Mario Kart 8 deluxe is my first Mario Kart game I've played, never got to play it originally on the Wii U. I haven't really played it online much and not very good at it but the game is really fun and the Animal Crossing tracks are so beautiful and lovely, the winter music theme is so peaceful. Good to see!
You both know what I mean, remaster is a pretty loose term these days, marginal graphical improvements are having remastered slapped on them
I know but in this case there aren't any. It's just running at a higher resolution due to the Switch being more capable than the Wii U.
Ultimately, I suspect all the Wii U ports will sell more on Switch.
Guess we can point to this as reference when people start complaining about why Nintendo is porting so many Wii-U games to the Switch.
Thats pretty much all Resident Evil HD Remastered was, the Gamecube version running on better hardware
Edit: beaten
This kind of journalism is why I absolutely love Polygon.
Considering the pace this one is selling, i can see Ninty choosing to leave Mario Kart for a while there this gen while pushing MK team to make other IP.^_^
Preeeetty much, though I was crazy in love with 64 and DD when they came out as well.
THat i think is the better idea. Make more DLC then release the Complete Edition DX with all the DLC. While we will see even more crazy project.^_^
And here is it. The thing that should permanently silence complainers about full price Wii U ports coming to Switch. Its pretty clear that Nintendo can probably at least match the Wii U sales (if not completely trounce) on almost anything they decide to bring over and sell on Switch. It will be interesting to see how Donkey Kong and Triforce Heroes do..
Fantastic game, made me buy a ninty console for the first time. I did have a shitty gba though!
DLC would be very much appreciated.

I honestly kinda hope so. Release more DLC until all the retro tracks are represented in MK8D.
And my bitterness over the Wii U continues.
Also, can we get Mario Kart 9 now? Loved Mario Kart 8 back in 2014.

If only Nintendo were sitting an another racing IP, one that is different enough from Mario Kart to not risk cannibalizing its sales. It would be especially nice if it had Smash representation, or even some form of cross promotion with Mario Kart itself! I really wish such an IP could show me its moves!
To add to this I'd assume that GTA5 on PS4/XB1 has outsold PS3/360 by this point.
Back at gaf, I am happy to say that I predicted Mario Kart 8 Deluxe would easily outsell the Wii U version.
Not that anyone cares, but I wanted to use this fantastic news to say that Mario Kart 8/Deluxe is one of the best games of all time. And that's me done.
Hopefully this means we'll get an Fzero game instead.
Don't tap the excite series Nintendo!
It's an okay game, heinously casualized compared to the GOAT Mario Kart Wii, but it's still a pretty okay game. Unfortunately, it's probably gonna be the standard for MK from now on.
Absolutely hilarious how dead this game is on youtube and in Clan Wars compared to Mario Kart Wii, though (the MKboards postcounts for this game are incredibly lacking too). The days of MKWii clan wars will never return...sigh. Competitive Mario Kart had a good run.

No.
I'm sure GTA V PS4/Xbox either has or will outsell the PS360 version.
Good to see. Nintendo should be rewarded when they add new content to ports like this and Pokken Tournament. Captain Toad also will have new levels. What is disappointing is when they port a game like Tropical Freeze without much of anything new besides Funky Mode.
Legs so long, they stretch 2 generations of successors long.
A fifth playable character and new difficulty level is a pretty substantial addition.
GTA5 ?
If the current gen port is a remaster of the last gen entry.
No lol
1080p, tons of extra contents, 8 new tracks for the new battle mode, some new musics, double item, different Kart stats, a new turbo boost
Bayonetta 2 is a port, NOT this lol
By your logic Tropical Freeze is not a port because it got that Funky Kong mode
Hyrule Warriors is not a port because it got Link and Zelda from BOTW
Pokken is not a port because it got new DLC characters
Captain Toad is not a port because it got Odyssey levels.
If only "enhanced port" was not a term used in this industry... oh, wait!..
It's only released once per generation. IP stagnation/Fatigue is nothing to fear for them.
Besides. "Mario Kart" is THE brand. It's as mainstream as games can get. Nintendo Kart might not actually help.
