Mario Kart Tour Launches New Content and Events for Mario Kart World Celebration

Nintendo Pulls the Plug on Mario Kart Tour Content After 4 Years

Nintendo and DeNA have announced that they will no longer create new content for the mobile game Mario Kart Tour, four years after its launch. After the Anniversary Tour, all future seasons will consist of content from previous tours, with no new courses, drivers, karts, or gliders being added. This move suggests a potential release for the final DLC wave of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the Nintendo Switch. Compared to other major publishers, Nintendo's focus on mobile games has been minimal, with only a small percentage of its earnings coming from the platform. Mario Kart Tour is the second highest-earning mobile game for Nintendo, surpassing Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp.

Lawsuit Filed Against Nintendo for "Immoral" Mario Kart Lootboxes

Nintendo is facing a lawsuit over the use of lootboxes in mobile game Mario Kart Tour, with the plaintiff alleging that the company "capitalised on and encouraged addictive behaviours akin to gambling". The suit calls for refunds for all minors in the U.S. who bought the lootboxes, which were removed from the game in September 2022.

"Boy sues Nintendo over 'immoral' Mario Kart lootboxes"

A minor has filed a class action lawsuit against Nintendo over the now-removed lootbox mechanic in Mario Kart Tour, claiming that it violated consumer protection and business profession laws. The boy spent $170 on the game using his father's credit card and is seeking compensation for the game's gacha-style rewards system, which he alleges encouraged addictive behaviours akin to gambling. Nintendo removed the randomised Pipe rewards in September 2019 and now monetises the game via an in-game shop. Mario Kart Tour was Nintendo's second-highest grossing mobile game, earning an estimated $293m worldwide.
