Developed by Nintendo EAD in tandem with Retro Studios and published by Nintendo, Mario Kart 7 has proven to be quite a success for the company. Having launched way back in December 2011 worldwide, it managed to sell a whopping 5 million copies in the next fiscal year of 2012, earning the title of most-sold 3DS game at the time and, in turn, helping to ramp up the 3DS's sales and popularity. To this day, Mario Kart 7 still continues to relatively hold up pretty well, having sold a total of 18.38 million units worldwide (as of recent reports) followed by Pokémon X/Y (16.40 million) and Pokémon Sun/Moon (16.16 million). The game has also been included in several bundles, like the relatively recent and aptly named New 2DS XL + Mario Kart 7, which helped boost up sales even late in the console's lifespan.

I had the 3DS since launch date, and it blows my mind that 8 years have passed since we got this glorious game in it's full and fancy 3D, it felt like having a Wii in your hands.
I still remember going to sleep until 3:00 AM while playing with friends online. I don't know why Mario Kart 8 Deluxe does not feel the same for me, maybe I'm just a boring adult now haha.

Mario Kart 7 indeed feels like a Wii game in miniature.
Absolutely loved it and was a kid too back then.
You're right as we get older newer games don't seem to impress us anymore like the older ones

    @K3Nv2 what was your ps4 situation
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    did you always have a ps4 you never updated
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    or were you able to get new ps4 tracking it \
    as soon as the hack was announced
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    or did you have to find a used one with the lower firm ware that was not updated
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I got this ps4 at launch and never updated since 9.0
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    You got a good chance of buying a used one and asking the seller how often they used or even ask for a Pic of fw and telling them not to update
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Speaking of PLaystation. I see Evilnat put out a beta for PS3 CFW 4.91.2 on the 22nd.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Don't really see the point in updating it tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you right, I thought about updating my PS3 CFW to 4.91, but why really, everything plays fine now. I guess for people that have already updated past 4.9 it would be helpful.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Idk if online servers are still active that would be my only thought

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Thats true, personally I don't play it online at all, in fact, I deleted all wifi details on it once I installed CFW, so it won't connect and auto-update itself
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I play most games that are on both PS3/360 strickly on the 360, but PS3 exclusives are really only games I play on the PS3 (You know me, I'm more of a Xbox junkie)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Ps3 really has no titles worth going online over nps is the only reason you'd want wifi
