Welcome to the latest edition of Nintendo Enthusiast Week in Review. This week Shawn Long takes a look at NPD numbers for Wii U software, Take Two’s relationship with Nintendo, Mario Kart 8 Track Days, Abyss Wii U and Moon Chronicles 3DS reviews, and much more! Be sure to stick around until the end to learn how to win a FREE copy of Super Metroid VC for Wii U!
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
There's crafting, professions, guilds, wars, and an in-game economy.
Nintendo has recently restored Wii U Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon online after five months of being offline.
@sirNintend0 I wouldn't mind seeing a comparison between Mario Kart 8 vs Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed. As for e3 a good look at the Nintendo Nfc figures would be cool
