Gran Turismo 7, Horizon 2, Spiderman 2 were all supposed to sell the PS5 but they all went cross gen to make more sales. Now that its backwards compatible, Nintendo is not going to skip the almost most sold console ever crowd when they can make a ton of cash. You can bet your ass N is going to follow Sony and MS with cross gen titles until some time. The bar is so low as to what is allowed to be put on Switch 1, they have no problem putting out games in potato mode just to sell it there. Look at MK1. So new Mario Kart they will make all the sacrifices and sell it there because theres idiots that will buy any crap N puts out.

Wii U was BC with Wii, which was massively successful. Why didn't Wii get Wii U games? Why didn't Wii get New Super Mario Bros U at launch? Didn't they want that install base of Wii for more sales of a basic ass Super Mario game?

Sony doing something is not proof big N will do the same thing.

Wii U was a projected flop before it was even released when the public didnt even know what to make of it. They needed every person to switch to Wii U fast. Also Twilight Princess a brand new Zelda came out for both Wii and Wii U. They milked Mario Kart 8 for 10 years, you can bet MK9 is going to be on both Switches.

Someone should make a thread poll about this being cross-gen or not. I’d vote ‘no’, can’t see the framerate holding up with 24 racers. But maybe they’d be willing to release it at sub 30fps on Switch (or maybe they’ve got it to work at 60fps somehow).

Id be really surprised if this is cross gen. Nintendo don’t do that.

It’d be disappointing for sure. But I mean, Nintendo doesn’t name their systems with just “2/3/4” either, yet here we are.

There’s a first for everything.
