I've been thinking about the fact that Nintendo is releasing all of these old tracks as DLC. Not one alternate IP universe or theme. No new characters that we can see. Which makes me think something pretty big is being planned for the next Mario Kart since they could just as well have used these throwbacks in the next title.
The next Mario Kart will be the Smash Bros of the Switch 2 with characters being pulled from internal and external IPs, maps will be based on various IPs, again both internal and external. We'll start with a pretty robust lineup of Nintendo characters and tracks, and shortly thereafter the first DLC pack will be announced with the first crossover character and track.
Nintendo slightly dipped their toes in the water this gen with this concept, and it seemed to pay off very well. The fact they're not going right back to that suggests to me they're holding back their cards for now. Considering that Smash Ultimate is a wrap and they've pretty much mined all they can get from crossovers for that series, this seems like a no-brainer and will certainly make a lot of folks happy. I can't wait to race on Brinstar or Tallon. Or maybe Midgar before it was destroyed.
