Rumor: Mario Kart 9 to Launch With Nintendo Switch 2 on March 3, 2025
Excitement is building among Nintendo fans after a new report claims that Mario Kart 9 will be a major launch title for the Nintendo Switch 2, set to release on March 3, 2025. This leak comes from a source known as Average Lucia Fanatic, who has a growing track record of accurate information, including the PS5 Pro and Nintendo Alarmo details.
The simultaneous release of the Switch 2 and Mario Kart 9 echoes the March 3, 2017, launch of the original Switch. Fans were initially expecting a 3D Mario game to lead the launch lineup, but this report suggests that Nintendo intends to place Mario Kart 9 at the forefront.
The report also teases innovative new gameplay features, such as F-Zero-inspired mechanics, and mentions a new Switch 2 accessory designed to turn the Joy-Con into a steering wheel for an immersive experience.
If true, launching with Mario Kart 9 could ensure a strong start for the Switch 2, leveraging the franchise’s massive popularity. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe remains one of the best-selling games of all time, and Nintendo likely aims to replicate its success.
As Nintendo has not officially confirmed the Switch 2 or its launch titles, these rumors remain unverified. However, with increasing speculation that the Switch 2 will be revealed soon, fans might not have to wait long for answers.
