Mario Kart Tour makes its way to Android and iOS devices today

If you are a Nintendo fan but live in India where the Japanese company has little to no presence, then we’ve got some good news for you. After the release of Mario Run and Pokemon GO on mobile devices, Nintendo have once again surprised us all and dropped Mario Kart Tour on Android and iOS devices. The acclaimed Kart racer has finally made its way to mobile devices and you can download and play it right now. 

First announced back in 2018, the free-to-play Kart racer has now been released for all mobile devices. Just a bit of a heads up though, as you’ll need a Nintendo account to play the game. The registration process isn’t too cumbersome so you’ll be able to jump right into the game. Once you’re done with the registration, you’ll get a random character to help you familiarize yourself to the controls. Unlike the Switch version, here you’ll be using the touch screen tom control your character. The basic, swipe left and right to change direction are both here while using items requires you to just tap the bottom of your screen. The controls are simple enough, but you may take time to get used to it if you’re a console player.

We downloaded the game on our office phone and played about a level or two. It isn’t a massive download either as it’s just under 130MB on Android devices. We were given the character of Peach and completed a few races with her. As we said before, it took us sometime to get used to the controls but once we got the hang of it, we were drifting our way to the finish line. And, although Mario Kart is a free game, you bet that they’ll be microtransactions tacked on. 

So, if you’re down to race against the characters featured on all Mario games, head on over to the Google Play store and the Apple App store to download Mario Kart Tour.

PlayStations State of Play delivers trailers for The Last of Us 2, Call of Duty and more

Sony held its annual State of Play presentation yesterday and while there wasn’t too much to really write home about, there were a few announcements that have gotten fans excited. We got a slick trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, a little bit of quirky weirdness in Wattam and the much-anticipated trailer and a release date for Naughty Dog’s, The Last of Us 2. 

Here is everything that was announced at PlayStation’s State of Play presentation. 

The Last of Us 2 trailer and release date

Released in 2013, The Last of Us was one of the games that propelled the PlayStation to new heights. The tale of Joel and Ellie was a heart-breaking, visceral journey through the post-fungi apocalypse. One of the highest rates and best-selling games on the console, a sequel was inevitable. Which is where The Last of Us 2 comes in. We’ve got a brand-new trailer that sees the return of Joel as well as a confirmed release date. The game comes out on February 21 and as of right now, the pre-order for the game is up on the PlayStation India store. 

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare story trailer

If the latest trailer is anything to go by, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare looks stunning. The trailer doesn’t reveal too much, but it shows more grounded action and a grittier plot. Check out the trailer for yourselves. 

Wattam looks like a lot of fun

If you’ve ever played Katamari Damacy,  you know that Keita Takahashi is a strange man. His latest game, Wattam is pretty much more of the same. It looks incredibly quirky and just plain fun. If you want a unique video game that will challenge the notion of what a game is, then Wattam is right up your alley. 

Miscellaneous

Sony also announced L.A Noir VR for the PS VR. It would be nice to step into the world of L.A Noir once again so this is welcome announcement. 

Another game that caught our eye was the beautifully haunting, Arise. This looks like a beefier version of Journey with the deserts replaced by a winter landscape. 

Sony also revealed the playable demo for Medievil. This was one of my personal favorites when I was a child. You can download the demo from the PlayStation Store. 

We’re also getting a limited-edition Death Stranding themed console that will launch the same day as the game, November 8.
