Mario cart Mobile Nintendo has revealed that they are bringing Mario Kart to Smartphones. The announcement arrived earlier today via Twitter that the game is in development and will release before the end of March 2019.
Whilst the news is a bit of a shock and should be welcomed by gamers across the planet, Nintendo has released a whole host of its titles on mobile recently. Mario has already made is mobile phone debut in the form of Super Mario Run. As well as that they have also released Animal Crossing Pocket Camp, Pokemon Go, Miitomo and Fire Emblem Heroes.
Nintendo has been taking a different tact with their mobile releases to their competitors. They seem to be selling their games as premium, one-time purchases rather than the microtransaction-heavy strategies employed by others.
The checkered flag has been raised and the finish line is near. A new mobile application is now in development: Mario Kart Tour! #MarioKartTour Releasing in the fiscal year ending in March 2019. pic.twitter.com/8GIyR7ZM4z
