Nintendo is smart... have MK8 owners spam youtube with MK8 TV clips which in turn is free advertising for Nintendo. 

Not to mention they get PAID for the advertising.

I just.. what a brilliant move. You can't one up that crap man.

[Rockodoodle]

And if it's a matter of money, they need to have DLC.  Pretty sure they will given that Mercedes deal.  I'd buy upgraded old tracks- and it couldn't hurt to throw in a bonus track or two.  Not to mention new cars, characters etc.

This especially. The modern gaming industry and communities are horrible.

MK8 has sold 1.2 million copies over the weekend.

 

One. Point. Two. Million.

 

But Nintendo will always be doomed

HOLY CARP, 1.2 Million in 2 1/2 days... I was not expecting that AT ALL

I think Mario Kart is saving the Wii U.

Just like Pikmin DLC? 5 tracks, first one comes free with the update. Or maybe an koopa pack, 4 tracks and the koopa troopa character

I was just gonna post this. Do DLC like pikmin 3, dirt cheap but great content plus first part of DLC is a freebie. It works!

But guys we should totally still fire Iwata. He's a total failure and is literally killing Nintendo.

Director[edit]
Kosuke Yabuki
Producer[edit]
Hideki Konno

Yes, it's totally Iwata's doing that the only game of theirs to openly welcome online, is doing well.
Not the two main guys who have been looking after the franchise for years.

Paid advertising, Nintendo get the ad-revenue from all MKTV-posted content.

While that would be nice, I'd probably pay whatever they charged. Most people would, I'm sure.

Iwata's name was in the credits as well (can't remember what under). I wouldn't be surprised if things like MKTV, or at least how it was handled were his idea. Also, he would authorize the giant budget, and he would have done the advertising boost we saw.

[Keviin]

Honestly, DLC can earn them a lot of money. Lots of people would buy a few new tracks (including a character maybe) for 5 bucks. I know I would.

[3Dude]

I will wait for the VG Chartz to tell us, but it could mean over 200, 000 sales worldwide for just a few days work!

Try 1.2 million.

Someone learned a new word.

[Rockodoodle]

I wonder if he meant new Wii U's sold.... 200k would mean around 20 percent of new copies sold went to new owners.

Just proves all the talk about how Nintendo should go mobile/3rd party is a ton of horse crap.

Nintendo games sell Nintendo hardware.

 

It's ironic, Wii U has next to no 3rd party support anymore yet it's my favourite current gen console. Go figure.

The diffrence between Wii U 1st party games and other games  is that even if you beat the game  your still coming back to play it again...and i think the reason behind that is your enjoying the level so much that when you finish it you come back to feel the enjoyment again......think of it as the feeling addicts get when there high .

No, its not comparable to drug use, thats a little something called GOOD GAMEPLAY, and GOOD GAME DESIGN, there was a time, not so long ago, where many, many, MANY games had this. Its something you dont get when the entirety of your 'game' hinges on the marketing vehicle disguised as a story, thats designed to be a one and done experience and funnel you into the next product you are told to spend money on.

So you're taking credit from everyone else on behalf of Iwata?

[iEatTacos]

Haven't made sweet love to my PS4 since last Thursday

I think Nintendo has been my main bae all along

[KeptMyWiiUAndLeftTheForums]

And growing quickly

Yep stealing credit from Sakurai for his authorization of the huge budget. Also stealing credit from SEGA for the advertising campaign. You caught me man.

How could you ever think otherwise?
