Smash on 3DS releases first and has it's own unique game mode. Does Nintendo realize the message that gives about Wii U?

Mario Kart 8 will carry the console until Smash comes out, you'll see that in due time non-believer.

I know (at least I think I do) that you're joking, but like I said I'm just concerned and disappointed more than anything.  I also don't think MK8, as great as it will be, is going to have a long term impact 

Of course it won't have a long term impact. Super Mario 3D World was a huge game last year but it showed weak legs. This is because the Wii U itself is poor at selling software, and will probably continue to do so for the duration of it's life span.

Not even Mario Kart is capable of creating a sustained interest because the console itself is not appealing. And if Mario Kart can't, then probably nothing Nintendo releases will ever change that fact.
