Nintendo has commented on the two problems, long OS load times and system crashes, that is currently plaguing the launch of their Nintendo Wii U system
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
"We are aware that users are experiencing load times when they launch or switch between applications. We are exploring ways to enhance features for consumers’ overall experience."
Good to see a fast response and clarification that they are working on fixing things.
Maybe I'm just lucky but havent had a single issue.My update took less than an hour and everything has been running great. Havent really noticed any long load times for anything. If anything the system starts pretty quick imo but it does take longer for the TV to show whats going on then the game pad when first started up but that might be my tv. Loving it so far. It's not perfect of course nothing is but I'm enjoying the console and even Nintendoland and Miiverse.
It did seem odd to go to the eshop and see AC3,NSMBU and other HD retail games for sale on a Nintendo console. I like how they let devs set their own pricing for games. Taking more of a Steam approach instead ofwhat current consoles are doing.
Never be an early adopter...There is always pain involved.
A Nintendo platform has problems...this is the first I heard of it. Is Nintendo slipping?
