With Mario Kart 8's recent release a couple of weeks ago, a lot of people are picking up a Wii U console along with the game and if you're one such person, you might be wondering, what other exclusive games will be coming out this year for Nintendo's first HD system? Well there's nearly 30 true exclusives set to come to the console by the end of the year and nearly 30 more that are console exclusive.
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
Even though the third-party front is lacking; that's pretty darn awesome. I guess it really is going to be the next Gamecube; which isn't a bad thing because that thing had some amazing games.
Shovel Knight looks cool, gonna look into it
I'll be getting Captain Toad. Hyrule Warriors - I'll wait for reviews, has to be better then Dynasty Warriors. Not sure about Super Smash, never been a fan of fighting games. Local multiplayer sounds like it might be fun.
Does anyone know if Super Smash is split screen in multiplayer. I hate split screen.
Bayonetta 2 and Hyrule warrior!
That list is cool but maybe ONE Indie game appeals to me per year. Captain toad, Smash, Bayonetta, Hyrule Warriors, X, Yoshis wooly world, And Zelda U are the only titles i am interested in. That is actually a lot of games, but i like shooters and more adult third person action games like, lost planet, dead space, GTA, and Tomb Raider. Without titles like those, more than just Bayonetta, I will always be forced to purchase an XB1 or PS4 to play games like that. I am a Nintendo fan first, but it would be nice if they could keep up the third party titles i got to enjoy when this system launched like the CODs, Zombii U, Batman, and Assassins Creed. I want more of a reason own only my Wii U. But like i said i will always support them, just stating my wishes.
