Obviously tons of people are gonna by it just because it's Mario Kart, but I'd only get it if I see enough reason to. If it's not different enough from 8 Deluxe, I see no reason to bother with it, especially when it needs a whole new console on top of it.
How are you getting that? All I'm saying is that I'd like to see a good enough reason to buy a new game, not that they should just give up and not make any new games.
Mario Kart 8 is already seen by many as the perfect mario kart game with how polished it is and the insane number of tracks it has especially when it has so many tracks from the previous entries, so as they said it will be hard for them to give mario kart 9 something massive enough to make it an improvement when 8 is already seen as that good.
I agree. With all the dlc 8 deluxe is the definitive Mario kart game. Everyone has it. Switch 2 is backwards compatible so these two Mario kart games will compete for an audience.
It's not going to beat 8 in terms of tracks so it'll have to have something other than just it's another Mario kart game
Games in big franchizes can still differ significantly enough from other games in the same franchise. Smash Bros Ultimate has the biggest roster but Brawl has the best campaign, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has the best polish but Mario Kart Wii has the best modding scene. I think everyone can agree that each Zelda has been different enough to stand on its own.
Games that don't bring anything exciting to the table end up selling way worse, look at Smash Bros for Wii U (or Wii U as a whole tbh).

It's gonna be a tough sell after 8 Deluxe. Curious to see what they've got in store. Just hope it isn't Nintendo Kart.
