I hope you don't mind be jumping here, it's not often I find something positive about the Wii U. I'm getting Nintendo Land, ZombiU and Assassin's Creed with mine :)

@ Deku-Johnny

I have Nintendo Land and Zombie U... Both great games. Nintendo Land was a bit of a surprise. I knew it would be fun, but it really has way more to offer than I expected. There are a lot of unlocks to keep you coming back. My wife and I have had a lot of fun with it. I think Zombie U is great too... I know some of the reviews have been mixed, but I really dig it. Got AC3 on PS3, but I'd like to see how the gamepad works with it. The gamepad is really cool, and it's almost a let down when you go back to a standard controller. I also got New Super Mario U, and if you likes Super Marion World, then Super Mario U is a sure bet. Feel free to friend me too... I need more Wii U friends. The best thing about Wii U in my opinion is Miiverse. It keeps you from feeling isolated. You just click the Home button on the gamepad, and you can talk about the game you're playing with other people. It's a great community feature.

Man, if that's the UK box art we american's got the short stick, it's really quite cool.

DivineAssault 4159d ago

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.

gold_drake7d ago

there wont be a new one until the switch 2 comes out.

nintendo needs their bangers early on
