Nintendo has announced that we can enter the mobile race track in Mario Kart Tour in the fiscal year from March 2018 to March 2019.
The new application will appear for smartphones and tablets. Unfortunately, no additional information about the title is known for now.

Mario Kart Mobile
In all honesty, we are not very big fans of Nintendo’s choice. Firstly Mario Kart will succeed on every platform. But now that the Nintendo Switch is doing so very well, we believe that Nintendo should not really fight with itself. By this we mean that Nintendo now sometimes competes with its own Nintendo 3DS against the Nintendo Switch and with the arrival of a mobile version of Mario Kart that situation does not improve.
Nintendo might be better off betting on the Nintendo Switch and use time of Mario Kart Tour for Mario Kart 9 … the first real Mario Kart for Nintendo Switch. But hey, that’s our opinion, what do you think?
