CVG - Nintendo lost its core audience at the turn of the century and, after ten extraordinarily successful years in a different market, it now carries a romantic belief that old fans will return in their millions when the Wii U launches.
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
The idea that you can only go at one market shows no ambition in the writers.
That is exactly what ps1,ps2, and wii represent. The problem is this could be bigger. Art assets are at the sweet spots and render at a true hd texture and polygon resolution now with out framerate drops.
Many people waited for ac3, even batman. These games will seem like movies to the new casuals. I what an avg of 2-6 games bought with this system. With a huge ammount wait for some games to just come out.
The game pad actually unites the owner with their tv and turns a dumb HDTV into a smart one with netflix and a browser that run better than most.
Then on top of it all we have not seen nintendo or third party heavy hitters yet. Any 3dsxl interaction is welcomed also.
This is the console to start a new game oreinted franchise on. The true hd visuals after 6 years of up scaling is a breath of fresh air.
Hopfully sonys and ms next boxes do not lower framerates just to have pretty pictures, we all just wanted games. Some thing also tells me the indies will unlock the potiential of the game pad first yet you know nintendo has a plan for that.
This little box has done more to get me excited about gaming than a 6core i7, with 64 gigs of ram and a gpu sporting 4 gigs of ram lol.
