New Mario Kart 8 News Has Fans Worried About Mario Kart 9

By Marc Deschamps

Earlier today, Nintendo revealed that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has become the best-selling entry in the history of the series. With 38.74 million copies sold, the Nintendo Switch game has finally surpassed Mario Kart Wii's 37.38 million lifetime units. It's an incredible sales figure for Nintendo, but not everyone is happy about the achievement. The game was released on Switch in 2017, but it first released on Wii U in 2014. That means Mario Kart fans haven't gotten a truly new entry in seven years. That's a pretty long time to wait, and fans are getting impatient for Mario Kart 9!

Of course, given the way Mario Kart 8 Deluxe continues to sell, it does seem a bit unlikely that we'll see a follow-up anytime soon. A new game would undoubtedly sell well for Nintendo, but there isn't a lot of incentive for the company to rush out Mario Kart 9. Following the sales announcement, many Mario Kart fans took to social media to share their disappointment about the continued wait for a new game.
