"Nintendo has sold nearly 4.5 million video games in France in 2014. The Wii U home console now reached 515,000 sales, while a new version of the portable 3DS is about to arrive in stores.
Pokemon, Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros ... Nintendo revenues were still operated at full capacity last year, and allowed it to be back "the first video game publisher in France with nearly 4.5 million games sold in 2014, "according to Deputy Director General of the French branch, Philippe Lavoué. Nintendo, which stands in front of Electronic Arts (FIFA 15) and Ubisoft (Assassin's Creed Unity, Watch Dogs) was already number one in 2013. "
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
If you are looking for a bargain, check out the huge discounts across the entire WatchDogs series on Steam.
Nintendo has recently restored Wii U Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon online after five months of being offline.

Actually even I buy all my game-copies in France. and I don't even live there. Amazon-Fr just has the best deals.
En fonction des jeux, les français ont un goût excelent!
