smash bros. and mario kart are not going to disappear. people seem to forget that. mario kart 8 was one of the bestselling games this past holiday, and i expect that to be true for next. so, of course, will smash bros. and now that nintendo's more or less made their money from them, they're very bundle-able (this is what they did with mario u and then 3d world: sell separately at retail first holiday/year, then bundle). i expect some decent bundles this year, especially for wii u, and i think both will be up. particularly with a $50 price drop for wii u... it'll be in that impulse buy territory the wii was at right at launch--$249/£/€229.
