Why does everybody seem to think that the Switch will have a guaranteed Mario Kart. What if Nintendo's feeling lazy to the point that they just stick with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe 'til the next console?
What if that was why they ported the game in the first place.
@Mortenb I absolutely love most things about this game.
(Although this is highly unlikely) I would like to see an improved version of this game on the Switch or an upcoming console for N64 fans.
I'm not asking for improved graphics, since I like the classic style.
What I would like to see is this: -New items that we've seen in later MK releases -No rubber banding AI. Instead have computer players that work like a normal human player, driving at a normal rate, actually firing shells, etc. -A single player VS mode. New adjustable settings in VS mode, such as items, or CPU difficulty -Most importantly – it must have all the online features that at LEAST MK7 has. This would make it an ultimate competitive fun online Mario Kart game, where you can play in communities like they're parties, or you can race online with friends specifically, or just VS random people online. Battle mode should still only allow four people in one game, but that can also have online mode
So if they made a new and improved version, that's everything they absolutely need to add.
But another feature I would quite like to see is Retro Tracks. Since a re-release of this game would make it the latest in the series, it could include courses from any games we've seen so far.
It would be awesome to witness new courses in the N64 style, for a wider Mario Kart 64 experience.
Lastly, I would actually like it if they kept all glitches in the game (whether you agree or not) so the courses play like the originals. However, I think all glitches should be patched for any online racing.
If this game was made, it would EASILY instantly be my favourite Mario kart of all time.
@Yellowtails (I know this is very late) Basically the way Nintendo is headed, Mario Kart 9 will be called Nintendo All-Stars Racing…
@nintendonerd147 (Also very late) You don't have to use bikes if you don't want to. I honestly thought they just added more variety to the game (along with stunts and wheelies, that added more need for skill in the game). It was your choice whether you chose the bikes or not in game, so it really has either a positive effect, or no effect on the game.
Also, Rosalina is one of the only developed Mario characters. I don't know why you hate her so much, but I can tell you for sure there are much worse characters (E.g. Clones like Tanooki Mario in Mario Kart 8)

@Caryslan "a brand new Mario Kart"

Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
I haven't got the Wii U DLC so I might as well just buy Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for a whole new experience.
Re: Yoshi's Woolly World
I find very little replay value in this game, sadly.

@Simon_Deku Thanks for insulting my childhood.
Re: Mario Kart 64
@Seacliff You haven't got this game?!! Wow, you're missing out. (Although it kinda depends on if you like old games…)

↑ This is rather odd.
The person above me posted very recently, whereas everybody else posted YEARS ago…
