Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s continued sales dominance is bad news for Mario Kart 9 hopes

As Nintendo fans begin to ponder what the company may be revealing during E3, I often see Mario Kart 9 brought up as a possibility. I think that’s optimistic.

According to industry-tracking firm The NPD Group’s list of best-selling games in the U.S. during March, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe ranked at the No. 6 spot. That is incredible for a game that is about 4 years old. It’s more shocking when you remember that it’s a port of an even older Wii U game.
