Pokemon Stars Confirmed? (gamestop)

Hikku and Superchunk...no offense but your arguments for ports are really...really pore. There are so many problems with ports.

The first thing I have to say, is that for you hikku(sorry if i put your username down wrong), you said you wanted to experience Mario Kart 8. Now do you want to experience that game specifically because it's the 8th installment, or because it's the newest game in the series? It's because it's the newest game in the series. Now why would you play that over Forza Horizon or Gran Turismo? Oh ya...because it's a different kind of game. The point? You're saying "well I want a Mario kart 8 port because i haven't played the game" - but the reality is that a Mario Kart 9 being in development is entirely possible. Mario Kart games have consistantly released every 3-4 years and by march Mario Kart 8 will have been almost 3 years old. It's time for a new mario kart game. When you say "I want to play Mario Kart 8" - what you're really saying is that you just want the latest installment in the series. This isn't God of War or The Last of Us, these aren't story based games where you need to experience certain installments. And if you say "well...I want Mario Kart 8 because it's unique mechanics" or because of it's quality...well that stuff will probably return. Realize that besides Mario Kart Wii(the Wii was the time of many strange things for Nintendo..), every console Mario Kart game has been recieved as well if not better than the previous installment. Mario Kart 64 - Mario Kart Double Dash - Mario Kart 8.

So why sell more Mario Kart 8? Because...it didn't sell as well??? What? Who cares. It was on a system that sold significantly less than the Wii. Nintendo are fine with Mario Kart 8's sales...why do us consumers have to chant them on and tell them to release mediocre .5 sequels just for the sake of cashing in more profit on a game that already has sold more than most Playstation and Xbox exclusives ever had?

The Wii U is a dangerous console for many reasons, but one of the biggest is that Nintendo fans are now willing to let Nintendo do ANYTHING just for a successful launch. I remember when Wii U fans used to heavily criticize Playstation 4 for it's remasters...and you know what? I got a Wii U because of NEW Nintendo games. Because fans were saying "Hey...these are were the new great exclusives are". Ports of multiplayer heavy games just isn't nintendo.

There are many other reasons why it doesn't make sense...but I am feeling lazy.
