GR - "Just a good deal, or a sign of more to come?"
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
a precedent has been set by nintendo where consumers know theyll drop their prices soon after release or expected to. this is what happens when you sell crap at a high price point, youll need to drop prices. we'll see if this will be adopted across all regions. the wii u should be less than half the asking price. the parts of a wii u shouldnt be over 160quids because its using all outdated parts from years ago with the newest part being 5 years old.

""You know I am glad you get your comment in early, that way the rest of us users can actually have a coherent discussion with relevant points.""
good to see you with a relevant point there mate. is it true that the wii u will play games in 4k resolution and run games that looks like bf3 on ultra? lol. i also heard the wii u can read 300gb blu rays. lol, ps3 is more powerful and can do everything a wii u does but better.
Oh hey. Another fanboy pissing contest on N4G. This is definitely something never before seen on this site.
WiiU gpgpu is a beast and is at least 2 generations ahead of ps3 and the rest.
too early for a pricedrop every1 says.. lol it will begin as a promo sale & then be finalized as a price drop everywhere shortly after.. Otherwise, it better get some KICK A$$ exclusives if they wanna sell
UK retailers can set prices as they please for Nintendo consoles. That's just they agreement they have. Maybe Sony as well since some random Vita price drops were usually in the UK.
