Nintendo Shuts Down Mario Kart Tour After 7 Years, No Offline Version Planned

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.
