Nintendo is one of the most well-known developers who are still active with the Mario Kart Tour game. Of the current issues, the one that stands out the most is that Mario Kart Tour is currently in testing for the PC version. Nintendo usually has a tough situation when it comes to exporting games to different devices.
Mario Kart Tour is a game that has tracks based on real-world locations and has a large fan base. It has supported many players who don’t have consoles to play this famous racing game using their mobile devices.
A growing rumor about Mario Kart
Within the developer, many fans of the game and information gleaned from various sites found that the game’s new “mouse support” feature was added as an alternative input in that Mario Kart Tour was making its way to PC. Some people think this is just an experiment for development purposes only.
Because this year, Google will launch the Google Play Games application for PC, it’s no wonder that all existing Android games can be played using high-performance emulation. This will be a big project where the game will be structured in such a way that it produces a high-quality game that is different from other games in the lower middle market.
Does this mean Mario Kart Tour can definitely be played on PC? Until now there has been no official confirmation, but Mario Kart Tour will be a perfect game as one of the applications on Google Play Games for PC. Given the changes Nintendo has made in recent years to announce its title on PC, there’s a lot of potential to be expected from this project and a lot of streamers will be eagerly waiting for the game to come out. Although it may happen, it will not happen in the near future.
However, Nintendo has repeatedly added that they are always trying to increase engagement by connecting a wider audience using Nintendo IP via mobile. With the Mario Kart Tour series on the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass, there have been no changes to strategy and it’s only natural that they would develop this game to play on PC.
In addition, the range of mobile games from this platform is also ready to be released on PC. One of the most awaited ones is Pokemon Unite, where it is already available on Nintendo Switch as well as free-to-play mobile devices. Then also Fire Emblem Heroes entered the headlines in 2022 for Nintendo’s mobile games division with a total income of up to $1 billion.
Even though Nintendo is notoriously successful with their games being exclusive to their own consoles, it seems the platform doesn’t see any need for them to migrate from console to PC for these games.
