When Nintendo first unveiled the Switch 2 via a short teaser video in January, it felt the need to include a few seconds of footage of exactly one new video game running on the console: a new Mario Kart. This will be, numerically speaking, the ninth one, but it's very possible Nintendo calls it something other than Mario Kart 9.

The Mario-maker offered a sneak peek of its highly anticipated new console in January after a series of leaks, but the official detailed unveiling is set to take place Wednesday.

Nintendo Direct is going to be the can’t-miss showcase of the season, but I'm just ready for the rumors to finally relent.
