Honestly the more I see of this game the more it seems like the killer ip the Wii U desperately needs. It seems like Nintendo is really putting their all into this one and it's clearly not just "another Mario Kart" like so many of the games in the series have been for a long time. If this doesn't finally sell the Wii U then I honestly think the system really could be doomed. It's gotta give it the shot in the arm it needs or I don't know what Nintendo can even do. Mario Kart 7 is what finally got the 3DS up and running in sales, and that doesn't even look like half the game MK8 will be.

Make no mistake, the Wii U is dommed, but that wont stop us from enjoying all the great games the system has to offer! |
It isn't doomed yet, but MK8 will give us a good idea of if it will be. This feels like the big chance for the Wii U to turn the corner, but if it doesn't the system's fate won't be looking good.

Nah, it be doomed! We've already seen how SM3DW + other games + price cut + new bundles + advertising + holidays did nothing for the system, so it's safe to say that nothing from the usual console cycle will help it. Yes Mario Kart is the biggest franchise the Wii U will ever see most likely, but not by a significant amount as shown by MK7 and SM3DL sales on 3DS.
