More than Zelda??
It just might. And to think I cautiously predict it would outsell the original MK8! Switch really is another level.

Well the first party attach rate on Nintendo consoles are usually way higher then other consoles.

Yeah, it hasn't only been games, but after my latest Amazon fiasco with the Zelda special editions, I don't trust in their ability to deliver the shit on time when it comes to preorders. I'll stick with Best Buy ship-to-store for anything of that nature.

Everyone is missing the most obvious answer: no one wants to give Sony their fucking credit card information to watch it get stolen.

I've been saying that Mario Kart is Nintendo's most important Franchise

Has a next gen port ever outsold the original?
Because MK8 is clearly going to

GTAV?
GTA V maybe?

The 'H' stands for hentai.
Take the "probably" out and I agree with you.
It WILL outdo Zelda, it will get more sales and it will have very long legs, until Nintendo wants to make Mario Kart 9 on the Switch from the ground up.
Yep, I am totally uncomfortable putting my CC on PSN. I would gladly pour money into a a prepaid PSN card.
Well if we combine Zelda (Switch and Wii U) versions, Zelda might come up on top though.
And no, we can't combine Mario Kart 8 with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, because they are different games.

Holy cow. Already? Man, if Smash 4 does come to the Switch too, I don't think anyone will be finding a Switch anytime soon.
Amazon needs to find a way to prioritize orders based on when you place your order.
The fact that orders get cancelled regardless of when you place the order makes me never want to preorder from them.

Glad it's doing well, and I will pick it up eventually. Have way too much shit to play right now though.

I said it multiple times, if you don't get the console between now and splatoon, you aren't getting it without hard work into 2018
Tretton would be so proud.
I'd double dip on TMS instantly. Not having to use the gamepad to read the text messages would automatically make the game better for me, can't really stand the <2 hours battery life and fucked up left analog anymore.
It was Capitan Todd.
Still love how nobody got that "Capitan Todd" is italian and not spanish
And like a messaging app, the more people have it, the better the game gets. Moreso than other online games. Because LAN Mario Kart is the ultimate multiplayer experience, and Switch makes the best Mario Kart playable at 8 friends with only 4 Switchs.

I'll take a Tropical Freeze and Smash 4 port easily. I'd say Pikmin 3 as well, but with Pikmin 4 around the corner I think that will suffice.

Mario Kart Wii sold 35-36 million. It was the highest selling game on the wii next to Wii sports.Übermatik;235070038 said:
Double Dash was the second highest selling game on the GC, second to Melee.
Super Circuit was only beaten by Pokemon ans Mario Advance on the GBA.
On the DS, MK was only outsold by Nintendogs and New Super Mario Bros. Yes, it beat Pokemon.
On the 3DS, MK7 was only outsold by pokemon X and Y. I think Sun/Moon might overtake both, but MK7 outsold ORAS and everything else.
And I'm pretty sure MK8 is the best selling Wii U title.
Mario Kart is massive

I'd release it. Every big game is going to have a huge attach rate because there are no big third party games right now.
I'd rebuy 101 with a framerate upgrade in a minute.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the Mario Kart of video games.

If you like Japanese games, yeah, I agree.
The switch is going to be amazing.
Putting Mario Kart so close to launch is PURE GENIUS.
Whoever thought that should be promoted, and given a huge pay raise in Nintendo.

What a weird question. Why would we assume that? Like, at all?
How is this possible? Zelda has sold more copies than Switch itself last I heard. And Mario Kart sold even more than that??
They should be given normal pay because this is what literally anyone would think of to do. The developers who managed to get it done in time deserve the raises.

Nintendo is doing some unheard of stuff right now. This is going in the record books.
Don't do this to me..

Come one guys, 3 pages and not a single Polygon chart
To go on topic, it's really interesting and not that surprising at the same time that this game is selling like hot cakes. On one hand, it's an enhanced port of a Wiiu game. But on the other hand, it's on a console that already is shaping up to be a successful. This just cements the idea of Nintendo having more enhanced ports and I'm ok with that.

Going to pick it up tomorrow for my brother and I'm excited to play battle mode.

Can’t stump the diablos
Because nobody in the right mind trusts any financial information with Sony.
Prepaid cards are the only way.
Damn, we were doing so well.
