MCV: ''UK supermarkets are ready to drop Wii U unless Nintendo can drastically turn sales around.
But specialist retailers, including market leader GAME, have vocally backed the struggling console.
Asda and Morrisons both told MCV this week that they have no plans to stock Wii U or its games in the near future – although Asda will support the machine online.''
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
The poor sales for the WiiU is disappointing, but at least Nintendo is acknowledging that this situation is their fault. This gives me hope that they will turn around the situation.
Honestly, I would much rather the WiiU take the path of the 3DS than the Wii. I don't own a WiiU right now, but after Bayonetta and X comes out and a price cut I will definitely buy a WiiU. I am not a big Mario and Zelda fan, but those are good games that I will want to play.
Why bother? Let it die.
Nintendo will not allow Wii U die....
Nintendo have a stubborness being the Grand Daddy of the industry...
and you know what?, actually, for once I am happy for the stubborness, especially if it prolongs the console life for those already and/or yet to be invested in it.
Long Live Nintendo...Gaming Heritage!
Maybe Wii U will come back to life with Zombie U bundle.lol
I honestly think the wii u has been dead for sometime, first of all Nintendo should have waited until they had better games than the ones they launched with. I purchased my wii u with the launch titles, and now it just sits there collecting all the dust in my house! I mean sure they have time to improve with updates and new and better titles! Actually NO, with the superior entertainment system Microsoft is bringing this waiting world known as the "One" Nintendo has NO chance of redeeming itself. It might as well only compete against Microsoft's INFERIOR rival Sony as the Wii U will never be able to compete against the the winner of this generation's console wars, the almighty Xbox One. I have to see all of you online fighting the best fight we will experience thought Microsoft XBox One Home ENTERTAINMENT terminal
