EuroGamer: "Nintendo is the Pixar of video games, and despite the odds stacked against the console, for many prospective buyers, that in itself will be more than enough."

Great read, very good information.

Yeah, it's always a pleasure to read what Eurogamer has to say; but they also haven't mentioned what the specs and performance are of the cpu, I'm concerned with that than the speed of the RAM it has.

it should be more about the entertainment value the system will provide. For that there can't be a decisive answer because we all put value on things differently.

As to the article, it was a good read that has a love it / hate it on various points. I can see there is much improvement over the next several months while they (nintendo) gets things figured out from both consumer criticism as well as developers.

With this large day-one update I feel that we're going to get another instance of game journalism failing gamers. That because they had early access and direct company/PR contacts, the experience of many reviewers isn't anything similar to someone who just bought it. Wont even be close to some poor sap who's getting this for their kids and knows nothing of the gaming community.

Go whine elsewhere. Every device you buy anymore has a day one update. Sometimes, larger than this.

I really doubt anyone has a update day one as big as Wii u's 5 gig.

People who live their lives by 1's and 0's don't actually live.

The Wii U is fun. That's all that matters.

Looking Ahead: The Lingering Questions About the Next Mario Kart

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
