echo64, 2 lata temu do games w Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin Flops, Frontier Shares Tank Nearly 20% - IGN

add this to the list of games that flopped before I even knew they existed, You really do have to put down real money to market games if you want people to purchase them

umulu, 2 lata temu do gaming w Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Delayed to Second Half of 2024 - IGN

I’d rather wait for a game and get a great experience, than beg for a rushed game that needs 2 years of updates until it is playable.

A complete game better serves the Imperium.
For the Emperor!

If we apply Occam’s razor, yeah he was defrauding donors.

At some point, it’s had to hit full saturation.

sebinspace, 2 lata temu

Fuck, even I bought the game, and I’ve been a simcade Forza/Gran Turismo addict for years, haven’t played MK since the N64.

It’s good. Really good.

I think Nintendo Kart would be a nice follow-up, with stuff from all of Nintendo’s IP.

mostNONheinous, 2 lata temu

There are at least 10 non Mario characters in game aleeady.

samus12345, 2 lata temu

Yes, but it’s still 90% Mario. There’s a lot of new stuff they could introduce if they bring in not just new characters, but tracks, weapons, and mechanics themed on other IPs.

billiam0202, 2 lata temu

Super Smash Kart?

samus12345, 2 lata temu

That works. Hell, you could even get non-Nintendo characters in there! Pac-Man has already ridden karts with Mario:

Can we finally get F-Zero now?

Marin_Rider, 2 lata temu

id sell my left nut for that. best racing series of all time

kuneho, 2 lata temu do games w Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Falls Out of the U.S. Top 20 Games for the First Time in Six Years - IGN

they should make Mario Kart open world and marry it with Need For Speed => Mario Kart Underground.

hey, Nintendo employee who use Lemmy and read this: push this up for the big bosses around you, because man, that would be a super epic game and a worthy sequel

PieMePlenty, 2 lata temu

Also add a subplot involving an underground crime ring stealing VCR/DVD combo units.

I wonder how many of those sales come from being bundled with a Switch. The report says it lacks digital sales and only makes a passing mention of the bundle

PullUpCircuit, 2 lata temu do games w Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Falls Out of the U.S. Top 20 Games for the First Time in Six Years - IGN

I just got into it again. I played through 7 and put it away. Begrudgingly bought 8 for the kids and decided it was the same game. Started playing with the wife because she was into it suddenly, just in time for the dlc.

altima_neo, 2 lata temu do games w Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Falls Out of the U.S. Top 20 Games for the First Time in Six Years - IGN

I didn’t even know it was still up there

Katana314, 2 lata temu do games w Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Falls Out of the U.S. Top 20 Games for the First Time in Six Years - IGN

Time for Mario Kart 9.

4am, 2 lata temu

Tour was 9. Apparently they’re working on “MKX” for switch 2, but it’s all just rumors with zero evidence.

superduperenigma, 2 lata temu

Mortal Kombat X came out in 2015

magic_lobster_party, 2 lata temu

They’re continuing the 7 ate 9 trend?

RedIce25, 2 lata temu do games w Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Falls Out of the U.S. Top 20 Games for the First Time in Six Years - IGN

Just after the final DLC wave?

RightHandOfIkaros, 2 lata temu do gaming w Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Falls Out of the U.S. Top 20 Games for the First Time in Six Years

Journalism is really hitting all-time lows these days, huh?

They really will make an article on anything just to get clicks and ad revenue.

??? It’s ign not cnn.

RightHandOfIkaros, 2 lata temu

IGN, Kotaku, they’re all the same.

Stelus42, 2 lata temu

Honestly this is a pretty big deal. Mario Kart 8 has been an absolute sales juggernaut. It’s been largely speculated that mario kart 9 has been delayed just because 8 keeps on making millions. It’s just so uncommon to see a game sell in such huge numbers for over 6 years like that, especially because the game itself is way older than that and it didn’t even get any expansions/dlc until very recently.

RightHandOfIkaros, 2 lata temu

It was on two consoles, and was one of the earlier Switch releases. Its not surprising that it sold so many copies at all.

WarmSoda, 2 lata temu

It’s not surprising a game from the last console has been in the top 20 until just now? 78 consecutive months it was there.

It’s not total sales. It’s sales each month.

RightHandOfIkaros, 2 lata temu

Skyrim is still selling copies. So no, its not surprising.

WarmSoda, 2 lata temu

Each month. Not total sales.

RightHandOfIkaros, 2 lata temu

It is not surprising to see an older game continue to sell a lot, especially a child/family oriented game, on a child/family oriented console. A game with basically no real competition in its category.

ampersandrew, 2 lata temu

It is surprising every time a game sells this many copies, because it's so rare. By Wikipedia's count, only 5 other games have sold better, and for the length of time it's been on the sales chart, we can realistically only compare its success to GTA V and Minecraft.

jopepa, 2 lata temu

You’re right, that is a really incredible run. I think their just digging their heels in and being a contrarian because they want to stand by their hot take that journalism is bad now.
