The Nintendo Switch has been an undeniable success for Nintendo, but which games make the best selling chart for the console?
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
A new hardware mod for the Nintendo Switch allows the console to run The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom at a resolution of 4K.
4k turd doesnt look very good. resolution of textures, poor lighting, bad models and shaders wont be saved by upscaling a video to 4k
the issue is that zelda is heavily styliesed (spelling), take away all the yricks that make it look good, and ur left with ... well. that
thing is you can be heavily stylized and detailed. zelda isnt unique in cel shading, just look at the detail given by arc system works granblue versus rising or guilty gear
its astonishing that nintendo games will never achieve it. maybe in 10 years when all of us have moved on to greater things
NE: "We're looking at ACNH and ACNL to determine which is the better game and how future entries can learn from both of them."
After the hype wore off during the height of COVID I found New Horizons disappointing compared to. Ew Leaf
NH gave us a lot more cool features but then took things away which they slowly drip fed us with poor updates
Crazy how much it sold and how popular it was during COVID and it got such terrible support
We need more control in the next game, the fact we couldn’t move the airport or town hall was ridiculous and certain items were randomised, like I could get a black lamppost unless a friend gave me one of his because mine were green.
In the end I still prefer New Leaf, one of the most important factors being the breakable tools. It gets pretty annoying when you have to keep making bug nets, fishing rods etc in New Horizons.
It came out at the perfect time and was completely abandoned save for a couple of small updates. Those months after release could have taken the game to a whole other level but I guess Nintendo wasn’t impressed with the number of active players.
Animal crossing came out the week the entire world shutdown. Yeah I bought it.
Nintendo made out like bandits with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It's the same game that was on the WiiU except they added 2 item boxes like in double dash.
this is why i always say that Nintendo will always be fine. look at those numbers lol
and those are all first party games.
