With rumors flying around about a "new" Nintendo console, what's fact and what's fiction?
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
Fact - Nintendo's making a new console.
Ficton - Everything else.
People usually don't know what's in Nintendo consoles until they're release, Nintendo is ran like Area 51.
Incorporate the 3DS Augmented Reality into glasses and start doing boardgames. Have Intelligent Systems working on an equivalent to Star Wars 'Dejarik'. :) Link-in QoL tech.
Don't see why people even bother trying to figure it out. Nintendo are like ninjas; they're swift and they're silent. You don't really know what's going on until they WANT you to know what's going on, and by then, it's already in your face.
Whatever their next system may be; we won't be hearing about it for a while. The Wii U just turned 2, so there's AT THE VERY LEAST, 3 more years to go before its successor is released. Case-in-point; the earliest we'll truly know anything is 2016, if not 2017.
A 2017 release would be best. It's not like there's any rules on this and we've seen consoles released in a similar time frame. Looking at Wii U's poor performance, it makes sense.
