meh i knew ninty is up to something with that bigger battery space on the game pad..

morpha4114d ago

they will make a mint from these officially licensed products that are almost essential.

Neonridr4115d ago

Awesome that it just replaces the existing battery and doesn't add any extra bulkiness to the gamepad.

dantesparda4114d ago

why couldnt this just have been the wii u's battery?

morpha4114d ago

Probably because nintendo was trying to hit a price point.

What I want to know is: How heavy is this battery?

dantesparda4114d ago

I understand that, but i still think Nintendo should have bit the bullet and swallowed the cost

ElectricKaibutsu4115d ago

Well that was fast. Nyko makes good stuff too.

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.
