Augmented reality mobile game in the Pikmin series
Mario Kart Tour, Nintendo's mobile racing game, will shut down on September 29 after a 7-year run, with no offline version offered to players. The game, which initially sparked controversy with its gacha-style mechanics, contributed to the development of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's Switch expansion pass. Players will enjoy subscription-level benefits until the shutdown.
A rumored Pikmin spin-off is reportedly in development, featuring major gameplay changes and a new art style, set to release next fiscal year.
