It appears that Nintendo deleted a user's Nintendo Network ID after a Miiverse drawing from an underage niece was detected.
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
I bet a lot of people are going to complain about this but let single mishap of someone showing someone underage a perverted drawing and people will be blaming Nintendo.
Though one thing I have to wonder about this news is how Nintendo knew the drawing was made by an underage person. Did this guy have her write "I'm an unsupervised 10 year old" in a message box?
Nintendo have to watch their backs, today it was a harmless drawing, but's not always the case, and people love lawsuits these days...
Harsh. At first I was like, "lol, dude has a perverted niece" then I find out it was a normal drawing and his account was suspended simply because his underage niece drew it?
I see where Nintendo is coming from, but wouldn't a warning email/NN message suffice? Suspending someone's account immediately because of a minor breach of conduct is a little too extreme if you ask me.
I know it's nit picking but, she created this image on HIS account not her own account so the part that reads "Today I receive an email saying that my NNID got deleted because “a children need parental consent to create an Account online” is totally crap - she never created an account as an underage child so his account should not have in theory gotten banned.
And if they are trying to say he is under age, they have no way of knowing that.
Very hokey
i've read this story earlier and im not quite sure i believe it. Like a drawing my 10 year old did.. if he didnt put those words up (and apparently the child wanted to draw it herself) how could she have been unsupervised unless she wrote those words herself which i doubt. I know im being a bit nit picky just seems so unlikely that nintendo would be so harsh in there modding when trying to appeal to a wider range. I definitely wanna try this out and see if i get banned lol
