Hardcore Gamer: The big Nintendo news going around the web is the promise from Nintendo of America's president that the Wii U has a long life ahead of it. Those who are paying attention know that this isn't news at all. That isn't just our opinion, either. It's echoed among dozens of video game reviewers across the industry.
Nintendo has recently restored Wii U Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon online after five months of being offline.
Mario Kart 8 has been out for nine years now if you include the Wii U version. Despite the Switch port continuing to sell insane numbers since it came out in 2017, many people believed that a new installment was way past due. When the Booster Course Pass was announced instead, it was a bit controversial, with one side of people stating that it was time for a new game, and the other side believing that this was the best course of action and that there's nothing else Nintendo can do to innovate the franchise.
There's nothing wrong with the games, but after most of them being very samey, I got a bit bored. I liked MKDS because it added a mission mode, yeah it didn't have maybe as many as I'd like but it was decent for variety.
I really prefer the new Mario Party for the different types of games in it.
Mario Kart doesn't really feel fresh because you know what to expect for every new game pretty much. The single player mode of DKR was far more in depth a game vs Mario Kart IMO, MK is probably better for multiplayer though.
It needs a campaign mode like Crash Team Racing with open hubs, driving around the Mushroom Kingdom, selecting your races and the like. Have a system like the CTR tokens within the races that then unlock secret racing cups later on or the time relics to unlock other things.
There's nothing wrong with the games but when you've had the same set up for so many games it just gets a bit samey after a while.
They could even have something like a track creator like Modnation Racers or something.
After starting with the first game on SNES, I think the last one I bought was on the DS.
I think the next gimmick should be interactive tracks with obstacles and traps such as maybe throwing a shell ahead to make something fall on another player Also have water and mud parts that effect handling more also fire parts that can cause you to over heat if you stay in it to long etc...
I don’t think it needs ‘a gimmick’ so much, because gameplay is pretty much perfect right now, but I would like the next Mario Kart to do either a ‘track-builder’ thing, so you just get access to the tools and make your own tracks (think Modnation Racers or LBP Karting), and/or expand upon ‘Mario’ Kart and open it up to the rest of Nintendo IPs, and just do a ‘Nintendo Kart’, so we’d see more of Zelda, but also Starfox, Kirby, Metroid, Valkyria Chronicles*, etc.
* I know, technically not ‘Nintendo’.
Memes have become an important part of humor in the 21st century. These are some of the best things in games that became memes.
"“Sus” is short for suspicious. It was first used in Among Us where players discuss whether a player is responsible for murders in the spaceship." Nope. In use for a century. Simple googling would have done the trick. Funny article, but come on, do some research before you post something as truth.
Good article on "sus"

THANK YOU! Nintendo far and away has the best exclusive titles this console generation and will continue to have them. So there's no Madden -- who cares? I'd rather have Smash Bros and Bayonetta than EA cash grabs any day.
Nintendo has amazing first party studios, but they also get alot of free passes based on nostalgia.
The little system that could. Nintendo will still be around long after their detractors have stopes gaming.
Haters gonna hate, doubters gonna cry, message board shills will rage at their computers.
"In fact, 2013 was a wildly successful year for Wii U exclusives. Of the 10 exclusive Wii U titles released in 2013, five of them sported at least an 80 rating, with two breaking 90 (Wind Waker and Super Mario 3D World). Not a single exclusive from Xbox One or PS4 broke 90, with highest rated games at 78 and 84 respectively"
The Wii U has been out much longer, the Xbox One and PS4 came out in November, they had roughly one and a half month before 2013 ended. Highly unfair comparison especially with launch games.
"Sets up stand"
Alright I got popcorn, pizza, all the good stuff, anyone want anything?
