Nintendo NX: 10 Essential Video Games That Must Be Launch Titles
2. Mario Kart 9
The Mario Kart franchise is a jewel in Nintendo's crown, being a consistent success both critically and commercially.
Going by the series' usual development cycle of a new title every 3-4 years, MK9 landing next March would be perfect timing, and honestly, apart from Zelda, is there any launch title that could be more of a no-brainer?
It'll be interesting to see how the NX's top secret tech reinvigorates the series, because despite Nintendo's frequent criticism that they just rehash their top-tier franchises, they've largely done a bang-up job of introducing fun new mechanics to each new MK installment. At worst, it'll be a fun racer, so what's not to like?
If this isn't available for launch, Nintendo are leaving a lot of money on the table.
