Nintendo, for the love of Mother Mila, just make DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe already! You’ve literally made DLC for 4 of the games in the top 5 and yet you’ve ignored the best selling game on the system.
Just do it, we can wait till the next system for a new Mario Kart.
No, we can’t lmao. Mario Kart 8 has spanned almost two entire generations of gaming now, you REALLY want to delay it even further? The game already got it’s DLC almost half a decade ago.
It’s time for something new.
I agree with Reesette. If Switch is gonna be a 10 yr system, Mario Kart 9 is long overdue.
No more Mario Karts. Make Nintendo Kart. They already started with MK8 DLC and using other Nintendo characters is better than Baby Pink Gold Donkey Kong Jr.
I would not mind a Mario Kart/Nintendo Kart with Donkey Kong Jr. Get DK’s father in here, he’s been absent since the first one.
See the thing is; The NS is now in it’s final phase with at most 3 years and that’s likely being too generous.
If we were in the beginning of the NS’s lifespan I would 100% agree that Mario Kart 9 should happen but considering it’s almost been 5 years since the system dropped, it’s better they just save it until the next system.
As for in the meantime; May as well scratch that itch and just build on MK8D. Another thing to consider is if they make a Mario Kart 9 now, it will be at the ending point of the NS’s lifespan so when the next system drops, we’d be sitting on our butts for 2-3 years just waiting for them to release a new Mario Kart. Do you guys really want a rerun of what happened with the Wii U? Cause I sure as heck do not, still blows my mind that it took 1 and half years for them to release Mario Kart 8 after the system dropped when in reality it should have been 6 months, tops.
