In yet another instance of big-name companies wanting to dip their toes in mobile gaming, Nintendo just announced that they're planning to release Mario Kart Tour on Android. A closed beta for Nintendo’s Mario Kart Tour mobile game will run from May 22 to June 4 in Japan and the United States, according to Nintendo. Applications for the beta are open from now until May 7 on the game’s official website. For now, the test is limited only to Android devices.

　　This is the first time we've heard pretty much anything about Mario Kart’s entry into the mobile gaming space. The game's release was pushed from March to Summer 2019 earlier this year, but there is no specific release date specified just yet. Here's an overview of the official beta:

　　About

　　The closed beta test is a test of an application under development and is held for customers in order to improve the quality of the game.
