Gamesradar- The Wii U's launch marks the transition out of the longest console generation in gaming's history. Yes, even if you think Nintendo is just playing HD catch-up, the Wii U is the beginning of the eighth generation of consoles--Wikipedia says so! Traditionally, the advancement in technology from one generation to the next led to enormous gains in visual quality, which, software aside, was often the marketing focus of any console. Advertisements would scream "look how great the pictures look on this thing!" and kids would point, jaws unhinged, and proclaim how "real" pixelated water was.
So we got to thinking: What can we really expect from games a few years down the road? Surely they'll look better--but will the increase be as dramatic as it had been in generations past?
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.

game improvements all around with other console features. next gen consoles the xbox 720 and ps4 will be a lot more powerful than the xbox 360 and ps3. theyll be able to create more realistic environments, and improve upon gameplay elements with smarter npcs and all sorts which will lead to better immersion in games. physics, animations, sound, controller feed back, 3d, faster multitasking, graphics etc will be improved.
just give us some sort of real time ray-tracing, maybe is too much to ask but is not bad having a dream once in while ;)
It already started you idiot.
We can expect Sony to keep bringing great exclusives and value for our entertainment. Long live play.
Hopefully better gameplay from all genres. I dont expect a huge graphic leap. And less shooters cause there was a TON of shooters this gen.
