What does this mean for Nintendo? It seems like Nintendo has the least amount of steam going into the New Year, or do they?"
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
Nintendo seems to have a pretty solid lineup for the 3DS, I'm really interested to see if Nintendo pulls things together for the Wii U at this years E3.
I'm very interested to see what Nintendo has to show, more interested in a price point. If they can show me a new console with HD Zelda, Mario, Metroid ect... and price it $350 or lower, I think they will do well.
Can't wait to see more on Wii U. Really, little is known about it... I want to see software, prices, specs, apps.
i think the wii u is going to be really cool and will be succesful, whether or not it will be a purchase right away for me remains to be seen and hinges largely upon whether or not there are some awesome, core ip's
metroid, zelda, resident evil, baten kaitos(i wish),castlevania
get a few of those in 1080p at 60 frames per second and you got my money nintendo!
try 15+ million 3ds's
I thought they had the most steam going into this year, seeing as how they have the most games and an entire console with it's own as of yet unannounced games.
