Another Huge Hit for Nintendo As Hacker Managed to Exploit Mario Kart 8

Nintendo has been struggling with their Wii U Console since its debut and things are about to get worse as two hackers known by the names of MrBean3500vr and Chadderz uploaded four videos a Mario Kart 8 Mod that was possible by hacking the Wii U browser. These videos show the progress of the duo that allow them to propose “Customs Tracks” to the community.

How is that another hit for Nintendo? Nintendo has been flying high since e3, and I doubt this will stop them. A quick patch and it's over with.

abstractel3574d ago

Flying high? Isn't that exaggerating a bit?

nidhogg3574d ago

He's just quoting James Blunt.

dotwithshoes3574d ago

Well considering they just released MK8 which is one of the best sellers out at the moment, and Tomadachi(sp?) life for the 3DS and Smash right around the corner. Add to those a ton of other content, and year I'd say they are flying high.. compared to how they had been pre-e3.

ShinMaster3574d ago (Edited 3574d ago )

Can you chat in Mario Kart 8 with friends yet?(don't care about strangers)
I'm thinking of picking it up soon.

Shnazzyone3573d ago

@shinmaster Yes you have been from the start but only in a friend room lobby so the answer is actually. Yes... kinda.

Doesn't hack increase hardware sales? Remember people owning two ps3 because of it being hacked? This happened with wii also. That home brew was pretty impressive.

SilentNegotiator3573d ago

It's an exploit, not a custom OS.

SilentNegotiator3573d ago (Edited 3573d ago )

OMG two hackers?! Another MAJOR BLOW!!

Canadiangamernet3575d ago

Still they struggled a lot since the Wii U release. They are getting back from that but it would be the first next generation console hacked.

randomass1713574d ago

Hackers are everywhere online but they are generally unavoidable and their antics can get patched especially on consoles.

Theyellowflash303574d ago

Canadiangamer.....

Dude, your article is idiotic, Nintendo can just release a patch.

"Still they struggled a lot since the Wii U release. They are getting back from that but it would be the first next generation console hacked."

Microsoft and Sony are struggling as well. How is the Vita doing? And the Xbox One is getting outsold by the Wii U worldwide.

Nintendo has the 3DS, that is selling really well right now.

Don't have a double standard. Nintendo is struggling, yet Sony and MS is fine?

Now you're writing a whole article based on a hacker? LOL this is flamebait, you know that.

Shnazzyone3573d ago

Uh, just so everyone understands. These two are fiddling with things and likely will never be able to take any of these things online. This is just them fiddling in the code.

ReesesPuffs3574d ago

I don't know about that man. Canadians really know how to party :)

VicodinViking3574d ago

Any self respecting human in this world doesn't care about gay shit like Naruto, bud.

The hackers you mention are not even publishing their stuff anytime soon. Even if they release the hacks, Nintendo should be able to patch the game.

If the Wii U is still struggling commercially, that's another story, but the point of your piece is that the hacks will affect Nintendo, and it's not entirely the case.

deafdani3574d ago

As far as I understand it, this isn't actually a console hack, more lika a game exploit. A hack, if you will, for a single Wii U game.

In the long run, this could mean anything, or nothing. To jump to conclussions so soon is premature from your part, and your article definitely has too much of a "doom & gloom" tone to it, so don't act surprised if people disregard it as flamebait.

"Nintendo has been struggling with their Wii U Console since its debut and things are about to get worse as two hacker"

You have got to be kidding me!

LOL_WUT3574d ago

This doesn't sound good hopefully Nintendo patches the game to remove this exploit. ;)

DanielGearSolid3574d ago

If anything it'll boost sales until it gets patched.

I remember buying a 2nd psp just for cfw.
But I'm just one case

How Many More Victims, Like Garry's Mod, Will Nintendo's Hurtful Crusade Create?

The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.

gold_drake5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.

nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.

people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly

mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.

zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.

nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.

its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.

but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.

Inverno4d ago

Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
