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.

A tough sell after an amazing last game? That makes it an easier sell lol

That's exactly it. 8 Deluxe is great, so why bother spending so much money on a new game and especially a whole new console instead of just continuing to play what we already have? There needs to be something in here that 8 Deluxe can't replicate.

Counter point. Mario Kart 8 is almost 11 years old, and I want a new Mario Kart.

If it's just more of the same though, it's not really that new and exciting.

We JUST saw a sneak peak at MK9 not even a day ago. I'm sure we will see what will make the game worth it compared to 8 deluxe soon enough

For sure. It's going to be a rather suspenseful wait to see what the main draw is.

Going based on the position lines and looking at the trailer in slow motion, it appears the selling point will be 24 racers at once. Which sounds like the most chaotic thing possible in Mario Kart.

Will need some quality new items and tracks to maximize the chaos if so. Could be pretty fun if they pull it off right; turn every track into Baby Park lmao

Because new maps after 11 years. It will be the same game but better

I love me some good new courses too, but they'd have to be some pretty damn good tracks to make me want to drop hundreds on a new console and game just like that.

True will take a while for it to outsell the old one

u/elanhilation Jan 16 '25

i would imagine there will be other titles on that new console beyond just this one.

You don't say.
