'The Windwaker HD' sales prove Nintendo is stuck between a rock and a hard place
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
here comes the denial
I don't own a wii u yet but i think your over looking something very inportant,indie games. The Wiiu has more indie games comeing to it then the ps4 does and they make a big difference in the long run even if you hate them. I know this because i follow indie games like it's a bible on kickstarter. You talk to small indie companys and the'll tell you the same.
Go to VGchartz and look at the top ten games sold for last week.
Windwaker HD sales only proves that software sells hardware. Sure lets just ignore how well the Wii-u did this week and instead look at how Windwaker is not giving out GTA V numbers.
Nintendo just can't win, there's always something negative.
I don't understand how Wind Waker increasing Wii u sales by 685% indicates Nintendo is between a rock and a hard place. Sales are sales regardless of where they come from. Although Wonderful 101 has not sold that well, this is not unusual for new IPs, particularly on a small install base. Over its lifetime it may in fact sell well as numbers of consoles pick up.
