TalkBack / Re: Analyzing Mario Kart Tour’s Biggest Update
« on: November 02, 2022, 07:04:53 AM »
I fully agree with everything you’ve said here, I’m a gold member anyway and agree it’s the best way to get the most out of the game, I think it’s pretty cheap…the price of a cup of coffee out per month. My biggest disappointment with this update is the tier and token shops, you just can’t get anything cool in there anymore and it kind of makes earning tokens and coins a little less fun and purposeful. In this autumn update (released today) there’s only like 6 things in the token shop and tbh I don’t really care what balloon I have in battle mode so that’s uninteresting already, the two level up tokens are for silver and gold karts on mine, which I really never use anymore as I’ve got plenty of high end ones. The rubies are ok and the pipe is kind of like a novelty fun item now too, but very disappointing compared to previous token shops. Then the tier shop is only ever level up or point boost tickets for me now, again, just a bit disappointing compared to previous tours. I definitely feel like this was a power move for Nintendo, all about getting players to spend actual money to get more rubies as that’s really the only way to get decent characters and cars and gliders anymore. I’m not mad about the spotlight shop, I actually think it’s kind of good as I know I can just save up and I will definitely get the item…sometimes I’d spend like 300rubies with very little to show for it (no high end characters) so it’s eliminated that…and I have been able to get 1 character each week without spending any more cash than my monthly subscription…
Anyway, not quite sure how to word this but I just feel like the game has sold out a little bit? It’s kind of lost its spark for me? I definitely feel hard done by now I only get 25 rubies for coming first, as apposed to the previous 40 I would get.. I think it’ll just take some getting used to as you said, and I won’t be turning my back on the game as I’ve invested time and money over the years and still enjoy it. I think I would be happy if there were more opportunities to earn rubies, or if the spotlight items were slightly cheaper so we could get more for our wins, especially as a gold pass player!
Thanks for the review anyway man, it’s nice to have someone else to geek out over this with 😂
