As quickly as the Wii waggled its way to the top of the gaming industry, the Wii U - Nintendo's much anticipated and initially well-received follow-up - has led the company's fortunes to a resounding whimper.
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
Who cares the wii is shit simples.
This article blows. I wanted to read it and see what this guy had to say but most of it is stupid. Complaining about switching controls in New Super Mario Bros. U and upcoming Pikmin 3.... Wha? Is that a big problem? Is it even a problem?
The Wii U has two big problems. It doesn't have those killer games yet and people's confusion about it being a peripheral instead of a new console.
To fix these problems they have to release some bamf games and end confusion with some better marketing.
What an idiot. Some of these fixes have already happened. How can you be so misinformed about something and then write a news article about it. He sounds so ignorant about the wii u. "Slower loading times than last gen"? Really?I can power on my Wii U an be in a match online in blackops 2 in less than a minute and a half from boot.
