Kotaku - Did you get a Wii U over the weekend? Good for you! You go enjoy that. This question is for those, like me, who did not.
I'm curious as to why you didn't go line up and get one at launch. Are you waiting for more games? Better games? A price-drop? Different colours? Or have you decided, in your infinite wisdom, to write off a console on day one, regardless of how amazing its future games and experiences may be?
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
Not a big fan of Nintendo games ever since. Sure I played Mario back in the days, but it's not just my type of game...I can just buy multiplats.
Too many problems at launch. Not RRoD-caliber yet, but I refuse to be a beta tester for a system.
Never bought a console at launch. I like to give the manufacture time to work out hardware kinks, as well as seeing software library becoming more fleshed out.
cuz ps4 is coming soon.
Well i decided to hold out after the erratic reviews of ZombiU, helped in no part by the now infamous 'Cricket Bat' used to kill zombies in the game. I feel that the Wii U has developed a bit of a stigma coz of the Cricket Bat incident..... i don't want to be labelled as 'the guy with the Cricket Bat console' so I've decided to hold out and wait till the Cricket Bat 'dust' has settled, may purchase next year.
