It is the most important game Nintendo can make for any Nintendo console. It\u2019s the best-selling and usually does the best job of selling any new features or improvements a new console has.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has put Nintendo in a weird position; it\u2019s the most jam-packed game in the series ever \u2013 where does it go next?
