Didn't Nintendo already demonstrate this themselves?

guitarded774012d ago

Yes, but this post let me know the update is live so I can patch mine, so it served some purpose. :D

Nevers0ft4011d ago

To Nintendo's credit I actually think they may have downplayed the speed improvement a little in their video. Pretty much everything seems a little bit snappier.

Nice one Nintendo, thanks... Now get back to making some damned games! :)

Divine4012d ago

BeZdaBest4012d ago

yea just like there did a update for the vita last week or the upcoming update for the ps3...

Divine4012d ago

Ravenor4012d ago

You're about as subtle as a car crash.

iplay1up24011d ago

I just did another Update for my PS3 last night, So your point is?

Divine4011d ago

absolutely no one is understanding what i was trying to say of-course every freaking system updates i just updated my ps3 and vita the other day. all i was trying to say was that wii u is garbage

young7yang4012d ago

I wander if it fixes framerate issues in certain launch games like batman or darksiders 2

Neonridr4011d ago

doubt it, those would be up to the developer to release game updates. A firmware update is not going to suddenly optimize poorly written code.

lilbroRx4011d ago

You can't patch a console to fix game. How a game runs depends on how the developer makes it.

Looking Ahead: The Lingering Questions About the Next Mario Kart

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.

gold_drake7d ago

there wont be a new one until the switch 2 comes out.

nintendo needs their bangers early on
