Why do you think Mario Kart and a 3D Mario will save the WiiU? The GameCube had those games and many more and it didn't sell very well.

Maybe the WiiU will follow the same path. I can see that happening considering the casuals abandoned Nintendo. (I may be wrong)


this exact same thing happened to the 3DS

The Gameboy Advance sold way way better then the GameCube and they both launched close to each other.

We are facing the same scenario.


true the only consoles that had any success that gen was the gameboy advance and the PS2 but the reason why i think those 2 mario games can help the wii u big time is cause a 3d mario game and a mario kart are the best selling games for the 3DS and original wii 



Nintendo has had 2 consecutive years of losses?

A console is much different then a handheld.

A parent will buy his child a handheld with a mario game over a console. You forgot one thing, the Wii had the casuals pockets backing it and it looks like the WiiU is in a very different/tough situation. The reason i think MK & NSMB sold very well on the Wii is because of the casuals buying it for their child and i doubt that parent will go out and buy a Wii U just for NSMBU or MKU.

But i could be wrong! maybe Nintendo will do something to bring the casuals back and save the Wii U.



3DS is DOOMED!!!


Hold on, what year is this?

that is true the only way you can have both casuals and the hardcore is if you pull a M$ and ditch one of them half way through the gen

if mario kart and the 3d mario game do come out this i can imgine the wii u being the best selling system of the holidays

Those games have gained a ton of popularity since.

Thanks to the casuals.... Who don't know what a Wii U is, and yes the DS & 3DS Mario game sales came from the casuals.

A franchise like MK can't gain 25m fans in one gen.<-------- Proved my point.



Like I have said before Mario Kart is a huge franchise( Nintendo's biggest) it will certainly push the Wii U

Nintendo aren't doomed. 3DS would keep them afloat even if WiiU completely tanked. Would be a far cry from the glory days though.


are you sick ? ... stop saying positive things about Nintendo.. gezus
