It's been one year since 8DX annoucned final DLC and Tour's own final update as well. I'd like to know if you guys do

All following are my personal take and you don't necessarily have to agree. Please feel free to express your own take in comments.


===============

*I feel like it's overall NOT a good take to make Tour entirely being MK8's expansion without major contents on its own, as a result it feels very much like Nintendo just took out the MK8 DLC contents and pretend to make a brand new mobile game, just to make fans pay twice.

**Regarding to it, I feel like Tour and MK8 DLCs could had been two different games. Tour entirely focus on realworld city courses while new MK8 DLC courses introduce more courses from fantasy themes or other Mario world landscape.

**Not saying that Tour city courses cannot be ported to console versions, but they should do it only after its fully shutdown. Of course, there are definitely much more potential within the Tour concept and it really deserves to keep ongoing IMO.

*So the other unacceptable point to me was making several main characters (e.g. Dixie, Nabbit, Poochy etc) exclusive to Tour on purpose, furthermore, those racers don't even have any exclusive tour costumes to make them fit in.

**I personally feel like MK8 should include all the built racers in BP, while Tour could dedicate to giving all the racers sightseeing costumes (Hime Dixie, Gladiator Nabbit, Renaissance Ludwig etc) to really fulfill its theme.

*As I said before, I think it's a truly giant miss for Mario mobile titles to not try promotion and advertising by doing contents that relate to very recent games, such as a Peach Showtime Tour or a Super Mario Movie Tour.

**Also it's definitely possible for Tour to also introduce guest brand tours to milk the rich money, which would be more acceptible than adding Link and Isabelle to Mario Kart 8 back in WiiU.

BCP added Funky and Diddy who were the main reason I even got the DLC. Could've gone with Dixie as well but the Mario Kart 8 devs had built up almost a decade of pent-up steaming rage at not having yet another Peach clone in the game, so they had to let that out.

Courses were fun.
 
Uhm excuse me? Nobody has idea? (surprise to see no reply across many days.

I thought it was awesome, doubling our course count. Then the paywall showed up. Still great so many old tracks saw remake light, as well as Tour courses and new as well. New characters and custom ites were perfect additions too

The topic is more about the correlation between the two titles, not really about having expansion as a sole point.
