Nintendo has released the first firmware update for Wii U following launch, and it comes in at nearly 600MB.
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
600MB!? Nintendo....
what does the update do?
I hope it speeds up the system load times. Switching between things takes so long.
Wow!!! 600mb's? Pretty big considering the 8gb model is down to three once u do the first update.
Woa!
But, I thought people said Sonys updates were ridiculously big (150mb)
...
I bet Nintendo will have a picture of Mario riding on Yoshi about to punch King Bowser in the gut playing on the screen during the update , and the Wii U fanboys will forget all about how big the update is and say "Im okay with it, I love my Wii U" ..
A word of advice, dont unplug or disconnect the wii u during the update..
