Mario Kart 7 Is Still Selling Like Hotcakes

The game picture is wrong.

Anyways, I did like Mario Kart 7, it was good, but haven't played it for years

Edit: thanks for changing that My OCD was going crazy

That's surprising to see, considering MK8 Deluxe is a portable MK powerhouse that overshadows it in every way.

I didn't really like MK7. In terms of new tracks and the character roster, they were mostly rubbish. At least the game introduced the Propeller/Glider mechanic.

Now can Mario Kart go the way of smash and have an "ultimate" version! Or just release it as DLC. Would be happy. Oh DK mountain how I miss thee! Bowser shell backwards on the bridge before finishing, resulting in screams of pain from my friends... Brings back happy memories.

Nothing plays like Mario Kart. Polished like a gem.

I take my 3ds to work for lunch break. Mario Kart 7 is a great game to play in short bursts.

And, I cannot imagine my switch without Mario Kart 8. The sales numbers do not surprise me.

However, with sales this big, I wonder how much they are working on a new Mario Kart?

Apart from the whole not patching the multiplayer bug at the beginning, this is probably my favorite Mario Kart

Mario Kart 7 has sold over 1 million copies a year for the last 8 consecutive years.

Insane performance for a 7+ year-old game that has never received any noteworthy content or quality-of-life updates since its launch window.

That’s great although I’ve not touched this since getting mk8 dx but I would love some more dlc wouldn’t hesitate to buy it

@westman98 That what I thought reading this article. And there wasn't any remaster or re-release on another platform like Skyrim or GTA V to keep the sales up.

It's one of the must have titles on 3DS. No real surprise there.

The last two years I have purchased 2DS systems for my nieces and nephews and Mario Kart 7 is the first title I get for them if it’s not included on the system.

I'd buy Dlc for both if it was released, even if it was just re-skinned characters. Great games.

Still a great game. Some of the best courses in the whole series.

"Not bad for a Wii U port!" I'd still rather have a new Mario Kart game then the same one that I've been playing for years regardless of how good it is. Since when did wanting new games become a bad thing?

Mario Kart 7 still plays well on the 3DS. Got to give that 3DS some 💜.

Haven't played Mario Kart 7 for a while, as I've been playing more of MK8. Maybe I'll jump into some online races for a nice nostalgia trip.

Reminds me that I need to frame something for someone.

@KevTastic84 Agreed. If it wasn't for the DLC Mario Kart 8 received, I'd honestly say 7 had the best track lineup in the series. Even the more disliked courses (Cheep Cheep Lagoon in particular) are still competent.

Indeed. My only issue with 7 is i get serious hand cramp after playing a few races. Gonna invest in a 2DS XL controller grip i think,

Can't say I'm surprised, 7 is really good.

Nice. I wonder how much Mario Kart Wii is still selling?

I love all Mario Kart games, but 7 is the only one where I really like every single one of the tracks, so glad to hear it's still getting its well deserved attention.

Nintendo will very probably release a new Mario Kart game at the very start of every new gen from now on. It's basically their top-selling IP now.

Mario Kart 7 is the best Mario Kart and I'd still rather play it then 8. I love the track designs and length, really one of the most fun Mario Kart's to play.

One of my least favorite Mariokarts. I don't know why.

I just bought mk7 aswell as a 3ds this year
