Mario Kart World isn’t Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s replacement – here’s why
Nintendo has updated Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with new features, including 8-player split-screen and faster load times on the Nintendo Switch 2, rather than replacing it with Mario Kart World. This indicates Nintendo's strategy to have new entries coexist with evergreen titles like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which has sold over 70 million copies. Mario Kart World offers a different experience with improved art style and controls, suggesting a future where major franchises will have multiple distinct titles available.
