News Mario Kart Tour ending new content updates starting October 2023

I’d be surprised if the next Mario Kart is numbered at all, but I’m guessing Tour is considered “9” by them. It’s a lot closer to the console games than FE Heroes or Pikmin Bloom.

Nintendo seems to like numbering tho, (pikmin 1-4, bringing the numbering back to Luigi mansion in NA, introducing numbering to mario kart with 7 then 8). Whatever internal numbering they use is going to matter little for its customer facing identity.

nah, Tour has been canonized by the Booster Course Pass. next Mario Kart is definitely going to be considered 10

They'll make sure to have the double meaning of Mario Kart X when they put a marketing focus on crossover content.

I'm not expecting Mario Kart 10 to have 10 in the name. time to go back to "fun" titles

We're clearly getting Mario Kart Tour 2 for Switch 2.
