Will it be a launch title for the next console?
Throughout last week, expectations were very high after the announcement of the Nintendo Direct, since Mario Kart 9 was expected to be one of the great protagonists, this being something that was ultimately not fulfilled. Nevertheless, we do not run out of our ration of mario Kart.
And it is that, against all odds after almost five years had passed since its launch, an expansion pass was announced that would bring 48 tracks, which means twice as many as are already present, so they would practically be selling us an entire game. However, it should be noted that these tracks are remastered from previous titles.
Be that as it may, the truth is that the ad has been gladly accepted, especially after a method has been made public to be able to play these circuits even without having them, although in a limited way. However, that does not mean that many are still waiting for Mario Kart 9which might not be a wish that falls in vain.
Mario Kart 9 would already be in development
It should be noted that this information comes from Zippo, an insider who it fails more than a fairground shotgun, so this information should be taken with a grain of salt. Be that as it may, this user claims that the expansion pass of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe would be being developed entirely by Bandai Namcoleaving Nintendo free to develop Mario Kart 9.
It should be noted that Bandai Namco has already had a relationship with the saga, not only because of the arcade titles in which Mario shares the screen with Pac-Man, but also is the studio in charge of the circuits in Mario Kart Tour.
On the other hand, it is not surprising that Nintendo was already making Mario Kart 9, since being the saga that it is, currently with the eighth installment remastered it has more than 43 million units sold, so Nintendo will want to have a new installment ready perhaps for the successor to Nintendo Switch. Of course, at least it seems that we will have to wait until the end of 2023 to find out more.
For the rest, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is available exclusively for Nintendo Switch.
