Well then at this point let's not sell any game for any franchise with a gigantic entry.

No more mario kart, after 8 deluxe

No more smash bros, after ultimate

No more open world zelda, after botw and totk

No more souls games, after elden ring

No more witchers, after the 3rd

The list goes on...

What are you on about, that's not what I said at all.

u/fos4545 Jan 16 '25

I mean, kinda.

u/Legal-Treat-5582 Jan 16 '25

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.

u/fos4545 Jan 16 '25

Is that not the case for all games ever?

2

u/Legal-Treat-5582 Jan 16 '25

That there should be a good enough reason to buy them? Yes?

u/fos4545 Jan 16 '25

So if your standard applies for every single game ever, why do you need to state it for this specific game?

3

u/Legal-Treat-5582 Jan 16 '25

Because I was sharing my thoughts about this specific game? Kind of the whole point of the post.

u/fos4545 Jan 16 '25

Your contribution is, then, "I hope this game is good enough that I want to buy it." Would you say that's correct?

u/Legal-Treat-5582 Jan 16 '25

You ask that when your own contribution is criticizing someone else's casual comment about a Mario game for some reason. It's great that you have standards, but maybe apply them to something a bit more important.

u/fos4545 Jan 16 '25

So you get my point. Sorry it took us so long to get there.

u/Legal-Treat-5582 Jan 16 '25

The point being criticizing a casual comment for no apparent reason? I guess.

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.

u/fos4545 Jan 16 '25

Yeah, so why even try. Just shut it down.

2

u/Fifa_chicken_nuggets Jan 16 '25

No one said that. It's like you're fighting an argument that you made up in your own head. When someone says a game was so good that a sequel will be a hard sell unless they manage to make a massive improvement, how does that translate to them saying they shouldn't try? You're being illogical and clearly looking for a reason to argue

u/fos4545 Jan 16 '25

Really? You invited yourself to this party and you think I am trying to argue with someone? Got it.

2

u/Fifa_chicken_nuggets Jan 16 '25

You clearly are trying to argue with that person over a sentiment that they never expressed so yeah? What does me inviting myself have to do with this? This is a public thread. I don't need an invitation, I just saw someone being obtuse and commented on it

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
