The battles will come mario kart tour

The anniversary update, scheduled for later this month, will bring with it the classic battle mode, which will be available in single player as well as multiplayer, just as it had been hinted at weeks ago. This new mode will work the same as in previous deliveries, in which the pilot will have balloons tied to his vehicle and his mission will be to blow up those of his rivals.

Additionally, this update will unify the normal races and the golden races of the multiplayer mode and it will no longer be necessary to have the Golden Pass to enjoy the latter, as they will disappear. However, the Gold Pass will still be required to level up past S rank.

mario kart tour will stop being gachapon

The anniversary update is that it will mark the opening of the Featured Store, where it will be possible to purchase pilots, vehicles and wings (both new and from past seasons) in exchange for rubies (the premium currency of the game).

What is striking is that with this addition the pipe that is used with rubies will be eliminated, the means by which it was possible to get the characters, vehicles and wings since the debut of the game and that worked as the banners of Genshin Impact, for example, based on luck. In other words, players will be able to forget about the random-based system and thus be able to buy items directly from the store.

As if that were not enough, it was confirmed that from the new update the perks of “some pilots, vehicles and wings of the pipes that were activated with rubies” will be removed, which made some tracks of the competitive cups favorable for the featured units.

There are doubts about the changes in mario kart tour

The gachapon system, loot boxes and more similar models in free-to-play games have been criticized for a long time, as many consider it to be gambling. Thus, many were happy with the elimination of the gachapon model, since they will then know what they are buying, they will no longer have to spend hundreds of rubies and unfortunately they will not get what they wanted.

However, there are other players who were surprised by the decision, since DeNA did not even explain the reasons for their decision, although some believe that it is a measure as a result of the regulations that are being carried out regarding loot boxes. and this type of “bet” in regions such as the United Kingdom. In addition, they took this movement with caution, as there is a lot of uncertainty and some suggest that the change will be for the worse.

Some players think that the items will soon be available directly, but at a high price. To put it in perspective. A pipe is emptied with 450 rubies, which ensures that you get the featured Mega Rare items and others (between 6 and 12).

Watch them charge 200 rubies for each of the new items from that point on. If this actually happens, I’d quit the game.

The future of MKT be like:

ME! I’VE SPENT 300 RUBIES AND GOT ​​ALL THE ITEMS! I’m broke now, but who cares haha

Old MKT players: OMG a Gold Pipe! I GOT ALL MY SPOTLIGHTS OFF OF ONE TEN PULL! 45 rubies only, LET’S GO!

It is already possible to buy items with rubies directly, precisely outfits for the Mii (which count as a pilot). The price? 100 rubies. That is, with the same amount to empty a pipe, only 4 pilots could be achieved. Which did not please many players, since something similar to what was seen in Rocket League when he removed his loot box system.

We still don’t know how the new store will work in detail, so we don’t know if it will be positive or negative for the players. At the moment, there is only uncertainty.

“We are also preparing a lot of things,” DeNA said in the letter, without elaborating.
