Nintendo always seems to be a few steps behind the rest in terms of online capabilities. The GameCube modem never really took off, while the Wii's voice chat was very limited and the DS had some major hiccups that hindered their online functionality. Well, Nintendo is looking to change that with the Wii U by incorporating a new set of voice chat features and revamping the ever so loved 'Friend Code' system.
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
Now I just need friends to chat with : (
I hate the Friend Code sooo much. Why have they not banished it
Please don't approve this, there is no source for this whatsoever.
Edit: my bad, I swore I looked at the bottom. I did find the Facebook thing but I Crtl+F "friend" throughout the whole Q&A, only one result and it dealt nothing with friend code. Can anyone show me where I can find that part of the Q&A?
............ I don't like facebook, but I guess that's good for facebook users.
I like facebook but I am kinda getting tired of it being integrated to anything and everything. I am afraid that soon friends will poke us while we are taking a shower or worse...
"...mhmmm darlin"
- POKE
" WTF?!?!"
