Mario Kart VR in motion:

It's only in Japan, likely a test. 

This makes me wonder if they could make a free DLC for the VR mode to add onto Mario Kart 8 for those who buy a Switch XL model and already own Mario Kart 8.  If they tagged it on then it would save them resources for other things and they would capitalize on the already huge install base of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.  The main point against that is that Mario Kart 8 has a lot of disorienting tracks.  For a VR experience, it would likely require simpler more fluid tracks.  I'm sure they would work those decisions out in development and testing.  Maybe limit VR mode to 100cc or something.

Or it could be something built for Mario Kart 9 ... I mean think about it, people are saying "well MK9 wouldn't be much different from MK8 so what's the point" ... except a VR mode would be a pretty huge addition to the franchise.
