Hm, Mario Kart 9 seems to look pretty similar to MK8. I had hoped for a new art direction / style.

I made this FOSS template for easy reuse.

def describe_nintendo_creativity(nintendo_game_name, new_version_number):
    print(
        f"Hm, {nintendo_game_name} {new_version_number} seems to look pretty similar " 
        f"to {nintendo_game_name} {new_version_number - 1}."
    )

describe_nintendo_creativity("Mario Kart", 9)

Did it even say it was MK9?

It’s doesn’t say Mario Kart 9 but that does look like new character models to me. I’m expecting them to drop the numbering system and go back to subtitles anyway though.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

No, but it wasn't footage from Mario Kart 8.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Even if it didn't, so you really think that Nintendo won't make Mario cart 9?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

A thing I just thought of is that it'd be super cool if - by using the joy con as a mouse - they had a track creator mode where you could share custom tracks.
