Coming from Nintendo's investor Q&A...

Question: Why are you doing a closed beta test for Mario Kart Tour? Will future mobile games be tested like this as well?

Answer Furukawa: We won't necessarily test all future applications this way. For Mario Kart Tour, we want to have a decent number of consumers playing from the start, which means we need to test the game thoroughly so weʼll know what the gameplay experience will be like when a lot of consumers are playing it. Our plan is to run the closed beta test and gather consumer feedback to make our final adjustments to the application.
