Nintendo’s Wii U is off to an interesting start. It’s been on sale a few days now in the US (with the European and Japanese launches happening in the next few weeks), but some US retailers are already selling the Wii U’s launch games at a discounted price.
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.

This whole week is discounted prices moron. Nintendo chose the perfect week to launch with pre-Black Friday deals.
The 40% off games was a Launch day promotion by Toys R Us. Worthless article.
Wow....... LOL that's all I can say about this article....
First off, downvoted and I hope others join me. Second off, this is NOT unheard of or even unique to the Wii U. The Vita had B2G1 free at Target for the launch week (or the week after), so that already debunks that part. Finally, do you have any idea how to run a retail store... at all? Nintendo pushes out a new console, you want people at your store, you offer special deal. This is hardly rocket science and shouldn't be more than simple common sense. I mean whats next, Nintendo has lost faith because Old Navy is offering New Super Mario Bros. U for free with 50 dollar purchase?
