Ones To Watch In 2014: Wii U

A smashing set of games.

2014 should hopefully be to the Wii U what 2013 was to the 3DS. Nintendo’s line-up is already looking strong, and it’s likely they’ll announce more titles in the first half of the year during Nintendo Direct broadcasts, just as they did last week.

With Super Mario 3D World and The Wind Waker HD under their belts, they’ve shown how to make high quality games for the system, so here’s hoping next year will be even better and they’ll turn the dwindling sales around.

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

PlayStation Removing Twitter/X Integration for PS4 and PS5 on November 13

PlayStation has announced that they will be removing Twitter/X integration from PS4 and PS5 systems on November 13.

shinoff2183170d ago (Edited 170d ago )

I never used it or had no intentions to. I am curious to why though.

Nitrowolf2170d ago (Edited 170d ago )

the API prices, Musk is insane
Even if PlayStation could afford it, it's a waste

GamerRN169d ago

It was never that useful when it was free for Sony

excaliburps170d ago

Elon that's why. He put a large amount to use Twitter API. Dude is killing the platform and once BlueSky launches, it's game over. I mean, assuming BlueSky works and all.

gerbintosh170d ago

Just like when Threads launched, it was game over but look at it now. If a company wants to replace twitter they need to innovate not copy

Spenok170d ago

Lol, yeah, THAT'S going to happen.

Musk has been doing nothing but make the platform a better place to communicate, making truth easier to find or point out.

People keep saying it's dying, or he's going to kill it, but it's somehow still the most used platform of its kind than any other.

shadowknight203170d ago (Edited 170d ago )

Twitter is 1 of the few social platforms that allows us as people to speak freely, and I mean everyone, so him ruining the platform as u say, is a big joke of a statement.

Sometimes it only takes 1 person, but it takes a large group of people and a need, a purpose, to make a change happen. There was obviously a need for change. Spew your propaganda filth all you want, but if API prices ruins a platform, a 'use' that PS never really used or needed, then you otta reprioritize what matters to you when you speak nonsense. But that's actually what that is "non" "sense".

Moegooner170d ago (Edited 170d ago )

Lol @ the last two comments. It lost around half of its value. Try again.

Jin_Sakai170d ago (Edited 170d ago )

“Musk has been doing nothing but make the platform a better place to communicate, making truth easier to find or point out.”

“People keep saying it's dying, or he's going to kill it, but it's somehow still the most used platform of its kind than any other.“

Exactly. The Elon hate is funny. Twitter was headed for bankruptcy before Elon acquired them and now with 80% of the workforce gone X continues to operate just fine and has gotten more features than before in a record amount of time.

X is seeing 1.5 million new sign-ups every day.
Back in March, X reported that it now has 253 million daily active users, an increase of 15 million on the 238 million mDAU that Twitter reported in July 2022.

SyntheticForm170d ago

Thank god for community notes.

RioKing169d ago (Edited 169d ago )

Expecting the guy who ran Twitter to not turn BlueSky into the same left-wing echo chamber it was is hilarious. Have fun with that. 👍🏼

fr0sty169d ago

@spenok, that isn't even close to true. Twitter has lost almost all of its sponsors, and usage rates are plummeting faster than any other social network out there. At least try to look up the facts before you speak.

fr0sty169d ago (Edited 169d ago )

@ Jin

X currently has 225 million daily active users – a decline in tens of millions or 11.6 percent of users from just before Musk acquired the company. Ad revenue is down 50%.

fr0sty169d ago

Elon lets the nazis roam free, and in turn the sponsors roam free as well, away from X. I give it another year, he'll try to sell it once his dream of turning it into an unregulated bank come crashing down around his feet.

MS had already dropped it, so this really isn't a surprise.

I used it just to post screenshots. But that was years ago when the feature and twitter were new.

Gamingsince1981170d ago

Twitter was always trash, the faster he kills it the better.

Army_of_Darkness170d ago

X and rumble. The only platforms with genuinely true free speech for us all! Everyone should support them by signing up. It's free after all 👆👍 heck, I never had Twitter until Elon took over😁

FunAndGun170d ago

There is no such thing as "free speech" when you sign a Terms of Service Agreement. X and Rumble still delete, ban, and censors users.

shinoff2183170d ago (Edited 170d ago )

Man I get the free speech and all but the biggest ones clamoring about that are the ones I'm not interested in hearing their bs from anyway. Free speech shouldn't mean being able to flat out lie with no evidence what so ever. Just saying

Will say twiiter is one of the few places besides reddit I could advertise one of my ventures

Price for the Musk adventure

kneon170d ago

Price for the Musk ̶a̶d̶v̶e̶n̶t̶u̶r̶e̶ debacle

ZeekQuattro170d ago

Musk is doing his damndest to kill X the artist formily known as Twitter. Oh well. 🤣

cammers1995169d ago

It'll be gone within a few years thanks to him.

Army_of_Darkness170d ago

Why would you say that? The dude is undoubtedly a great human being. Donating to charities, helping the environment, allowing free speech on X even though his actions are causing other huge companies and elitist to become his opposition as a consequence, his quote to them was“Offer me money.. Offer me power.. I don't care.” 🙌 the man!

shadowknight203169d ago

People have more hate for him than Jeffrey Epstein. It's not the people's fault, it's just people are too easily brainwashed by propaganda. Happened with the Germans and Hitler, and it's happening again but on a world scale.

Babadook7169d ago (Edited 169d ago )

Musk is a breath of fresh air compared to other tech big wigs. He’s not even woke.

Zuck on the other hand. 💩
