Fans of the mobile Mario game Super Mario Run will be happy to see that a pair of new games is coming from Nintendo to iOS and Android. Unfortunately, one of the games, Mario Kart Tour, was supposed to come out sooner and was pushed to release around the same time as the second game, Dr. Mario World.
Mario Kart Tour Needs a Pit Stop 415yc
During one of Nintendo's investor meetings, the Big N gave us a simple update on Mario Kart Tour. “In the smart-device business, Mario Kart Tour was scheduled to be released this fiscal year, but in order to improve quality of the application and expand the content offerings after launch, the release date has been moved to summer 2019." So while the game isn't too far away -- summer will be here before you know it -- it is disappointed that we aren't getting more of an update. At the moment, we know very, VERY, little about what this game will be, especially considering Nintendo's rocky past with online gaming.
Will this game be a single-player only experience? Will this be a competitive racing game? Will you control your driving with motion controls or touch swiping? Will you even be driving at all? We'd briefly heard that the game was announced way back at the beginning of 2018, and we got a little look at the logo above, but there hasn't been a single drop of information about the game other than that it will be coming. We can expect to hear something soon, especially with that summer release window looming over us, but at the moment Nintendo hasn't had much to say. Unfortunately, that's also true about the other game Nintendo talked about at that meeting.
Dr. Mario World Will Also Drop This Summer 2395l
Also coming to iOS and Android at an undetermined date this summer, Dr. Mario World was confirmed at the same investor meeting. Nintendo describes the game as "Free to with optional in-app purchases" The Dr. Mario series is very similar to Tetris, a puzzle game about removing blocks/viruses from the screen, though the rules are a bit different from classic Tetris. Though Nintendo is still pretty quiet about what the game will be, it's pretty easy to imagine how a game like this would translate to a smart device.

If you're looking for any other opportunities to play a free-to-play, though Super Mario Run is more of a "free-to-start" type of game, they're a great way to see where Nintendo's head is at with this new expansion onto smart devices.
