Is it ever a wonder that EA has strayed away from the newest Nintendo console? How does that hurt the current sport game market on the Nintendo Wii U?
Greg Bargas questions the impact of EA not supporting sport titles on the Nintendo Wii U.
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.

Activision has Skylanders, hence an interest in WiiU
Ubisoft has Just dance and Rayman, hence an interest in WiiU
EA has no franchise that does really well on the Nintendo platforms. Hence they have little interest.
Lol i remember when they came up on stage and said they had an "unprescedented partnership" with nintendo or some BS back in e3 2012.
It's funny how a lot of these big companies ditching the wii u are the same that piled shovelware on to the wii back when it was hot.
They aren't supporting the Wii U because the user base isn't large enough it doesn't make business sense yet but when the user base is larger which Nintendo is working on by releasing games like Super Mario 3D World, Wii Fit U and Mario Kart 8 which should get core and casuals on board then we should see EA support it and to the people who claim that the Wii U isn't powerful enough, next gen engines are scalable so there is no reason for multi platform games not to be released on the platform when the base is big enough.

I no like EA, I don't care what they do.
