The Nintendo Switch 2, while still shrouded in mystery, is generating significant buzz online. Recent leaks suggest that the console could launch alongside a brand new Mario Kart title, potentially Mario Kart 9. While Nintendo remains tight-lipped, the rumors are gaining traction, especially given the source of the leak.
This latest information comes from an anonymous leaker known as Average Lucia Fanatic, who has previously accurately leaked details about the PS5 Pro and the Nintendo Alarmo. This track record lends some credibility to their claims.
According to the leaker, the Nintendo Switch 2 is targeting a March 3, 2025 release date, mirroring the launch date of the original Nintendo Switch. More interestingly, they claim that Mario Kart 9 will be a launch title, unlike Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which arrived a month later. This would make Mario Kart 9 a major selling point for the new console.
Other rumored launch titles include Red Dead Redemption. Some speculation suggested a new 3D Mario game would be the flagship launch title, with Mario Kart 9 following later. However, this leak suggests the opposite.
It’s important to remember that this information is unofficial and should be treated as rumor. While Average Lucia Fanatic has a history of accurate leaks, their reliability isn’t fully established.
As of now, Nintendo has not commented on these rumors, and given their typical silence on leaks, a response is unlikely. However, if any official information emerges, we will update accordingly.
