Hope they offer a transfer between consoles like with the 3DS.

Wow $50 for my Wii? What a deal!

It seems GameStop knows nothing about equivalent exchange.

PopRocks3593982d ago

HA! I see what you did there. Bubble up for hilariousness.

Utalkin2me3982d ago

$50 is great, what do you expect for a system that is 7 years old and was already outdated when it released?

BeZdaBest3982d ago

not for me.. once i got my wiiu and transferred my stuff i hacked it...so no dice..

Summons753982d ago

That sounds pretty decent if you want to just throw all your saves and virtual console games out the window.....

JuleyJules3982d ago

You can just do it the way my friends did - buy the Wii U first, transfer everything over to the Wii U and then bring the Wii in for your $50 towards a new game. Then you have everything like your saves, miis and vc games.

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.

there wont be a new one until the switch 2 comes out.

nintendo needs their bangers early on
