The Wii U is currently on a path of recover, which is mostly in-part due to the September 20th price drop that happened earlier this Fall. Nintendo has miraculously managed to actually get the system moving in Europe and even Japan, which prior to this season was an extremely difficult task for the company.
But it’s going to take more than one successful holiday season to consider the system officially in the clear. As we saw with the first 45 days of the Wii U’s life, the system sold extremely well. But once 2013 rolled around, it sunk faster than Rosie O’Donnel in a swimming pool. So no system is ever automatically set to succeed all because it has isolated moments of glory.
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
PlayStation has announced that they will be removing Twitter/X integration from PS4 and PS5 systems on November 13.
I never used it or had no intentions to. I am curious to why though.
Musk is doing his damndest to kill X the artist formily known as Twitter. Oh well. 🤣
Nintendo has recently restored Wii U Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon online after five months of being offline.
I doubt we'll see 3 of this titles next year X, SMT x FE and Zelda U.
I really want Wii U to succeed, its a very good console, cool gamepad and games (indies and not), I really hope that it will pick up this holliday season with Mario 3D world or if not with smash bros and mario kart, all of these are killer apps, same I wish to next gen consoles and handhelds
3ds had a killer year 2 and wii u will be the same
Yes, the wii u is going to pick up with super mario 3d, and here is another video, the cat suit can turn into a gold statue, and you can take a clone away from another player!! this game just does not stop, with the amount of stuff you can do! Game of the year in my eyes!! cannot wait to get it!!, watch the video for your self!! http://www.youtube.com/watc...
With the launch of the PS4 and Xbox One happening, I don't see the Wii U being successful this year.
