Nintendo’s mobile version of Mario Kart is about to get a lot more traditional. In a new sneak-peek video, Mario Kart Tour’s official Twitter account shows off the next update’s landscape mode feature. This will flip the orientation for a more familiar experience to fans of the console games.
Here's a sneak peek at some of the content that's planned for the next #MarioKartTour update. Players will have the option of racing in either the existing portrait mode or the new landscape mode!

Naturally the new control layout will be familiar to fans of the console games too, with the steering being done with your left thumb. It looks like you still won’t be able to hop on command, however.
The update is scheduled to drop on July 21st.

Whether it’s an exciting new entry in a series long established or a weird experiment meant only for the dedicated, Tom is eager to report on it. Rest assured, if Nintendo ever announces Elite Beat Agents 2, he’ll be there.
