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

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!

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

sebinspace,

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,

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

samus12345,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

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,

Super Smash Kart?

@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

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

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,

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, 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.

I didn’t even know it was still up there

Time for Mario Kart 9.

4am,

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

superduperenigma,

Mortal Kombat X came out in 2015

magic_lobster_party,

They’re continuing the 7 ate 9 trend?

Just after the final DLC wave?

RightHandOfIkaros, 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.

signor,

??? It’s ign not cnn.

RightHandOfIkaros,

IGN, Kotaku, they’re all the same.

Stelus42,

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,

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,

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,

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

WarmSoda,

Each month. Not total sales.

RightHandOfIkaros,

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,
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

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,

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.
