Nintendo is launching Mario Kart tour on mobile September 25th and pre-order is available. Mario Kart Tour launches on iOS and Android and from some early impressions seems to be a fairly simple take on the Mario Kart formula. Not sure this will replace Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the Switch but if it's fun, i'll play it. These Nintendo mobile free titles haven't been great but if you don't have a modern Nintendo system and don't mind simple fun, they aren't too bad.

I’m tentatively looking forward to this but... Dr Mario left a bad taste in my mouth. I hope this doesn’t fall so incredibly deep into the free-to-play trappings.

Ron Howard: It did.

Haha, yeah. I want another Mario Run style game but they’ll never do that again.

“Style” as in the payment model, not the genre.

Yep. I agree. I don't think they made as much money on Mario Run as they wanted to.
