No thanks. Mario Kart 8 may be the best Mario Kart title to date but what makes the series truly great is the unique qualities of each entry. Even in the event that Mario Kart 9 won't surpass its predecessor there's nothing to suggest that the game won't be memorable and make Nintendo lots of money. I do believe, however, that they would be wise to use this opportunity to revitalize and properly market F-Zero while MK 8.5 "extends" the wait for a newer entry, so I don't wholly disagree with you.
And then there's Smash 4 which is simply riddled with flaws as a result of having a short development time and poor directing from Sakurai: No proper story mode, forgettable event matches, Ganondorf staying a clone, poor music selection with pretty much all worthwhile content being borrowed from previous entries in the series, edgeguarding being virtually unviable outside of specific matchups, the rage mechanic rewarding poor players, shielding/rolling/airdodging being overpowered resulting in overly defensive play (particularly in For Glory), high amount of input lag, moves doing little damage in general, little to no room for creative combos that extend beyond two or three moves, the four previous points causing average matches to last a ridiculously long amount of time, and the list goes on. Even after countless patches, no game has ever been in greater need of a sequel to fix its many shortcomings.
