Modern good brings more and more opportunities to peek behind the doors of new game titles across all platforms every day. Actions by large companies are also gaining strength in the case of devices with iOS, but not everyone works with the same company policy. Realities such as loot boxes and microtransactions, which in most cases attract extreme fees from fans for bonus content, represent (at least for most players) one of the most negative realities of the video game world. The creator of the legendary character Mario does not agree with this modern standard and certainly does not want to be dragged down by the microtransaction stream.

Shigeru Miyamoto, who was credited with co-creating perhaps the most legendary game character, is clear in his vision of Nintendo's future. The upcoming Mario Kart Tour title must not be built on the same system as the Super Mario Run pre game iOS. The title, which debuted in App Store back in 2016, it earned record profits, earning a record $24 million in the first 4 hours. Over the next four days, up to 40 million fans worldwide downloaded the game. However, as we know, Super Mario Run has one annoying thing.

Although the game is offered for free, it is only a kind of time-limited demo. Right after it, the question will appear whether we want to get the game in the form of In App Purchase for $9,99. The next project in the form of Fire Emblem Heroes was carried out in a similar spirit, offering an advantage to paying players in the form of microtransactions. However, this resulted in a wave of harsh criticism and Nintendo's smile froze on its face. Despite this, however, Nintendo managed to make more profits than in the case of the previous title. Miyamoto strongly disagrees with this concept and urges other developers not to be overly greedy and indulge their fans with free titles.

Instead of the In function App Purchase recommends a completely different course of action, one of the company's representatives. Instead of microtransactions, a more efficient way could be to introduce a game subscription. "It is important that all developers identify with one fact. If you're looking for some kind of partnership, it's imperative that people understand the value of your software. Then potential customers will also feel the value of the game and develop the habit of non-violently paying for game titles themselves," describes Miyamoto.

In the near future, Nintendo is preparing to release titles in the form of Dragalia Lost, which they are working on with the publisher CyberAgent Inc. and the expected Mario Kart Tour, which will arrive in March/March 2019. We will see if the company manages to apply a new method or if it will continue with the usual rhythm of the last months.
