The Wii U unfortunately underperformed sales wise, so many games have found a second life on the Nintendo Switch, as seen with Mario Kart 8: Deluxe. However, since that was already a pre-existing game simply ported to a newer system, many fans grow eager for the Switch to receive its own proper entry with Mario Kart 9 (which is not confirmed at this time).
