Your interests. I have no interest in a new Mario Kart game already. I'm perfectly fine with having one Mario Kart game, the best one in the series no less, to last me the Switch's life cycle and wait for Mario Kart 9 on Nintendo Switch 2, where they would be capable of doing much more on a system that is capable of doing much more. For now, I'd rather they do other things, come up with new IPs or revive old ones that would have a good chance at being successful on the Switch. Getting Mario Kart 9 instead would be a massive disappointment. |
Already? It's been 3 years since 8 and we probably won't get 9 for another 2 years. The comment I was referring too WAS you literally caring more about corporate interest. And this whole thing about Mario Kart 8 needing to go on and on and on because it's the best yet is just ridiculous. That could be said for any new best entry in a franchise. 9 could come out and people on the Switch 2 would say they don't want a 10, just 9 because it's the best entry in the series.
I would have preferred different projects than Splatoon 2 or Arms on the Switch, but that doesn't mean I don't think they're valuable to the Switch library or that I can't begin to like them more as I play them more. The same rule applies with Mario Kart 9, you might not think it's a priority to get it on the Switch because you want different projects, but that doesn't mean it isn't a priority for the console or other users. I don't really see the development of Mario Kart 9 taking away greatly from the Switch library like you are implying. It's not one or the other - unique properties or non-unique properties. If Nintendo wants a Mario Kart 9 on Switch, they will find a way to make it, whether or not their hands are tied on current projects.
And you're absolutely right that it is just what I want and not every gamer ever in the world ever of all time ever in all of space and time. ever. Maybe I am too stuck in the past, an old man who is grumpy and should just accept that sooner or later I need to lay down money for a port. Hell, maybe I'm even the minority and most people just want 8 deluxe for the rest of the Switch's life. I guess from my perspective, it's frustrating that the Switch is the first Nintendo console where fans are really just throwing up their arms and saying that ports are good enough because obviously if a game is that good already, more can't be done for it, right? It is so unoriginal and it feels like it goes against what Nintendo's actual developers - and not just port houses - are doing. Innovating and revolutionizing pretty much every major franchise. But whatever, that's just my opinion on it.
