The only problem is when you already have bought MK8, all the DLCs, a Wii U, and sometimes get the feeling to put them all together and ignite them near to the Kyoto Nintendo offices in hope they catch fire.
Certainly understand people upset about Wii U, however I bought it Dec 2014 and knew exactly what I was getting at that point (A Nintendo IP box for 8 or so games). Costco even had MK8 for $35-$40 at that point so with the exception of the DLC I will not be loosing much on that game. Splatoon has me a little irked however as Splatoon 2 is at most some DLC.

(I actual have 1 1/2 Wii U's as I picked up a console only off eBay Spring 2015 for $100 as a Homebrew backup and offline MK8 in the bedroom box)

if only i hadn't bought this game digitally.
. The way Nintendo works, I don't see any reason to ever buy digitally from them. Ever. (Well except maybe a DS VC game like Brain Age for rather obvious reasons)

yes. i have learned my lesson. tho i only got mk8 plus dlc for less than 60 bucks - that's why i did it. but even if i had bought retail, i feel i would have lost my dlc.

Third party screws up: Game is broken and unplayable due to bugs thjat sho0uld never have gotten past Alpha
Nintendo screws up: Game is a little more expensive for some reused content

I'd pick the latter anyday. This is the reason why the NES Classic is such a hit

Nintendo is being a dick by charging full RRP for Mario Kart 8 but (god dammit there's a but) it includes all of the DLC, new actual Battle Tracks, 2 items, new karts/racers.. basically what Mario Kart 8 should have had and if you own Mario Kart 8 for WiiU then you can always resell and knock half price of it or so.

I always wanted the complete Mario Kart 8 package on physical media and this is it.

Too bad about the online not being free anymore oh well. Not going to pay for it I'll just play single player or local co-op. :)

I will bite. Nintendo you fucking fuckers. You screwed up and are trying to screw me over. D'bags.

Oh, you screwed up the security on the Wii U so when I sell my MK8 disk, guess what I will still have installed on my USB drive? :)
 
MK8Deluxe.. "MOTHER FUCKERS RE-RELEASING THAT SHIT AGAIN! FUCK YOU NINTENDO!"

Last of Us "YES! A GAME THAT JUST CAME OUT A YEAR OR TWO AGO I GET TO GET AGAIN! I GET TO SPOOGE TO LAST OF US! OH MY GOOOOOOOOD!"

Remember.. When nintendo does it *or it happens on a nintendo platform* it's the worse thing ever.

When it happens on a Sony Console.. It's considered great.

It really isn't. It was pretty damn annoying to see that PS4 was getting so many re-releases of PS3 games instead of actual new ones.

MotorStorm is still nowhere to be found. Or that new The Getaway.. should probably just stop hoping it comes out as Sony never said anything about it for years. :(

You're not the target customer for this title. This is primarily for people who never had a WiiU. Of course there'll always be some people who are going to buy it again, but that's not who Nintendo are marketing it at.

where's the new game

It'll no doubt follow in a couple of years, providing the Switch doesn't tank...

If you don't want it then don't buy it.

And wait.
 
I updated my list to include the revealings from the Nintendo of Poland assets:

Battle Arena Courses
New Amiibo Suits Image
  • Splatoon
  • Isabelle
New Battle Modes
  • Bob-Omb Blast (note the colored explosions)
  • Coin Runners
  • Piranha Plant Battle
  • Shine Thief
  • Higher / configurable number of balloons at the start (they all seem to have 5 by default)

I can't help but think they've missed a trick with the splatoon characters they could of added a few shooting modes, drive by paiting battles would of been epic.

A hybrid Double Dash and Splatoon would be epic in multiplayer.

I think it's less Sony and more people seem to absolutely love The Last of Us.
