Excellent prediction. If there’s been one consistent story throughout the Switch era it has been the unrelenting sales of MK8DX. I knew it was an amazing game on WiiU and I’m glad it got the chance to reach so many people on the Switch.
I think we still have a few years to go. Spring 2026 is when I think we’ll see MK9/10 and I’m still holding out hope for a revolutionary Mario Kart experience. They need to bring something absolutely special with the next game and I’m sure they’re pouring massive resources into its production. Between this, a new Animal Crossing, and a new 3D Mario, Switch 2 should be able to keep up the momentum they’ve made with the Switch. It’s going to be so fun once the Switch 2 Directs start!
