Chris Kohler talks with Wired editor Peter Rubin over the Wii U in Wired's Game|Life podcast
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 think the big problem for me when considering the Gamepad is that outside of a small number of titles (and even less I would want from that small group) there are barely any games that me feel I NEED to play the game with the game pad, and nintendo themselves have done a poor job of this (and their future games do not seem to suggest that they have improved much).
I think the WiiU is a great idea on paper, but a year in, I do question whether the gamepad is really needed at all. Hopefully things start to upswing for Nintendo in 2014.
Its great right now
This is the heart of the system. That's the whole point of the "U".
Taking the Gamepad from the Wii U is like taking the Wiimote from the Wii or the two screens from the DS. It's what defines the system.
Gamepad is awesome its the best control out of the 3 next gen systems in my opinion
I have five Wii U games and my nephews have stopped playing it because they never liked the gamepad from the start. I'm not a fan of it either and will be waiting on the next shipment for PS4.
