Nintendo just announced a new free-to-play Dr. Mario A bitter pill to swallow? News by Martin Robinson Editor-in-chief Updated on 1 Feb 2019 23 comments If you're still drying your eyes over the delay of Mario Kart Tour, Nintendo's offered up just the cure. There's an all-new free-to-play Dr. Mario headed to mobile, with development being headed up by South Korean outfit NHN Entertainment, who follow DeNa and Cygames in being trusted with Nintendo's IP. Dr. Mario World is aiming for a summer release, and it'll be available in 60 different countries with Japan and the US listed as launch targets - though with Europe not currently listed, there's a chance it'll join Dragalia Lost which has yet to see a European release, Nintendo's most recent mobile effort, in taking its time to come to these shores. I'm told we'll have to wait for the full list of 60 countries supported at launch to see if anywhere local makes the cut. The doctor is in! Mario puts on the white coat once again in the mobile game Dr. Mario World, targeting an early summer 2019 global release. #DrMario https://t.co/DTRBympHj0 pic.twitter.com/RfMZbbs3Mp- Nintendo of America (@NintendoAmerica) January 31, 2019 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

Which, it's worth pointing out, is available to play on Switch as part of the Nintendo Switch Online service. It's pretty decent.
