No matter how good or innovative a game system may be, if there are no good games available, there’s no way it can sell nicely. The Wii U sales situation has been pretty bad almost everywhere but things are starting to change rapidly, at least in Europe: yesterday it’s been reported that the console sales have increased by 125% last week in the United Kingdom. Today a new report came in from Nintendo France, stating that sales have improved in France as well.
Nintendo France’s Philippe Lavoue confirmed in a recent interview that the system’s sales tripled the week of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate release: Lavoue notes how games like MH3 will help accelerate the Wii U’s sales. Things will definitely be even better once some original games will get released in the future: let’s not forget that MH3: Ultimate is an updated version of a game released a couple of years back.
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
With the server shutdown for Nintendo Wii U and 3DS, TSA say goodbye to the small communities and remember the times spent online with these consoles.
Thanks to the modding scene... people can still take their 3ds/WiiU online.

All it needs is awesome games and Monster Hunter is just that, an awesome game.
It's almost like people buy systems when there are good games for them.
I've been semi interested in Monster Hunter but it is one of those games that needs to figure out a better way to title their games. I had played a monster hunter game on the PSP and I think it was called "Monster Hunter Freedom", or "Monster Hunter Freedom Unite". But there was a different one called "Monster hunter Freedom 2" So I thought this one just came out so it must be the third. Then years later I find a "Monster hunter Tri" coming out on the wii and I was wondering if that was just a better quality of the psp game that I played because it was the 3rd one after all.
I gradually came to the understanding the one I played must have been the 2nd because they released a "Monster Hunter 3rd" followed by "Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate".
Long story short... I bought my cat one of those rice hats instead.
