Tour was 9. Apparently they’re working on “MKX” for switch 2, but it’s all just rumors with zero evidence.

Mortal Kombat X came out in 2015

They’re continuing the 7 ate 9 trend?

[–] spudwart@spudwart.com 2 points 1 year ago

Maybe.

But just know they're not going to make Mario Kart: Amiibo Festival then wait a generation and follow it up by Mario Kart: New Horizons, where they promise you more content, but retract that promise the instant it hits the #1 unique seller for the platform and leave it with less content than Mario Kart 8.

At some point, it's had to hit full saturation.

[–] sebinspace@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Fuck, even I bought the game, and I’ve been a simcade Forza/Gran Turismo addict for years, haven’t played MK since the N64.

It’s good. Really good.

Just after the final DLC wave?

[–] kuneho@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

they should make Mario Kart open world and marry it with Need For Speed => Mario Kart Underground.

hey, Nintendo employee who use Lemmy and read this: push this up for the big bosses around you, because man, that would be a super epic game and a worthy sequel

[–] PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Also add a subplot involving an underground crime ring stealing VCR/DVD combo units.

I think Nintendo Kart would be a nice follow-up, with stuff from all of Nintendo's IP.

[–] mostNONheinous@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

There are at least 10 non Mario characters in game aleeady.

[–] yamanii@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can we finally get F-Zero now?

[–] Marin_Rider@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

id sell my left nut for that. best racing series of all time

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

I wonder how many of those sales come from being bundled with a Switch. The report says it lacks digital sales and only makes a passing mention of the bundle

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

I didn't even know it was still up there

I just got into it again. I played through 7 and put it away. Begrudgingly bought 8 for the kids and decided it was the same game. Started playing with the wife because she was into it suddenly, just in time for the dlc.

Breaking News: Gamers surprised to hear anyone still plays Mario Kart 8

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Speak for yourself, "gamer", it's the latest Mario Kart game, obviously we're all still playing it. Have you gone back to Double Dash?

[–] PobrePerformer 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The latest one is "Mario Kart Arcade GP VR" how can you call yourself a "gamer" if you don't have four of these machines in your living room? Smh

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

I actually built my own go-kart track next to a tortoise sanctuary and a banana plantation for the true experience, casual!

Mario Kart Arcade GP VR

Does it come with a vacuum tube to collect the vomit?

[–] SpookyUnderwear@eviltoast.org 3 points 1 year ago

I am. Played pretty hardcore between 2014 - 2016. Didn't realize it was still going strong.
