Mario Kart 8 has been out for 3 years already. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was released as a definitive edition with everything supposedly included, so dragging things out further would just mess things up. Also, in the unlikely case that somebody can't get the DLC because they don't have internet or whatever, they'll be left out. Of course everybody here wouldn't mind, but still...It is its own MK game and it can truly stand out from the Wii U MK8 by adding it's own DLC. Making a separate MK game for the Switch now would be a really stupid decision, and I would not hold my breath on that happening. Seriously, I don't see why they can't just add a full game's worth of new content to the game through DLC if they want. Imagine if the creators of Rocket League decided to release a new game of content, when continuously adding new content to the game through updates has worked so well. God that would be dumb.
Mario would've actually been in Sonic and All Stars Racing Transformed if Sumo Digital didn't decide against it because of the Mario and Sonic Olympic series.Next one should be "Mario Vs Sonic: Kart Transformed", should have pilot wings, wave race, mario kart and sonic characters and tracks all in one gloriously polished package.
Seeing how Nintendo will start charging to play online there's a good chance that their morals and standards of quality might lower down a bit in order to profit more. If EA (+ Activision, Ubisoft, etc) release those sports' games every year then what's stopping Nintendo from it?

nonono, MK8D is not the Switch's Mario Kart game. it's a port. the Switch needs it's own MK as well.
But then, what's the point of a new FIFA, PES, Madden or any of those when the publisher/devs could just release DLC content for them?What would be the point of a new Mario Kart?
It's the same generation of consoles technically. People would get disappointed by the very limited changes.
A new game for the game of a new game doesn't make sense here. There's no story or anything that would justify a sequel. Hence why "porting" isn't always a bad thing.
What they have to do however is maintain their game. Add more tracks overtimes and new features.
Exactly. Logically there should only be one Fifa/Madden/etc game for each console, with each season of players being available as DLC. The only reason to make Madden 2017 a different game from Madden 2016 is so they can charge you $80 a new game vs $30 for just a DLC addon. Do you really want Nintendo to go down that route?But then, what's the point of a new FIFA, PES, Madden or any of those when the publisher/devs could just release DLC content for them?

TL;DR no, put the tracks in a new game.
no, you're insane! why would you want a new installment to be just DLC for a port?!Why in the hell can't this theoretical MK9 just be an entire game you download into MK8Deluxe? I mean who wouldn't want that and why? It'd be great to have all the MK8 features and MK9 features available in the same game. If you don't want that, you're insane. If you don't have the internet to DL new content in this day and age, I personally have no sympathy for you, and I really doubt that's a big deal for Nintendo either anymore, as the majority of their owners do indeed have internet access.
TL;DR yes, please for the love of god put the new tracks, racers, features, modes, etc into MK8 Deluxe instead of pointlessly releasing a separate game.

2) Need an internet connection otherwise your screwed
3) The online community will be divided like the DLC packs in the original MK8
Also, Fifa and Madden only have cosmetic changes and slight stat alterations, and have frequent yearly iterations. We're talking about making 16+ tracks which take a lot of damn effort, and for the most part actually significant changes to the gameplay. Double Dash, Wii, 7, and 8 all have different mechanics. Fifa is still 'pass, tackle, shoot, score'.
Wow. Read what you just said.Pretty simple solution would be to release the new content as separate expansion game totally playable on its own without the MK8Deluxe content (if for some reason you don't want all that great MK8Deluxe content) or also completely downloadable into MK8Deluxe if you already have it. That would be a fantastic solution that I think makes a lot of sense and doesn't seem unheard of for Nintendo (its kind of like what they did with New Super Luigi U, though NSLU wasn't playable on its own as far as I recall).
Wow. Read what you just said.
Basically, a new game with the same engine.
