Mario Kart Tour, Nintendo's next smartphone game, is in development. Its release is planned during the group's next fiscal year, between April 2018 and April 2019, without further details at this time. The Japanese firm also confirmed that it is working on an animated film Super Mario with the studio Illumination Entertainment.
Nintendo has officially announced the development of Mario Kart Tour, a new smartphone game that will be found on Android. Very little information has been released about him to date. We only know that the game will be released during the next fiscal year of the Japanese publisher, between April 2018 and April 2019. We will have to settle for a wide range of 12 months while waiting for more precise indications from Nintendo.
Mario Kart Tour: a smartphone game announced by Nintendo
Nintendo entered the smartphone gaming market quite late, but now seems to be accelerating at this level. Mario Kart Tour is expected to be the Kyoto firm's sixth app after Miitomo, Super Mario Run, Fire Emblem Heroes and Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. It was also announced that Miitomo's servers would close permanently on May 9, 2018 and that the app would no longer be usable from that date.
Despite the fact that it pays, Super Mario Run had seduced many players and it is understandable that Nintendo wants to continue to exploit Mario, which works every time. Super Mario Odyssey is also the most sold game on Switch ahead of… Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Since the publisher has not communicated anything about gameplay or game modes, we ask how he will decide to wear Mario Kart on our smartphones.
In other news, Nintendo President Tatsumi Kimishima confirmed that a Super Mario animated film would be produced in collaboration with Illumination Entertainment. Again, no details or release date, you'll have to take your pain in patience to find out more.
