GR writes: "The Wii U has been troublesome for Nintendo since it launched last year. Nintendo has responded by putting together a six-month campaign to get the console back on the map. It was kickstarted by one of the most impactful system updates ever seen, and will soon be followed by the console's most important game: its first 3D Mario."
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
One can only hope.
I believe so. Even if they did Galaxy 3 it would be worth it to own a Wii U for.
Doubt it when NSMBU couldnt do it. NSMB sold 30million copies SMG1,2 sold 16 million together.
Nintendo need more then 2-3 games. They need to have a game or 2 every month and thats gonna be hard, with almost no third party support.
They cant bank on another lightning in a bottle thing, like wiifit and wiisports which sold the Wii.
Good advertisement. Who ever greenlit that dubstep commercial must have fallen on his head that day.
Pretty much every 3D mario game beside for Sunshine sold 10 mil. So there is a demand. Even the Super mario 64 remakes on DS and 3DS sold 10 mil which is insane.
I think Mario Kart will be more of a system seller tho but they will sell close most likely
People seem to be forgeting that the New Super Mario Bros games always came after a console had its initial install base.
NSMB Ds came after Super Mario 64 Ds.
NSMB Wii came after Super Mario Galaxy.
NSMB 2 came after Super Mario 3D land, yet it still hasn't outsold it.
This time around NSMB came first, so we will see how it does.
