Is this the first numbered non-playstation console ever? I know there are numbered home computers like MSX2. Its the safest name and the Switch deserves it.

Technically, the Magnavox Odyssey 2 was first, but that was still marketed as a "computer video game system":

This. Why would you showcase your new and more powerful hardware with a Mario Kart game that looks almost identical to MK8. I thought it was MK8 until the posters in here pointed out a few differences

Games with this art style will not get major visual upgrades that are instantly noticeable without side by side comparisons.

Still though, I was expecting the first reveal of MK9 to show a bigger jump with nice lighting, lots of effects, a bunch of animation from the characters, a much improved poly count in the levels... and it may still have that, but this just wasn't the best first impression Nintendo could have made for it.  But I do like the potential for 24 racers at once.

The system looks great however.  Definitely excited to see more.
