The MK team within Nintendo has rather the option to develop more unique and new games like they did with ARMS instead of another MK, which would be completely redundant when MK8D sells so exceptionally well. 

I'm fine with MK9 being switch 2 in 2023 to 2024. MK8 is easily the best kart game to date, it will take time to develop something better.

Well, allow me to tell you, it's been more than six years since it first released. Maybe it's indeed time for a new one? 

It has been six years but MK8 also received some of the best DLC i have seen in gaming.

I would prefer an Odyssey 2 over MK9. I only want so many kart racing games.

Should go with a multiplayer game in an other genre and let MK rest for next gen. (except DLC)

Nonesense, how are they gonna improve on perfection?

More reliable than 8chan rumors at least.

Making Sephiroth a playable character. 

What could a new MK do more than 8D on the Switch? Switch games look basically no different than Wii U ones, so I'm assuming power wise they are close. I can't see another MK on Switch looking better, or having larger race tracks, or more detailed backgrounds for those tracks, or performing better. Really the only thing they could do would be make 16-20 new maps. But that's not a new game that's just dlc in my mind. They should save new maps and features for their next gen game, where they can really push the boundaries and have larger maps, better visuals, improved performance, and more detailed backgrounds alongside new features.

It's important to note something. Power/Graphics Jumps between generations:

NES -- SNES, small

SNES -- N64, Big

N64 -- GameCube, Big

GameCube -- Wii, small

Wii -- Wii U, big

Wii U -- Switch, small

Gameboy -- GBC, small

GBC -- GBA, big

GBA -- DS, small

DS -- 3DS, big

Other than the GameCube, they have a history of doing two generations of hardware at more or less the same level of power and visuals. Because of this history, I expect Switch 2 to be a massive leap forward and therefore, MK9 would be a much different experience there than it would be on Switch 1.

Alright, I stand corrected.
