After the success of Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp on Android and iOS, Nintendo made the big announcement, and one of its pillars since the SNES will arrive on our mobile devices. Here at NeoTeo we tell you all the news about Mario Kart and Nintendo's foray into mobile.
Despite not having much information, we do know that Nintendo's most popular racing game will arrive on our devices next year. The popularity of the game created by Miyamoto is also reflected in sales, as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Nintendo Switch) sold 7.33 million copies while Mario Kart 8 on Wii U did its part with 8 million copies.
After the Niantic phenomenon with Pokemon GO, Nintendo began to take note and its path to mobile started on the right foot, first with Mario Run and then with Animal Crossing. But nostalgia could not be complete without the legendary karting game that first saw the light in 1992.
In addition to the two games mentioned above that are on Android and iOS, the short list is completed by the app for Nintendo Switch, the parental control app and the social network Miimoto, which closed its servers a few days ago. Nintendo's social app was the one that started this journey on mobile, where you could chat with friends and play several minigames. After 2 years, Nintendo announced the closure of Miitomo, the app with which Nintendo started in the mobile market. Without even reaching 2 years of life, Nintendo announced the closure of its servers for May 9 of this year.
We'll see the direction Nintendo takes, but for now the news is more than good and it excites us to think that more titles of this weight could come adapted to our cell phones. We hope that enjoying Mario Kart on mobile will be a great experience, although we strongly ask the company led by Masahiro Sakurai that it not be full of microtransactions as happened with Mario Kart, which, despite being a very entertaining game, has generated some adverse opinions in this regard.
