Rumors About of Release Date of Mario Kart 9:
Everybody knows that the 9th installment of Mario Kart will be released on Nintendo’s popular gaming console named “Nintendo Switch”. Also, there is a specific time we have about it and that is the 3rd quarter of 2021. But the date is already gone. So, what about the release?
Maybe Nintendo is doing their job to release this upcoming master blaster game in their latest gaming console “Nintendo Switch Pro”. Now it’s obvious, Mario Kart has become their flagship series and Nintendo will do their best with it. Maybe this decision will boost the console sale.
At E3, 2021, Nintendo comes with a direct presentation. Every fan of Mario Kart was looking at this presentation to know something about the 9th installment of Mario Kart. Nintendo didn’t reveal anything about it.
They unveiled Metroid Prime 4, the second trailer for their Breath of the Wild sequel, Mario Gold: Super Rush, and more.
Nintendo didn’t reveal anything about “Nintendo Switch Pro” but Switch Pro will come. That means there is a connection between this console and Mario Kart 9. It’s a speculation that everyone accepts.
Another clue is guiding us to think about such things and that is, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Because it was revealed with the Original Switch in 2017. Who knows, they may be thinking the same thing for Switch Pro.
What’s New in 9th Installment of Mario Kart?
Mario Kart is the only part of the Mario series with a large cast of playable characters. Nintendo always comes with different marketing strategies for the Mario Kart series. This time we are expecting the 9th installment of this series will come with a growing cast to an unprecedented size.
After the huge success of “Super Smash Bros.”, there is a chance to see the most popular characters of this game jump into their go-karts. We’ll love to see pesky little Toads.
Some strong sources indicate that Nintendo is going to add a “Tackle” option where the player can tackle other racers. If it happens then it will be the most surprising but lovely feature in this game.
