Nintendo informer Emily Rogers has heard that the upcoming Mario Kart title for the Nintendo Switch will be a grand mix of old and new content. The racer will contain all the courses and downloadable content from Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U, but it will feature plenty of new and exclusive content. These include brand new tracks, new playable characters, and a new-and-improved battle mode. It’s rumoured that the game will launch within the first three months of the Nintendo Switch’s March 2017 launch.
Thanks to paidenthusiast for the tip!
she gave us all that, and not the name?
The name might not even exist yet. Names often aren’t finalized until very late into a game’s development.
Mario Kart Switch. Obviously.
||Mario Kart 9: Double Switch…||
god i hope so. double dash is still my favorite mk of all time
Yes!!
As in, Switch Mario Kart 8 for the new one.
Mario kart legends..
(Same type of treatment as hyrule warriors and hyrule warriors legands))

All of this sounds good, especially the improved battle mode. Seems like they listened to some of the criticism on Mario Kart 8.
No Mario Kart and no Zelda at launch.
So the Switch is launching with fucking nothing?
Please stop giving attention to this person.
3D Mario seems highly likely. Skyrim. Perhaps you should wait until January when they reveal the full launch list.
A 3D Mario game would be a holidays title like 3D World or Galaxy.
I’m expecting this game to be the Mario Kart to end all Mario Karts (well at least until Nintendo’s next console!). A constantly expanding platform of content with free updates and paid DLC years down the line. This rumour coincides with that, but we’ll see if it’s actually true.
Also, even though Battle Mode has never been a big deal for me, it is for many, and I hope they really are fixing it up. Battle Mode was the singular flaw in Mario Kart 8, otherwise it was just a phenomenal experience all round.
Any Random Person could just guess all of the above and most likely be right.
Mario Kart 8 Director’s Cut
Mario Kart 8 1/2.
PLEASE, it’s not even two month! Can’t we just wait for TWO FUCKING MONTH?! Jesus Christ!
Fingers crossed for Wario Stadium 64.
FUCK EMILY ROGERS. Just another attention whore.
Your a idiot.
*You’re
*an
Look who’s calling who an idiot.
You know Splatoon is great but Mario Kart should be the packed in title.
Mario kart galaxy?
Whatever they add, I hope one of the additions is E. Gadd as a racer- his inclusion is FAR overdue.
Also, Luigi’s Mansion 3 as a launch title, please and thank you.
I’m really worried, I want a brand new MK not a remake, it feels like they are going Sony and MS way… horrible.
It would be nice if Super Strikers all new comes to the Switch. It gives something new to play for this rhyming witch.
So what happens to the Mario Kart 8 I already own and paid money for?
You play it on your Wii U???
Why? The better one is coming out.
But seriously, what was the point of even getting this game?
First they advertise it like crazy with their fancy DLC content (and Pink Gold Peach, clone of all clones). The they announce a new system, with a newer version of the same game.
I paid 60 bucks for the game, 20 bucks for the DLC packs, and invested all lot of time and effort into these cups. I want my money back.
Nintndo is turning into EA/Activision, because I’ve heard horror stories of them pulling stunts like this too.
this.
The point of getting the game is you got to play it for 3 years before the new switch version. Holy shit are you a giant entitled baby.
Mario Kart 8 Rii Used
She is working with Nintendo. Mario kart switch will be exciting.
everybody could hace come up with that…
So basically Mario Kart 8 2.0 ? Does that mean Switch library will consist mostly from 2.0 versions of WiiU games?
to have a fast tun around and avoid the draught like the wii U I hope that mario Kart 8.2 will allow poor wii U user to have the Wii U DLC for free…
I’d be much more hyped for a packed in game if it was Mario Kart. Instead, it might be Splatoon? Meh…
Emily is always full of shit or re-reporting come on you just make your own website look bad arg
Why doesn’t Nintendo just make this Mario Kart 9, instead of a beefed up Mario Kart 8?
Exactly. Sounds like bad news to me. But then again, maybe it means they really ment it when they said Switch will be ‘the third pillar’. Perhaps the WiiU will continue to be supported? ^^
