Why it failed:

It required internet

[thenoahfactor]

"I hope Nintendo won't mess up Mariokart tour!" yeah, about

[Mdk]

If I were Nintendo, I would have went with Warioware for their first Mobile Game, given the many mini-games in that series...would make enough money to unlock them all over time, right ?

[carlosx]

"Which one is Wii and which one is U?"
Me: *looks at the acorn in one of them*

[CorgiOfSteel]

Because you can't beat it without touching any coins

[cirno]

Maybe Nintendo should have made this game free and even put Waluigi as a playable character.

Anyway, I had a ton of fun with this game. After all, games are really meant to be fun and enjoyable.

9:37 don't mess it up
2019: whoops!

Lol the "piracy" excuse is like Assassin's Creed 2. Hackers are having fun playing offline while you are suffering with online connectivity

[MrHatoi]

"You can't play your games without an internet connection for security"
"Multiplayer games don't get cloud saves because that would allow you to restore your previous online ranking"

I'm starting to wonder if Nintendo takes its fanbase for idiots or they themselves legitimately don't know how this kind of stuff works.

[Thornskade]

Pretty simple story for me with this game:
*Releases as an iPhone exclusive* – Oh ok, I can't play it.
*Much later finally releases for Android* – Oh, almost forgot about that game. Might as well try it.
*Gotta be always online sucker* – RIP Mario Run, designed to fail.

[TetraBitGaming]

I think it failed because it's a EASY GAME!!!!

[EvyDevy]

The game becomes worth the 10 dollars if you try to get all the pink, purple and black coins. Triples the amount of stages and increases the difficulty. (Especially with those bloody black coins.) Some people may not be interested in it though or feel it's doesn't add much to the game but I feel it does. There's also the online mode and Remix 10 with Daisy to increases it's worth though that last thing wasn't in till after release.

[MisterVercetti]

To be fair, this was released during Nintendo's "Dork Age", when they believed that they could survive based solely on nostalgia and brand recognition. I'm actually kinda glad the Wii U tanked, since it seems to have shaken Nintendo enough to - le gasp! - actually start innovating again, with the result being that the Switch lineup is easily their most solid in almost a decade... and the thing's barely a year old! Amazing what you can accomplish when you release more than just remakes, remasters, and rehashes.

[TheFox]

I really don't mind paying for mobile games, but $10 for THIS? It's not bad, but's not good either. Plus, it's extremely short. I bet they put it together in just a few months if not less.

The best way to fix it is to split the game up into demo/lite version and the paid version (like Geometry Dash did for example), adjust the price and add more content to the full version. The second option would be getting rid of the pricetag completely, sprinkling the game with some ads (unskippable 30-second ads would be a bad idea though) and adding a $1-$3 microtrasaction that would remove them.

[generatingwaves]

Ninetendo will never put ads on the game. That ruins their integrity. I respect that. If fans had known ahead of time then it may have worked out great!

[DivinePudding]

Why is it a failure? Waluigi isn’t playable that’s why.

[Gio-kxvq]

Mario Kart Tour better have a TOUR-nament mode.
