Mario, one of the most established series of the Nintendo brand, has appeared with many different types of games with the release of the new generation consoles. The Japanese company, which has recently achieved sales of millions of units, especially with the Mario Kart series, is preparing to announce Mario Kart 9, the last game of the series, in the very near future.
Mario Kart 9 may be available by the end of 2022
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which was offered with more content, achieved great success for Nintendo, but with the end of new content added to the game, it seems like it’s time for a sequel. According to a games industry advisor, Mario Kart 9 is under construction and it’s set to be the most innovative in the series to date.
Speaking to GamesIndustry, Kantan Games consultant Serkan Toto made several predictions for 2022, but one of them seems to be insider information rather than prediction. Toto said Mario Kart 9 is currently in development and acknowledged that Mario Kart as a brand has entered a quieter process than it has ever been since the mobile-only Mario Kart Tour launched a few years ago.
Stating that he is aware that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is still selling very well on Nintendo Switch, Toto said that he is certain that Mario Kart 9 will be announced this year and that after Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which managed to sell approximately 39 million units, both Nintendo Switch announced that it expects it to be available for sale for both Wii U platforms.
If it doesn’t come as a big surprise, Nintendo is expected to announce the new Mario production in the first half of this year and release it at the end of the year. So what do you guys think about this issue? Do not forget to share your views with us in the comments section.
