According to new rumors, the announcement of Mario Kart 9, the highly anticipated new game in the series, could arrive at any moment. Not only that, apparently this title could contain various characters from various franchises Nintendo, such as Pikmin and Star Fox. Let’s see in detail all the information available to us.
Mario Kart 9: upcoming announcement?
The well-known insider spread the news Zippo, who also listed several details the production should have once it hits the shelves. Specifically, the leaker explained that the game will have a series of single player content and alternative costumes for each character in the game; on the title of the game instead there seems to be an open dispute.
In fact, it seems that Nintendo does not agree internally regarding the numbering of the various incarnations of the franchise, so the upcoming game could be called Mario Kart 9 or Mario Kart 10, depending on which games will be considered as main chapters. The possibility of titling it Mario Kart Crossroads would also have emerged, but the latter appears more unlikely.
This year is the 30th anniversary of the Mario Kart series, therefore the announcement of the new game would fall short. Super Mario Kart on SNES was launched way back in 1992 and although at the moment it seems likely that Nintendo wants to celebrate the occasion with a big announcement, it must be said that the company has no great precedents in this regard.
Mario’s 35th anniversary, for example, was celebrated in various ways, but the birthdays of Donkey Kong e Zelda they were hardly mentioned from the Kyoto house. In short, for the moment it is too early to expose ourselves to a big announcement coming soon, so we invite you to take this rumor with a grain of salt.
