About Mario Kart 9, Coming to the Nintendo Switch or the Succ
- Thread starter Tbone5189

Switch for obvious reasons.
1. Every console tends to get their new iteration
2. Mario kart 8 is 6 years old
3. A port is still the same game
4. Now is the time where they can benefit from a big user base, important factor to consider here.
5. Get those that didn't bought the port because they already played 8 on the Wii U.
We will get mario kart 9 or Nintendo kart on the switch.

I would love nothing more than for Mario Kart 9 to release on Switch but I have a feeling it's not going to, since MK8D is STILL fucking selling on Switch. So, the Succ it is.
Pie charts are like any art. Anyone can make a bad one. But to approach the mastery required to produce the kind of pie chart you are referencing, it takes many, many years.
From the OP, I'm going with option B. MK8D has ridiculous legs and could possibly overtake MK Wii as the best selling game in the series when all is said and done.
The Switch is enjoying incredible success right now after the release of Animal Crossing and has showed no sign of slowing down. I really don't think Switch is getting the typical 5 year Nintendo lifecycle.
Waiting a decade or more between 8 and 9 is going to suck though.

It would be nice to have a Mario Kart on Switch.
Already have MK8 with DLC on Wii U and can't bring myself to buy basically the same thing on Switch.
Give me a MK9 with a single player mode matching or above MKDS and I would be so happy.
Not really expecting it to happen but it has been 6 years since MK8 came out so it feels far overdue for me at least.

Nintendo being Nintendo, it's gonna be the succ. It's one of my biggest complaints for the Switch (and one I predicted during the WiiU's release). It was very predictable that the WiiU's library was gonna be ported to the Switch before they invested in proper new AAA releases. There's exceptions, but honestly there's only a few of them. As someone who's long since played the WiiU's (underrated) library of games, I'm just kinda waiting for them to finally start making new games. There's enough to keep me occupied of course, but as far a software output goes, Nintendo's never been worse imo. (Maybe I should have posted this in the controversial opinions thread).

Agreed, MK8D will still sell too. Hell it could be the bundled game for ref of NSW life and not need a price cut.
I think so, MK9 if it really is a jump from MK8D.
Can we remember this pls? Or whenever we talk about NSW2 xD
That's one way of looking at it. But imagaine NSW has a long life cycle. And by end of 2021 the game sells 35mil. Let's look at 2 options...
1) MK9 doesn't come: MK8D goes on to sell 50mil. An extra 15mil if no bundles came out.... [Revenue: $900mil]
2) MK9 comes out: MK8D legs get cut and does 5mil extra [Revenue: 300mil] and MK9 sells 25mil [Revenue: $1.5Bil] Total $1.8Bil
Add in dlc made for MK9 and more hardware being sold ;) It's also much safer option since NSW is a
i agree. If the Succ comes out in 2022 or even 2023 then no point for MK9 imo

If they did dlc it would be fine. They can get away with 4 cups (16tracks) and a few more characters and it would make a ton of money and make MK8D happy for awhile while waiting for the
Another one! AmazingLaunch Title confirmed, the long awaited sequel to this gem:
Thank God. I was frantically scrolling the thread hoping to see the man that invented the Succ's catchphrase.
It's indicative of Nintendo's move away from the handholding and low difficulty. No longer can you button mash x x x, y y y in peace. For you will be Succ'd.

It all comes down to when the Succ ™is coming. Or if Nintendo saw the Switch's success and put it on hold.
If it comes later than 2024 I think a new Mario Kart on the Switch is happening. I think that Nintendo will have to make a "rerelease" event to give the hardware new life if they want to make it last really longer.
MK8DX will sell forever but the Switch won't. A new Mario Kart is their secret card to just make the Switch sell for like 3 more years once things slow down.
It might as well be a cross gen title, if they transition to The Succ in a more smooth way rather than just killing the Switch.

I still can't believe that this is so much of a discussion point.
Yes, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is an enhanced port, but why does this matter? It is selling like a new entry in the series! Why split up the sales? Just save the next Mario Kart for the Succ!
And no, it's not an option to release it first on the Switch and later as a Deluxe edition on the Succ, because the latter will probably be backwards compatible. The team should make another game for the Switch and than have Mario Kart 9 ready for the launch or launch window of the Succ. That's the most reasonably and financially sound approach.

Agreed on point 1.
Point 2, there doesn't seem to be that problem with IPs in Smash Bros.
MK9 will be the big cross gen launch game. Basically Switch 2's Breath of the Wild. March 2022.
Smash is the outlier. Usually EPD games that have crossovers like that are limited to EPD characters (plus Kirby).
Fire Emblem probably wouldn't get any reps, in all likelihood.

NSW2 ain't coming in March 2022... that's like less than 2 years away O.o
I don't know. Fire Emblem works a lot like Kirby. the companies that co-own them heavily leverage their co-ownership for merchandising opportunities. which means they'll want the brand front and center as much as possible. Nintendo isn't gonna say no if Intelligent Systems desired it
Tell that to the lack of any Fire Emblem anything in WarioWare on 3DS (the Amiibo content only works with EPD & Kirby characters), the Switch icons (EPD & Kirby), Mario Kart (hell, it got Sonic, Mega Man, & Pac-Man costumes before anything Fire Emblem, Pokémon, or Xenoblade), & a couple of others I may be forgetting. I wouldn't be surprised if Kirby often being the exception is out of respect for Iwata's legacy (he was originally a developer for HAL).
Let Mercedees drive a Mercedes, and everything's good.
Fire Emblem actually was in WarioWare Gold. There was a Fire Emblem Awakening micro game.
Though IS developed that game, so there were no hurdles to do that. Don't know about the Amiibo though.
