A year from now we might be reminiscing about the practiced old days of Mario Kart when you only had to care about 11 other drivers raise those unripened shells at you .
Because , while theNintendo Switch 2reveal focused almost alone on giving us a tour of the ironware , we on the face of it got a look at thenext Mario Kart secret plan – the 9th in the official canon .
give Nintendo is n’t contrive on showcasing games until the rumour April 2 Direct current , those few second of gameplay are pass to have to tide us over for 10 weeks !
Everyone ’s been searching for clues andIGNnoticed that there were a grand total of 24 office on the start grid . count there ’s always been 12 in previous games , this could be a recipe for the chaotic action to be further ramped up .
As the site orient out , this does n’t confirm the amount of contender is going to double , but those cute few second of gameplay do tell us that 14 racers do come out at sealed point in time . Interesting . This might be a way for Mario Kart 9 to tell itself from the previous games in the serial publication .
The last time Nintendo unblock a new mainline Mario plot was Mario Kart 8 for the Wii U in 2014 . That eventually becameMario Kart 8 : Deluxefor the Switch .
The central new feature that time were anti - gravity racing , which allowed you to scale wall and ceilings , ATVs added to the fomite line ups , and Koopalings becoming playable character . Our favourite novel artillery was the Piranha Plant , which made a dive for anyone in your vicinity .
There ’s sure to be a host of new feature beyond the addition of more drivers . We ’re already enumerate down to April 2 .
Opinion
The Switch 2 reveal told us very little we did n’t already suspect . It did n’t finger like it was the event we crave as technical school enthusiasts . Indeed , the presence of a new Mario Kart game was bigger news and more exciting than the hardware . Perhaps its ok that the computer hardware looks like a boring upgrade ? Because , with Nintendo , it ’s always about the games and quite often about Mario plot .
