MMGN: Through the trials and tribulations of a faltering console, Nintendo has emerged at the foredawn of E3, the premiere event on the gaming calendar, with the crowing realisation of its new approach to delivering information direct to the consumer.
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
Reggie's new and improved body is ready.
This is a smart move. This way they get no direct fan reaction, no feedback from a crowd. No hype. Nothing that excites us. Just a quiet affair. Remember when Twilight Princess was shown at E3 for the first time. The crowd went ballistic. It was an exciting moment that excited the whole gaming industry. Great job Nintendo!
While Sony and MS are sticking with the old (yet tbh tried and true) method Nintendo is doing their own unique, innovative method. Forgo bright lights, huge room and celebrities, Nintendo is using the internet to get their message across. They have streams throughout the day, letting people try Smash early, hosting a massive Smash Tourney for more recognition and hype. And of course a Direct to pack every upcoming major content release minus pointless filler.
Nintendo should be commended for trying something new and bold. They're building their own platform to show off content. From the early reports they should have an impressive showing, unless it's a complete letdown 9am to the end of the day should have a lot of stuff to show and tell
damage controlling from Nintendo fans is almost hilarious really
This is a great move.
