@Caryslan the wii u numbers might last more than a few weeks, hyrule warriors is right next for japan, and there's a lot of hype for that game over there
"Nintendo is touting that instead of small gameplay and trailer samples, Treehouse will bring in-depth gameplay videos of both announced and unannounced titles. Developers will also be on hand to give in-depth analysis live at the event. Finally, the legendary Shigeru Miyamoto will be in attendance on Tuesday, June 10th. Will he be showing off a new game?"
Treehouse Crew will be streaming live on Twitch and YouTube during the following times:
Tuesday, June 10th: 11:35 AM – 4:00 PM PT Wednesday, June 11th: 9:15 AM – 6:00 PM PT Thursday, June 12th: 9:30 AM – 5:00 PM PT
@Gerbwmu @hydeks I didn't mean for the general public, i wanted to say that the trolls are pretty bad. Here are some points which made me laugh pretty good "This game falls far short of that with poor responding controls and almost PS One like load times. The carts & bikes drive like furniture through a tar pit with sluggish at best response times. The drift system has been ruined with a gargantuan annoying hop at the start of the drift that takes away control and offers little gain for speed"
"And the graphics aren't even as good as the sonic racing game also on the wii U. Not to mention that when you you use the upad it still displays split screen during multiplayer... how lazy! Not to mention it runs at 720p instead of 1080p... and not even 60fps!"
"I played Mario kart 1 and loved it. 20 years later 8 comes out and sorry but did I miss something? I remember 1, 64 and double dash. I think the developers forgot how to count because it should be Mario cart 4. Anyway the game is unrealistic and you can play as a gorilla. I'm sorry but I work with gorillas all day and not once have I seen them drive a car. The gorilla can NOT drive. would you feel comfortable with a gorilla driving your car? I did not think so. Soon kids will think gorillas can, and this cannot happen. 0/5 stars a giant failure."
"Crap waste of money same repetitive stuff game is lame and boring maybe fun for little kids but I didn't like it stick to mario kart double dash best one out there in my opinion they over hyped this Garbadge to much"
" Also they don't tell you how to get good at the game, so whenever you start you are going to get owned. OH and if your Wii u is dusty from not playing it in 1 year, you may want to blow it off. Anyways i rate this game 1/5, for obvious reasons. But i recommend this game if you are a big fan. so 5/5 for big fans "
@Gerbwmu i just checked Uk's amazon, not a single one or two star rating, i guess US people are more stupid than i thought
EDIT: No offence to the US people, I just wanted to point out how bad at trolling people have became.
@YoshiTails You see? The game is now more skill based than luck based on items, this is better, enough of people holdin 1st with shells and bananas @SuperMikey the game is amazing, also don't forget about the free game you get!
@Marshi he basically complains about everything nintendo does, just ignore him. On my view, having all these controller options is an advantage for a lot of gamers out there.
hopefully it reaches 100k by next week, Japan has a strong desire for mario kart games, let's just hope! Don't forget hyrule warriors is just around the corner for japan as well, they made a huge buzz for that game as well
@BLPs you're kidding me right? i played sonic all stars for 2 weeks and never touched it again, what's the point to get stars to unlock more when most of the last stages can't be beaten in A/S rank? I've had mkw for over 4 years and i still play it today, with 3 of my family members.
Mk8 is a must have, getting that with WWHD hmm.. i have city but i'm not so sure about origins.. not a big fan of batman.. don't know either about lego batman, it's nice to have 2 player mode one on gamepad and one on the screen but i'm not sure. Any advice guys?
@Savino what do you mean by the next zelda installment? This title will sure play a big role in the japanese market, look how much Mh4 sold in japan, they love these kind of games. So does USA but this isn't Nintendo's Next big zelda game. More will be revealed this E3.
@Tasuki Sakurai has already revealed a lot of smash bros characters for the game, why even confirm them as players if your going to use them for figurines only? this must be something different, maybe like saving custom sets, or trophies or Extra character DLC (that is not unlockable from the game except for the figurines) I'm sure nintendo is wise enough not to use it like skylanders on a franchise like this. I shall wait for their approach this E3
@shigulicious indeedm hyrule warriors has the same way of 2 player co op, one on the gamepad, one on the the screen. Don't know why they didnt use it on mk8..
@PS4 i didnt say i was from the US but still games over here for wii u usually cost 45-59 i think cod was 65 last time i went to a store ps4 and xbone games cost 55-69.99 euros over here.... thats 100$ right there, theres a reason why i get my games online for uk, so i wouldnt pay this ridicoulous amount.
@HaThready yep, that's the problem when they bring games out of the usa, they get overpriced, that's why i just wait for retailers to lower the price on the games
@HaThready Wii u games at full price? never heard of em, most expensive wii u game i got was 3d world for 55, the others range from 15-45 (except for mk8, which i pre ordered for 50)
