Prediction: Mario Kart 9 won't release until a decade or more after MK8

It does feel like MK has little elsewhere to go in its traditional format. 8 pretty much maximized it. Where could they go from here? Diddy Kong Racing 2. Of course Mario has far more brand recognition than Diddy does, so they'll call it MK9 or some offshoot. ~3 years from now, one can hope. There's my big prediction for the day.
