The launch of Nintendo’s latest console hasn’t exactly gone off without a hitch. If you managed to pick one up at launch, chances are your out-of-the-box experience wasn’t as smooth as it probably should have been. Nintendo’s latest console still feels very much like an unfinished project, but there are more positives than negatives in this situation.
While we wait for Nintendo to get themselves together and then to release TVii and the other missing bits of the Wii U, lets talk about what the console does well.
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
The Wii U really does everything. It is a great entertainment Hub...Ease of use and the Internet integration is seamless. Game/internet use/gameplay/TV/to gameplay TV to gamepad. Nintendo did allot right.
I agree it is a fun/new/interesting way to play games, how can anyone call themselves a gamer and outright "dismiss" any piece of hardware? Silly. I love playing it. I use Netflix, and it works so much smoother and faster than my sony blu-ray for netflix.
Judging by what I have read on this site, piss off all the Ps3 and MS fanboys..
It's because the WIIU has a low CPU speed, and fan boys from both camps are doging it. nintendo fans are not having it. There FIGHTING back.
