Forums - Gaming - Mario Kart 8 makes the Wii U the first must-have console

(In my opinion)

Mario Kart 8 is easily the best game in the franchise- the best graphics, the smoothest gameplay, the best online, the most variety in characters, courses, karts, etc. Not only that, but Nintendo has decided to give a game of equal value (if you choose either Pikmin 3 or WWHD), for absolutely free. 

That's $60 for $120 worth of games that are all better than any other next-gen game currently available on other consoles by a landslide.

Not only that, but Mario Kart 8 Wii U bundle knocks another $30 off the game price, and adds in a steering wheel and limited-edition controller that are worth $45 by themselves, if not more, for free.

That's essentially $330 for both the console and $165 of games/accessories.

You pretty much get the console (and the Deluxe version, at that) for $165. That's easily a better deal than the PS4 (at $400) or the Xbox One (at $400/$500), and this is coming from someone who owns both a Wii U and PS4.

If you love Mario Kart and Nintendo games in general, now is the time to get a Wii U. If you don't, you are missing out on the best value in gaming currently.

the wii u does have the most games.

I don't know why people don't want one as much lol.



Yea! And the rest of the year looks pretty kickass too with games like X and SSB coming out and not to mention whatever they are gonna announce at e3!

Also, to the people that does the survey when registering MK8 on Club Nintendo, there is a question thats like "how much has the free game influenced your purchase of this game." Can you put like 5-7 (7 being very influenced) cause I want more free games loll

PS4 is must for me since Infamous. I just don't have the money yet



By far the best collection of next-gen games. Too bad the casuals only care about their anual call of duty and madden game.

Not everyone thinks Mario Kart and other Nintendo games are the best games, or even close to the best games. Or that they alone are worth buying a console for. Sorry.



No Diddy, console not worth it....

Joking aside, it completely makes the console worth the buy. I'm enjoying the hell out of it. It's amazingly beautiful, and just crazy fun.

Best Racing game of this generation.

Id could say total opposite on the consoles worth value, but atleast you said opinion and fair nuf it is just that.  Your view tis all. 

Intrestingly nuff best graphics, best online are you sure ? casue for years iv heard form certain people such things dont matter. 

Personally will get Kart when i trade in watch dogs, hope it lives up to the hype.  But im going in with low expectatiuons, Ninty fanbase has been to desperate for a savoir to trust their take on Wiiu games.  But it is kart, shoulndt dissapoint.

Lego city, Wonderful 101, Pikmin 3, best version of Ninja Gaiden 3, Zelda, etc. If you buy the Wii U and every Wii U game and still do not like it, I will shave my scrotal hair and eat it.


and Batman's, Zombie U, Mass Effect, CoD and so on
