rustyshell: With Wii U turning one this week, here’s a look at the biggest disappointments in the machine’s first year.
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
Lol who does that? Celebrates a birthday by recapping on the biggest disappointments?
Haha, damn.
who approves this fucking shit? Mario Bros U sold well enough with 'sub par visuals'; the o.s. loading times were never a huge issue for early adopters (drought of games was our biggest gripe); rayman legends delay was a huge mistake by UBISOFT, not nintendo. A lot of wii u owners such as myself said screw ubi, and bought the excellent Pikmin 3 and The Wonderful 101 instead. And as for Rayman Legends being undeniably a great game with wonderful vibrant graphics, well Nintendo is taking them back to school with game of the year contender Super Mario 3d World. Let me guess whats gonna be in your '10 things wii U got right': "By having an underpowered console, they helped Sony and Ms...." Utter tripe article. Troll like a man, not a weasel.
Seems a pretty fair assertion to me.
LOL. The Wii U is about to get one of the best games this year and people still think the Wii U is s***
Nintendo, please fire iwata.
