So the final nail in the Wii U's coffin was a cardboard one. Kind-of fitting actually. Like a chocolate tea pot.
This made me laugh.
I actually like what they're doing though. As long as it doesn't affect their output with games for us, and I don't think it will,then I'm fully behind this idea. I'm 40 year old and it's clearly not for me...... but I'm going to buy it anyway.
@gcunit So the solution to analogue triggers could be a cardboard pedal.Mario Sunshine could have a cardboard F.L.U.D.D or how about a cardboard Poltergust 3000 for Luigi's Mansion.
I'm calling it now, Mario Kart 10 will make use of this. I say 10 as 9 is a bad luck number in Japan,it's pronounced as 'kyu' which is pronounced similarly to agony and torture, so they definitley wont be calling it MK9. MK8D can be the 9th . Funnily enough 8 is considered lucky as its pronounced similar to prosperity and they've used it twice. Now that I think about it, I wonder if that played any part in MK8D's existence?They're pretty superstitious like that. My phone the One Plus 3 is Chinese, 4 is an unlucky number there, Japan too as its homophonous to the word death. The follow up phone to Plus 3 was the One Plus 5,they skipped 4 altogether. Windows skipped 9, iPhone skipped 9 and both have a huge presence in Japan. Superstition may not have played a part in those decisions but the potentially huge loss in sales probably did. Say it was Mario Kart 7 that was on Wii U instead of 8,would we have got MK7 Deluxe on Switch?It's something to ponder.... or maybe not Goodnight.
@OorWullie ive heard this before but i didnt really know they believed in it so much they wont use a number... do they just avoid the number 9 in school? alternatively, do the emos wear 9s on their clothes? i know there has to be at least some people like "idgaf 99999999!"
On another note, SMT Strange Journey Redux got a release date earlier today (May 15th). That's one more 3DS announcement out of the way. There's really only a handful of announcements left for that system honestly.
@DarthNocturnal Yep forgot about that one. I suppose that's that then haha. Saying that, Mario Kart is a different beast altogether, maybe they wouldn't take the risk with that. Or like you say, they could just go with another subtitle.
@Inertiacreep Not sure what they do at school, I think there are different ways it can be pronounced. I can't imagine it's that bad that they won't even use it in their vocabulary though. If so then whoever came up with the word for agony and torture didn't think it through very well haha. I read that the word for comb, as in a hair comb is Kushi, pronounced as 9 4. Because of this they don't gift combs to each other. I'm not sure how many combs would be gifted though even if it didn't sound like that.

The reaction has just been crazy! ..many people seem to be fearing that Nintendo will neglect the 'core' gamer in 2018 (personally, I try to remember that we're only 18 days - and one 'Mini' Direct - in to the year!) ..but WOW - it's just blown up! (..again!)
REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nintendo Switch sold more units in December than any other video game system, according to the NPD Group, which tracks video game sales in the United States. Holiday shoppers purchased 1.5 million Nintendo Switch systems during the five-week reporting period of December, which is a critical month for the video game industry. Since its launch 10 months ago, Nintendo Switch has sold more than 4.8 million units, making it the fastest-selling home console in U.S. history.
The Nintendo 3DS family of systems also demonstrated continued strength, posting its best sales month since December 2014. Collectively, the different versions of Nintendo 3DS hardware sold more than 750,000 units in the U.S. in December, a 27 percent increase over the same period a year ago. The sales also pushed the Nintendo 3DS family of systems to a new milestone of more than 21 million sold in the U.S.
Combined hardware sales of Nintendo Switch, Nintendo 3DS and the Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super NES Classic Edition system topped 2.6 million units, which accounted for more than half of all hardware sold during the month.
Four Nintendo Switch games finished high on the December sales charts for individual titles: Super Mario Odyssey at No. 3, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe at No. 4, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild at No. 9 and Splatoon 2 at No. 16. Additionally, Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon for Nintendo 3DS finished No. 13 and No. 14, respectively.
