TOKYO: Nintendo Co Ltd's hotly awaited mobile title Mario Kart Tour launched on Wednesday with many users initially complaining server overload meant they could not play the game that is seen as a major test of the Kyoto-based company's mobile ambitions.

A Nintendo spokesman said the company was aware that, due to heavy traffic, some users were having trouble accessing the game but he said the situation was improving. Mario Kart Tour, which risks disappointing gamers with its initial lack of a multiplayer option, includes an in-game currency that can be used to try and win rare characters and items and a US$4.99 monthly subscription to unlock in-app rewards.That's the same price point as Apple Inc's "Apple Arcade" streaming service, which offers more than 100 titles.
