Mario Karts seems to release in May. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Mario Kart 9 release 6 months-9 months after the console release, and not during a holiday. It’s a title that creates its own holiday. I also think they’ll want at least 10 million units in players hands before they release it.

I think it's probably a safe bet that Mario Kart just sells any time in the year, lol. 

Super Mario Kart - Aug/September 1992

Mario Kart 64 - December '96 (Japan), Feb '97 (USA)

Mario Kart: Super Circuit (GBA) - July 2001

Mario Kart: Double Dash (GCN) - November 2003

Mario Kart DS - November 2005

Mario Kart Wii - April 2008

Mario Kart 7 (3DS) - December 2011

Mario Kart 8 (Wii U) - May 2014

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Switch) - April 2017

Mario Kart Tour (iOS/Android) - September 2019

Mario Kart Next (Switch 2?) - 2024? 

Also holy shit 2024 will be 10 years since Mario Kart 8 released ... it's beyond time for a new game peoples. 

Thanks for the clarity!

I’ve only been following Mario Kart since the Wii version and I always temper it being around May. April wasn’t too far off (not counting handhelds, of course). 

I think my point still stands, though, regarding how far away from holiday they’ve been launching. 

And yes, 10 years is an eternity. Hopefully what we see next blows our minds. We can only hope.
