Two years' worth of DLC for a game that's already five years old doesn't bode well for Mario Kart 9.
During February’s Nintendo Direct, Nintendo announced that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe will be getting 48 new courses as paid DLC. All of the tracks are remastered courses from previous Mario Kart titles, from Super Mario Kart to the recent Mario Kart Tour, and will be released in six packs of eight. The first pack will arrive on March 18, and the rest of them will be added periodically through the end of 2023.
During its tenure on the Switch, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has perpetually been the console’s best-selling game. Late last year, it passed the extremely popular Mario Kart Wii in sales. This is the first major content update for Deluxe since its launch, so those who’d already played Mario Kart 8 have been stuck with the same courses they’d been playing for years.
Say that the Switch has two years left in it once Mario Kart 8′s DLC ends. Why would Nintendo launch one of its biggest, most long-term games in that window? It’s more likely that it would be held as a launch title for whatever Nintendo’s next-generation console is.
