Nintendo adds landscape mode to Mario Kart Tour

The Mario Kart Tour mobile game for iOS and Android can now also be played in landscape mode. Until now, it was only possible to race vertically in portrait mode, but a new update changes that. There is also a new button layout.

Nintendo says that the update for Mario kart Tour can be downloaded on Tuesday. In the update it is possible to rotate the screen and play in landscape mode. Playing in portrait mode, which was the only option until now, is still possible.

The update also changes the layout of the buttons. For example, steering is no longer done with a button in the middle of the screen, but at the bottom left. Throwing items is done in landscape mode via a button at the top right of the screen. Nintendo also added the multiplayer option for the game in March, which was hinted at since its release last year.
