MMGN: If rumours are anything to go by, then this year's E3 expo is shaping up to be nothing short of a blockbuster. Microsoft and Sony are set to reveal their next-generation entries into the console market as well as accompanying IPs - leaving Nintendo with a mammoth task ahead if it plans on stealing the limelight from its competitors.
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 new Metroid, Star Fox, F-Zero or even Earthbound(unlikely) would be awesome. It's been awhile since we have seen Fox in action.
I just pray to god the Retro studios title isn't another 2-D side scroller --____--
I hope Retro's game isn't Star Fox. Those games suck.
id rather retro make the next metroid, that would be a good announcement.
I know what would be interesting for Star Fox, either have it similar to Star Fox adventures (never played it) but have most of the game take place using Vehicles like the 64 game, or have no adventure aspect but have a lot more levels & different paths.
The problem with the way starfox is, is that with the limited amount of stages and the fact it's an on rails game means you go through it rather fast, it needs more meat to it or something to make it a lot more replayable. Plus harder bosses wouldn't hurt..
