Nintendo has been going all in with their offerings on mobile devices, and they’ve enjoyed quite a bit of success in the process. Despite Miitomo closing down later this year and Super Mario Run underperforming due to its premium pricing model, Fire Emblem Heroes and Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp have been big successes. Now Nintendo has revealed what their next mobile game will be, and it’s from the Mario Kart series.
Nintendo announced recently that they are developing a new game in the Mario Kart series for mobile devices, and it will be called Mario Kart Tour. The company didn’t share any information on the game regarding how it plays, the characters that will be in it or anything like that, but they did give an estimate on its release date. The company claims that the game will release in the fiscal year ending in March 2019, which means that the game is set to release within the next year.
This is a very smart move on Nintendo’s part, as Mario Kart is a massive franchise that would likely do very well in the free-to-play market. The company has learned a lot with the mobile games that they’ve released so far, and with the right payment model and the tried-and-true Mario Kart gameplay the next game on mobile devices could be a big hit.
We’ll be getting much more information on Mario Kart Tour in the coming months, so be sure to stay tuned for that.
