Nintendo officially launches the Mario Kart Tour on September 25

Mario Kart is one of the most successful Nintendo games to date. Thus, in early 2018, Nintendo announced the arrival of Mario Kart Tour in the spring. Since then, the game has become available for a limited experience and its launch has been postponed until the summer of 2019.

Finally, Nintendo announced today on its official Twitter account that it would launch the highly anticipated Mario Kart Tour on the Android and iOS platforms on September 25, in almost three weeks.

Nintendo has also created a special Twitter account called @mariokarttourEN for everything related to Mario Kart Tour. After the announcement, Android users can pre-register for the game, while iOS users can also pre-order this game.

Based on published photos of the demo version of Mario Kart Tour, the gameplay of this new game is very similar to that of Mario Kart, with the difference that the acceleration is automatic and that it is enough for the users of slide to the screen to control their characters.

The other interesting aspect of the game is that it will be played vertically and not horizontally. There will also be a host of characters to choose from at the beginning, including Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Toad, Toadette, Rosalina, Waluigi, Baby Peach, Baby Daisy, Rosalina Baby, Metal Mario, Larry, Lemmy, Ludwig and Dry Bones and Dry Bowser.

It has already been announced that Mario Kart Tour will be available for free download. This means that it will adopt a model similar to the one we saw in Super Mario Run where it will be free for a certain stage, but players will have to pay to unlock the rest of the game and its content.
