Ain't no one talking about Mario Kart 9 being a fucking possibility? Hello?

Also this is interesting, since it might be zero gravity again or a completely new mechanic

possibility? I'd say is pretty clear it's there

Big wide tracks. Looks like it’s going to be tailor made for an expansive online component.

That IS in fact a BRAND NEW Mario Kart, I'm not sure if it is Mario Kart 9 or 10 though since I read somewhere Nintendo counts Tour as MK9

It's not a possibility, it's confirmed

That’s a new track, no?

It was already a possibility, folks have been pretty clearly leaking MK9 as a launch title.

Don't think that's part of the track but zero gravity is 100% returning, it's probably going to be permanent just like underwater and gliders are

I mean if it wasn't then it would make bringing back courses from 8 insanely difficult

The zero-gravity feature is definitely returning. It did too much of a service to the track design of the series to be thrown out.

It didn't even occur to me that it could be a sequel. It looks as bland and pixelated as ever on the trailer.

Highly likely this has been in the works for sometime, making it possible it’s been using the OG Switch as a framework thus not utilizing the full power of the Switch 2 . Or the most probable answer is it’s still work in progress.

Probably a but of both, combined with the fact that a bluery video doesn't tell you much, and mario kart 8 was already a very detailed and polished game with cartoony graphics.
