Gaming Nintendo likes money and the marketplace is dumb enough to give it to them

A Mario Kart 9 would make no sense, there's no generational gap that justifies reinventing the wheel. Better updating the game and giving it more content over time.

A lot of people are rebuying for switch not because of the minor improvements, but rather the fact that on switch the title is now also a portable game. It's the idea of playing imo the best Mario kart to date not only in 1080p60 at home, but also they can play it on the go

Who is seriously going to take that large of a "handheld" around with them playing it in public?

Nah, they won't touch MK8D other than perhaps some slight tweaks/fixes, it's billed as a complete package and I think Nintendo knows customers expect that. I could be wrong, but I think if they add any content it would be free and probably minor.

...most people? It's already gotten me a few dates.

Purses exist

Lots of people.

Purses exist

As do backpacks, briefcases, etc

It is an obvious filler title. The launch lineup was horrible and the "big" games are releasing later in the year :/

Even the 3ds had more titles at launch.

They were all objectively worse than Zelda, though.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that if the game was selling well they would consider content.
Free or not I don't know. I just don't think making a brand new game makes sense, people would get disappointed cause you can't do much better than that on the switch anyway. More content makes sense though.
Pretty much like Smash.

Watch your mouth young man,no anti nintendo propaganda on GBAtemp. You might find yourself banned from here next time you make an anti nintendo comment.

GBAtemp is very open-minded towards anti-Nintendo propaganda.

Which is also a wii u game originally.

Nintendo wants to make money? It's almost as if they're a business or something

Which is also a wii u game originally.

Which fixes everything wrong with the Wii U version.

Haha I was just messing around. You wont get banned but some people do get butt sore.

Where was this outrage with Last of Us and GTAV on PS4? Hmm.

What's exactly "everything"? Frame drops that were not fixed at all? An small res bump? It's the same game on both platforms, the only advantaje of the switch version is portability.

Nintendo is known for gimmicks though to extract money from customers. It would all be fine and dandy,but for example the 2ds XL? What is the point in that? It's only there to take money away from the switch.

What the hell are you going on about? Frame drops were confirmed fixed (and yes, I notice it, so what? 59 fps issues are long gone), 720 to 1080p is a good boost, real online battle mode (not the abortive garbage the Wii U version had), why are you being so confrontational at the fact I like this more than the Wii U version?

Reading http://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendo...to-give-it-to-them.469430/page-2#post-7283765 would let you know what's different.

Yeah, portability is totally the only difference, it's not like there's a robust battle mode, all DLC or anything like that.

59fps is really good what do you mean "issues" ?

Is this really hard to look up on Google or something? http://www.ign.com/wikis/mario-kart-8/Switch_Version_Changes


All sources point to 1080p, 60 fps, the Wii U version had a 59 fps, locked at 720p. You're confusing this with Breath of the Wild being at 900p, not MK8 Deluxe, but I digress. Unless you have a source to back up this claim, form a competent news site, I call BS.

And I find it hilarious that people are overlooking the battle modes being redone, the Wii U battle modes were shit.

The N64 only had two games

Keep in mind that the N64 nearly ruined Nintendo because of how expensive production costs were for the console and cartridges. This is the reason for the major launch flop, and is still considered by Nintendo to be a failure.

Well I'm not buying it full price myself.
