Whats more is I ll probably buy Mario Kart 8 again, just to play the enhanced edition on the switch.

I guess we'll all have to, when they inevitably shut down the servers for the Wii U version.

I bet it won't be as quick as the shut the Wii servers down.  Wii servers went down quick mainly because Gamespy went defunk.  Sure they might close the servers quicker than others but I don't think it will be as quick as last time.  My guess would be early 2018 is when they turn off 3DS and Wii U servers.
