Mario Kart 9 hasn’t been announced for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite yet, and Nintendo hasn’t even hinted at their existence. However, according to a plethora of rumors, it is in development for Switch, Switch Lite and possibly the Super Nintendo Switch. And according to a new rumor, it’s coming out sooner than some might think. In other words, if the rumor is true, the turnaround from reveal to release will be quite small, especially when compared to other Nintendo games like The legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 Bayonetta 3, and Metroid Prime 4
According to the new rumor coming the way of a ‘verified insider’ on Reset Era, Mario Kart 9 – or whatever the next mainline episode is called – is not only in development, but is expected to be released sometime late this year.
Unfortunately, the insider doesn’t reveal additional or more specific details about the game or its release, but it sounds like Nintendo is aiming to release it during the holiday season, that is, sometime between October and December.
Not only are details light here, but what’s here needs to be taken with a large grain of salt. While this echoes previous rumors and reports, it is still all unofficial and subject to change.
Nintendo did not comment in any way at the time of publication Mario Kart 9 rumor so far, and at this point it’s hard to imagine that would change for this particular rumor. If so, we will be sure to update the article with what’s included, salient or not.
