Recent reports suggest a blockbuster launch for the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2, with Mario Kart 9 potentially taking center stage on March 3, 2025. This purported release date, mirroring the original Switch's launch, positions the racing title ahead of a previously rumored new 3D Mario game.
The leak, originating from a source known as Average Lucia Fanatic (who has a track record of accurate predictions regarding the PS5 Pro and Nintendo Alarmo), claims Mario Kart 9 will be a key launch title alongside other major releases like Red Dead Redemption 2. This contradicts earlier speculation that a new 3D Mario title would lead the Switch 2 lineup. The timing is particularly interesting, following the online unveiling of a new Switch 2 accessory – a Joy-Con steering wheel.
This potential launch strategy is a smart move by Nintendo. The Mario Kart franchise consistently delivers strong sales, with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe becoming a best-seller. A new installment could drive early Switch 2 adoption and solidify its market position.
Beyond Karting: A Fusion of Franchises?
Speculation further suggests Mario Kart 9 might incorporate elements from the F-Zero series, creating a unique racing experience that appeals to fans of both franchises. While Nintendo remains tight-lipped, the lack of concrete information about Switch 2 launch titles adds intrigue to this Mario Kart 9 rumor.
The potential simultaneous release of the console and Mario Kart 9 could prove pivotal. While official confirmation is pending, the March 3rd date has generated significant buzz. With a potential Switch 2 reveal expected this month, the gaming community eagerly awaits Nintendo's official response. The coming weeks may bring clarity on whether Mario Kart 9 will indeed be the Switch 2's flagship launch title.
