Why don't they just call it MK9 instead?

it really comes up to Nintendo, given the time between a MK game and another we know that a full MK game takes about 3 years to be made, in fact I predicted that a new MK game would come out in 2017 when the Switch was still known as the NX, if Nintendo doesn't feel the need for another MK I think that's completely possible they added 24 brand new tracks, otherwise if they plan on releasin MK9 later in the Switch lifecycle the new tracks are certainly 8

It will be much quicker than that because the engine and mechanics are being reused so they aren't starting from scratch.

I'm talking about a brand new MK game, of course new stages for 8 take far less than that but given the power that is inside the Switch I'm positive Nintendo will upgrade at some point in its lifetime...

It's the DLC, of course.

If they made 24 new tracks they would make MK9.

Hopefully it is much better than that! Especially if there are no discount for Wii U MK8 Users.

Fake, fake, fake, fake, fake...



Bet with PeH: 

I win if Arms sells over 700 000 units worldwide by the end of 2017.

Bet with WagnerPaiva:

 

I win if Emmanuel Macron wins the french presidential election May 7th 2017.

So who's saying the guy who claims that it's fake isn't faking?



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Yeah i catched up with the thread. There was no need to fix it, because having the DLC on the disk is highly likely.

The power difference between the wii u and a docked switch is about 2.5, about the same difference between 720p and 1080p. So for MK9 they might as well use the same engine but with a higher resolution of 1080p. The switch isn't powerful enough to produce graphics a generation above MK8, so they maybe better off refining what they have in MK8.
