I don’t smoke (tobacco anyway)

@Shadowkiller97 I think I'll do exactly that ... if you time it right you can get the most out of that pass.... don't know If I would buy a second month though ....

And $5 for 2 months out of enjoyment and fun with a game is pretty good value for me.

I wonder if a big amount people who installed the game uninstalled it immediately after being greeted to a screen requiring a Nintendo account to play the game.

I saw plenty of complaints in people's reviews about this in the app store / play store.

Been loving this game. Free to play player. Playing everyday. Ranked number 1 in all the tours. My score is over 27000 in this tour

Still haven't touched it. Super Mario Run was decent and good value for money. Haven't managed to get into the others that Nintendo have put their name to. Too many good proper games to play.

Of course the best game has the lowest downloads 😔

Tried it, spent nothing and went back to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Tried it. spent nothing and kept it on my phone as it’s free then went back to Mario kart VR

Just saw a video by dreamcast guy saying Nintendo is mad this game failed... why does that dude resort clickbait?

@fafonio Well I said "most" hardcore fans. I didn't say all. And if you are enjoying it, great. I thought it was a nice time waster but I'd rather play tsum tsum if I got 10 minutes on my phone to kill.

Still not interested in a strictly dumbed down inferior mobile version of Mario Kart.

And Call of Duty hit 100 million downloads in its first 7 days launch this month. "The game" even shoots for you 🙄

Both were not worth the time I spent downloading them. Not even sure why I even check these things out at this point.

Lol well at least most of those playing aren't actually putting money into the game. I'm sure from Nintendo's side this must not look good. See, with capitalism you're always expected to keep hitting higher highs. The fact that they can't match fire emblem, or even dragalia for that matter, with such a well known property will surely have them rethinking things. First Dr Mario and now this game, clearly something isn't working here.

And how many people un-installed it within a week?

Great wee game, never spent a penny and never will, there is no need to. Folk moaning about it clearly haven’t played it

@illmatic20xx To be fair, he did like Nintendo's crappy E3 2018 presentation...

@nukatha why next tuesday?

I just can't get into it. Nice concept, just not for me.
MK7 and MK8D keep my mobile karting needs happy enough.

Still enjoying my time with Tour, but the monetization is starting to become more apparent. Every tour gift now prompts me to get a Gold Pass subscription, and I'll sometimes get special offer pop-ups. It's annoying, and I hope Nintendo understands it's doing more harm than good.

So it made almost as much money as an actual boxed release of Mario Kart does in its first month.

Let's see if that keeps up.

@EasyDaRon
Pretty sure these are decent numbers for today's app games climate, regardless of how unfortunate that might sound. ^^

I’ve been having fun with it, and bought the gold pass for one month. I mean, I like the game, so why not give some financial support?

Also, got Luigi’s mansion king boo today from a random pipe drop... was super happy bout that!

I actually like a few of the ideas MKT has. The track variations a pretty neat, and I like the idea of points for performance. I wouldn’t object them being implemented in a mainline game (although in a seperate mode for the points anyway)

@Hagemaru I’m at a point where I actually want doubles because their are achievements for leveling characters up (which means more free rubies!)

@nukatha why? What’s next Tuesday??

@RupeeClock
Gold pass trial was only 2 weeks, not one month. My pass was up last week.

I'll stick with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, thank you.

Nope. Been playing FEH and ACPC daily since release and never spent money on those either.

I spend my moneyz on console games. I have rule not to spend anything on mobile.

@sixrings Mario Kart Ultimate. I suggested that a while ago. It could use Mario Kart 8 engine and all the tracks that have been made. I would like the gameplay to be changed slightly though because I consider MK8 a bit boring.
