It would be cool to still have, but was anyone still playing it? I gave up quickly and out of all my friends that tried it, not one has played it in years.

Also:

Perhaps the lack of an offline version is down to the fact that Mario Kart World is seen as a key driver for the uptake of Switch 2 — and Nintendo would much rather you purchase a console to play that

Who is playing a bad mobile MK game instead of playing a console one? I feel like these two circles in the Venn diagram never overlapped. And if someone really wants that, get a used Switch lite and MK8. A good amount of the tracks were ported over to that game with better graphics, performance and no online requirements.

Does it matter? It starts with the mobile games, but that's how these big publishers boil the frog. Always gotta start with low heat and ramp it up slowly until-

Oops, no more disk drives! Don't like it? Too bad! Buy our new product!

It was surprising that Nintendo even tried mobile games, their consoles have always been their thing
