An Electronic Boredom "So as many tech and games sites are quick to point out (see IGN and Kotaku) the Wii U hasn’t been selling well, like at all. Actually Nintendo is taking a hit on every Wii U they even sell. So why is this, why in a time when the video game industry is thriving and constantly breaking it’s own records, is one of the three big platforms losing credibility?"
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
I'm sure more people will take the console serious once tons of quality software pops up
I can't take this article seriously. (Setting myself up)
I mean, there are so many flaws in thinking... I'm not too sure how many real fans of gaming want what the author wants.
My wallet is already starved with the new games coming to Wii U and PC. I'm already starting to build a backlog. I remember this being the case around the time the 3DS was starting to turn around.
Nope. Nintendo has created a image for itself that it's primarily for children and old people. In my opinion, no self respecting person would buy one. Male anyway.
Unless you have more money than sense and are part of the "I own all the consoles so my opinion is better than yours" bandwagon.
I do deplore those people.
No. Not for me..... Just prettier looking Wii games.... Got that already...
I hope so
