Reliable rumor reveals Mario Kart 9 will launch on the same day as Nintendo Switch 2

 

In the current news cycle, nothing is hotter than Nintendo's news. Right now, if you are in Japan and go to the Nintendo headquarters, you will see people sneaking around or peeking into the company with cameras, waiting to see if there are any leaks or rumors about the Nintendo Switch 2. (This is an exaggeration.) For those who follow the news, the Nintendo Switch 2 is so popular that there is Nintendo news coming out every hour. Many people have said that this year might be an unlucky year for Nintendo. It is recommended to close the company for a day and invite monks to make merit and invite employees to sprinkle holy water to resolve the bad luck. (Readers might complain that they only see nonsense in the news.) Let's get to the real news. According to reliable information, Nintendo is currently developing Mario Kart 9 to be released on the same day as the Nintendo Switch 2.

The leak comes from tipster Average Lucia Fanatic, who is known for his insanely accurate leaks. He's previously leaked everything from a PS5 Pro to the release of the Nintendo Alarmo. Now, Average Lucia Fanatic is saying that the Nintendo Switch 2 and Mario Kart 9 will both be released on March 3, 2025, with Mario Kart 9 set to launch on March 3, 2025. The rumor also suggests that Mario Kart 9 could incorporate elements of F-Zero, and that Red Dead Redemption 2 will also be released on that day.

As we all know, the Mario Kart series hasn't released a new version for over 10 years (Mario Kart 8 was released on May 29, 2014). From the Nintendo WiiU to the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo didn't seem to care and just didn't want to make a new version. They just added the word Deluxe to the end of the game, along with new characters and the original maps from the old games, and it sold like hotcakes. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is one of Nintendo's top-selling games. And when it's selling so well that it's like it's being given away for free, why would Nintendo make a new version to compete for its own market share? This rumor might be groundless.

But we must not forget that every time Nintendo releases a new console, there is usually an AAAA-grade game to stimulate sales of the console. The arrival of Mario Kart 9 is therefore possible (keep an eye out) because judging from the game's long hiatus from its next installment, and its being Nintendo's AAAA dread game, this rumor is possible. All that remains is to wait and see what form Mario Kart 9 will take and whether it will be available on the original Nintendo Switch. This is very exciting. If there is any interesting news, we will report it again.
