Switch hasn't had its own MK game, since MK8D is a Wii U game+DLC that got ported over.
It is a new game for the vast majority of consumers tho
A good chunk of consumers probs don't even know it's a port since they just think Deluxe is a subtitle like 64 or Advance
Do you have proof of that?
Also, not sure how "what the majority of consumers thought" plays a role here.
For what, that the vast majority it's a new game or that a good chunk of them don't know it's a port?
In supporting my argument that it is the Switch's MK
O.o
Its true that MK8D is considered new for 90% switch owners
I'd like to see sources to back up that claim
However, Nintendo EPD(mario kart team) did not release any new game since arms in 2017
So MK8 sold 28 million copies so far IIRC and it'll just continue to sell
I’d be shocked to see any other game comes from them before MK9
That's several times the amount of the Wii U version, so the majority of consumers are new
Its true that there hasn’t been 2 mario kart on one system, but the switch era is different
I think it can happen
Mind elaborating
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_Kart#Console
If we go how Wikipedia considers it, then both MK8D and MK Live: Home Circut are both Switch games.
Don't know if this makes MKL:HC basically MK9, though
No way 😂
