Launched in 2014 on Wii U then in 2017 on Nintendo Switch in a Deluxe version, Mario barth 8 seems inexhaustible. The Japanese manufacturer has still not deigned to offer him a worthy successor, but that could change soon.
It's very simple, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the best-selling opus of the license with around 39 million units sold on Nintendo Switch. An unstoppable plebiscite which could necessarily be slowed down by the hypothetical arrival of a new episode. Because apart from the spin-off Mario Kart Tour on mobile and Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit, the series has not seen a real new game for many years.
It's time to pass the ninth
According to the words of analyst Dr. Serkan Toto relayed by GamesIndustry.biz, Mario Kart 9 would be “in active development” at Nintendo at this very moment. Without saying more, Toto claims that the game will opt for "a new approach". We don't know if it's about a gameplay mechanic or a more general change in the concept of the game.
Finally, Serkan Toto declares that Mario Kart 9 could be teased by Nintendo this year. Remember that it is important to be careful with the information shared by analysts who sometimes often content themselves with somewhat risky predictions.
