GameZone writes, "My wife doesn't really play video games. She had an episode with Spyro when she was younger that she doesn't like to talk about, like a relationship that ended badly where she did some things she's not proud of. And then there was the Animal Crossing phase on the GameCube, where she didn't play for two weeks and when she went back into the game, all of her neighbors were mad at her. That stressed her out quite a bit. So I guess the reason she avoids video games is that she can't disconnect herself and feels bad if something bad happens. That was until I bought a Wii U."
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
What a good read, I'm recently discovering Nintendo again after a long while too, I plan to buy a Wii U soon, probably January. (hopefully some good sale bundles will appear)
Skylanders on the wiiU is a blast with my son who is 4 1/2. First game that i really enjoy playing with him. easy but still not too easy on him.
Nintendo has done a great job appealing to kids and females who may be too intimidated with the complex controls of the Xbox 360 and PS3. Glad you and your wife can share an interest in gaming together!
I am really enjoying the WiiU too and my other half is liking it as well.
The new MarioU is a lot of fun and imo back to the good old Mario days.
ZombieU is imo the best horror game ive played for a few years and it looks amazing too.
I really do think Nintendo could grab a lot of the core market with the WiiU and if they do then MS and Sony will have some work to do next gen.
Wiiu aimed for families not hardcore gamers.
