MK8D is putting in work, fastest selling game in the series history in the US alone.

Nintendo News: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for Nintendo Switch is the Fastest-Selling Mario Kart Game in Franchise History

REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--With more than 459,000 combined packaged and digital sales in the U.S. on launch day alone (April 28), Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for the Nintendo Switch system is the fastest-selling game in the long-running Mario Kart series. The previous record holder for the highest first-day sales in the franchise was Mario Kart Wii, with U.S. sales of approximately 433,900 when it launched in 2008. The solid sales numbers for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe equate to an attach rate of 45 percent – meaning nearly one in two Nintendo Switch owners in the U.S. purchased a copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the first day it was available. To date, more than 2.7 million Nintendo Switch systems have been sold globally.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has also received more perfect review scores than any other Mario Kart game ever. With a current Metacritic score of 93, the critically acclaimed title is the highest-rated game in the series in 15 years – tying the overall review score of Mario Kart: Super Circuit for Game Boy Advance.

To continue this strong momentum into the summer, a series of great games will launch for Nintendo Switch over the next few months, including Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition (May 11), Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers (May 26), ARMS (June 16) and Splatoon 2 (July 21).

It was a joke about how when sales in general get brought up between XB1 and PS4 the focus of the conversation gets shifted to global sales.

The Switch is Nintendo's Stilmatic






Here's another classic

We back

Did folks who pre-ordered through amazon receive a 20% discount? I was under the impression that it was supposed to be $47.99 for us, but I payed $60. I just contacted them via email asking about it.

Haven't copped MK8D yet but i'm a little disappointed with the Switch so far. My wife wanted me to cop for the kids but right now it feels like a waste of money. At least they love MK, that was the only thing that got burn on the WiiU other than some occasional Splatoon.

Nintendo has the best first party games always. I have more Wii U games than PS4 or X1 games (full disclosure, I mostly buy games on PC, if given the option).

Zelda looks amazing. Sure, it doesn't look as good as Witcher 3 from a technical standpoint, but the graphics are great. Nintendo knows art style. Zelda: BOTW will still look good 10 years from now, just like the SNES games still look good today.

Nintendo is back
