Ljink96 said: I think it would be silly to release another Mario Kart. 8 Deluxe sold another 4M units in the latest report. You're just going to shoot the sales of that game in the foot. But I can't think of any other Nintendo game with tires that could take a holiday spot. Don't get me wrong, I'd love a new Kart, who wouldn't at this point but 8 Deluxe is still selling so well. |
No, you’re absolutely right. A new Mario Kart would be one of the most cannibalistic things Nintendo can do at this point. Mario Kart 8 is not only Switch’s top selling game, but it’s one of Switch’s two killer apps (most consoles don’t even have one).
the only way Mario Kart 9 makes sense is if it does something significantly different than Mario Kart 8. Right now Mario Kart 8 is kind of like Mario Kart Wii 3 (with 7 being the second), Mario Kart Wii 4 would not be a good idea, it would have to be something different and compelling.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
