Shuntaro Furukawa: "I think we can expect great results with Mario Kart Tour."

At the end of October, Shuntaro Furukawa said that Mario Kart Tour had a very good start compared to previous mobile games of the Nintendo brand. Today, the president of the Japanese company speaks again on the subject and welcomes the smooth operation of microtransactions.

Despite an excellent start, Super Mario Run has still been downloaded more than 300 million times, the latter was a disappointment in terms of revenue according to Nintendo. The title had not attracted enough players since they had to spend 10 euros to unlock the full game. That's why the Japanese company chose to change its business model with Mario Kart Tour . The mobile game highlighting the mustachioed plumber and his friends is turning to the side of free-to-play. A change now proving to be a winner, since according to SensorTower , players would have spent more than $ 37 million in play.

In the continuity of Super Mario Run, which attracts more than 300 million consumers, I think we can expect remarkable results with Mario Kart Tour.

Shuntaro Furukawa said today that "the benefits are also good" for Mario Kart Tour thanks to the implementation of microtransactions that take two forms. The first is the arrival of random rewards and the second is the introduction of a Gold Pass subscription. This subscription allows for example to challenge friends in multiplayer games.

By including these mechanisms and the multiplayer features, we want to make it an attractive app that will benefit consumers in the long run.

Gamespot took advantage of these many statements to ask Shuntaro Furukawa if Mario Kart Tour was going out on Chinese territory in the weeks or months to come. But he chose to remain mysterious.
