Well, folks, looks like Nintendo is finally pulling the plug on Mario Kart Tour this September after a good seven-year run. The kicker? They're not even offering an offline version, meaning all those unique tracks and characters that only existed in the mobile game will essentially vanish into the digital ether. Talk about brutal! After all the gacha mechanics they started with and then changed, to just erase it all feels pretty wild. I guess they really want us to buy a Switch 2 for our Mario Kart fix, rather than letting us preserve a slice of its mobile history. Guess you truly don't own anything you don't physically possess in the gaming world anymore, eh?
