Nintendo announced today, through the official profile of the mobile game Mario Kart Tour, the arrival of landscape mode for the game on smartphones with Android and iOS (iPhone). Along with this change, the company claims that there will also be a new layout for the controls.
Mario Kart Tour debuted in September 2019 and arrived only with the option to play in portrait mode. In the format it was originally released in, some commands sometimes failed because of the screen layout. Now, with landscape mode, the game experience should be more comfortable and even more immersive, as it will allow you to show more of the scenery around the kart.
