The Verge: "I don't know which future awaits the Wii U. But until it's obvious, I'm not buying one."
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
A new list goes over eight of the the most useless amiibo, ranging from the Shadow Mewtwo card to the Qbby figure.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "10 years. It’s been almost 10 years since the last mainline release in the Mario Kart series. Mario Kart 8 came out for the Wii U in 2014 and became the best-selling game for the system by a sizeable margin, and later pulled the same magic trick on the Nintendo Switch under the stage name Deluxe. All in all, it's sold nearly 70 million copies over the last decade and is still selling like hot cakes to this day, so it’s no wonder Nintendo has been in no rush to replace it. However, with rumors of a new system being just around the corner, and reports a few years back that a new Mario Kart is indeed under way, it seems the era of 8 might very well be drawing to a close. It’s an exciting prospect to be sure, but after two Nintendo systems with Mario Kart 8 at their heart, a lot of questions remain about how Nintendo will choose to follow it up."
I hope they just keep building on Mario Kart 8; Add a track-creation tool, and probably open it up to more Nintendo IPs with new tracks and characters, so Metroid, Punch Out, Starfox, Animal Crossing, etc etc.
there wont be a new one until the switch 2 comes out.
nintendo needs their bangers early on
About what I expected of a dated system.
Stopped reading... stopped at the "japanese button layout" comment.
Also, the system DOES play games off external drives. A big factual error.
If people " wait " until developers have "figured it out"...Then also expect tons of shovelware. If developers are to believe that no one wants the console. Then third party developers will just flock away.
" Laggy interface
GamePad's use is confusing and unclear"
I'm expecting tons of os fixes in their updates.
And playing so many games, one after the other...of course it's going to be hard to get used to all the control schemes.
Not to nitpick, but the guy says 3ds was the first to have dual screens, but the original Ds was, the 3ds was the first 3d portable to use glasses free technology. Plus have of his compliments were kind of made little to no sense at all. I can't wait to get out of work and go get my Wii U!!
I hardly find console review scores worth paying attention to. Find out the basic facts of the system, then decide whether or not you think it's worth it based on what you want to get out it.
