not bad at all, it'll be interesting to see how long it lasts



Xbox One, PS4 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch will sell better than Wii U Lifetime Sales by Jan 1st 2018

I hope Global weekly sales can stabilise on a 40/50k level. This is basically the last chance to change the WiiU trajectory up or down from Gamecube fate.

Well, I think Mari Kart will have more legs than SM3DW. Now it is important what Nintendo will show on E3 and what we can expect the next months. Wii Sports Club Retail was not planned I think, as it fills the summer-hole, that we have again. And then games start rolling out in August, Hyrule Warriorss or bayonetta will be the start I guess.

It is very impressive indeed. It is what we can expect from big franchises on Nintendo.

Impressive. Glad to see all the people that bash the Wii U as a failure design and not the unwanted games released are quiet now.

Still very bad numbers!!!

I reckon Bayonetta mid July, then Hyrule Warriors late August

Wi Sports Resort (retail) in late June for the West. Not a blockbuster, but every little bit helps.

Mario kart is a huge system seller Im expecting around 150k hardware mario kart 8 made the wii u go boom lets get it Nintendo!


Great game on a great system. I only now realized as well that (maybe it was in an update), I can grab my pro controller and activate the console, getting straight to mario kart without the gamepad. I like the gamepad, but I don't want to overuse it or leave it sitting around so I'd like to rest it under my TV here and there. 

 

MK8 is unlike any other system seller in that it will sell the Wii U for the next 7 years + while the likes of watchdogs will be obselete in a year or 2. 


Really? They didn't mention that as part of the update...


Sorry not my pro controller. My Wiimote. 


Dude... Not cool :/


Actually it is my pro commander by Nyko. It has a power button on the back that can be used to turn on the Wii U.

Turning the WiiU console ON without the gamepad and accessing MK or the free game from the "quicke launch menu" is cool!!!

I can keep the Pro Controller in the living room together with the WiiU. And have the gamepad in my bedroom :)

Its like having 2 consoles (since I have 2 WiiU's its like having 4 muahahahahahahahahaha! Now make me access my premium console's games with my basic model Nintendo! I want a "1 account for several systems" update!)



Meh.... I just read that it was a Wiimote....


Hi JazzB1287, it actually WAS my pro commander from Nyko that's able to turn on my wii U with the power button on the back of it. Awesome, right?
