Sure MK9 will...on the Switch 2. But we're talking about current gen. Would love to see a Wii Sports type game with online functionality. Hell, just give us a remastered version of Wii Sports (maybe even bundled with Wii Sports Resort) with online play. Improve the motion control, add some depth to each sport, and let the player control the tennis character, sell it at discount price $40 I'd pick that up in a heartbeat. 10 million sold would be pretty much guaranteed and I bet it could make a run at 20 million. This wouldn't even take much development effort, it seems kind of absurd that Nintendo hasn't done this yet! |
I don't see MK9 for Switch outside the realm of possibility since Nintendo's yet to create a brand new iteration for the console. As long as they make it notably distinct from MK8 Deluxe it makes sense and would still likely sell quite a bit.
Yeah, Nintendo has an odd tendency to leave potential cash cows on the table even if they're easy to make (and often especially if they are!). It seems they prefer to make the bigger projects like Mario Odyssey vs 2D Mario and say, Pikmin over Wii Sports - despite the easier, more profitable endeavor of the more "casual friendly" games. But yeah a somewhat more fleshed out version of Wii (or "Switch Sports") with more customization, more sport selections, and an online mode would be great. Would have thought it was unlikely though again, with Clubhouse Games coming soon and somewhat drawing from Wii Play I'd say it's a real possibility.
