It remains to be seen how well Nintendo’s latest mobile game will perform, with industry analysts labelling the Japanese efforts in the market so far as “horrific”. It has also been confirmed that Mario Kart Tour will require a Nintendo Account to play. “Like other Nintendo mobile games, it’s expected there will be an in-game currency to download new tracks and characters, as well as a limit on how long you can play before you have to purchase more time.” “The game will be free to start, but then there will be in-app purchases,” Patrick O’Rourke, tech analyst and managing editor of MobileSyrup told Bloomberg. You will be able to install the new Mario Kart Tour game on your smartphone for free, but Nintendo will rely on in-app purchases which require players to reach for their credit card. Mario Kart Tour will be “ free-to-start“, which means it will be free to download and play, but optional extras will likely need to be paid for. Nintendo is releasing Mario Kart for smartphones later this year – here’s everything we know so far How much does it cost? In certain races, first place isn’t always the goal, and new bonus challenge courses will demand a different approach to gameplay and strategy.

“With just one finger, you can steer and drift with ease, sling devastating items as you go for the gold in cups filled with new and classic Mario Kart courses,” they say. Like Super Mario Run, Nintendo are putting a focus on being able to play with just one finger (so you can get your Mario Kart fix even while standing on a cramped bus to work). In the trailer, we saw a course clearly inspired by Paris, with an Eiffel Tower-like structure at its centre. The destinations will be featured in “tours” that rotate every two weeks.
