After our articles were voted by the Top 50 readers of the decade, Nintendo Life staff will be selecting their favorite Nintendo games between 2010 to 2009. Today, Darren looks back to the golden era of the Wii U in 2014 and beyond …
Ah, good old Wii U. While it was a commercial flight, the less-than-dinky concert had some amazing performances in its short lifespan. Of course, since the days of Super NES no Nintendo console generation could pass without a Mario Kart game again Mario Kart 8 the guarantee was the belt.
While it may not be so great it is exciting My 10 year game choice, is probably the game I've been most excited about all these years (especially with the kids!). Yes Mario Kart 8 Deluxe coming soon after the launch of Nintendo Switch, this has ensured that we always have an easy way to enjoy this game, either at home or on our travels.
Back in May 2014, I look forward to playing what would be the first Martin Kart in glorious HD in my luxury home. I've played a bit early on in the Nintendo newspapers, which convinced me that this would be the best entry, what with its anti-gravity features and the smooth 60play FPS gameplay. Having young children back then, it was a game we could enjoy again. At one point I was running and I felt like we couldn't completely beat them in VS mode, sometimes they were having fun as I was working in 150cc mode and trying to get all the gold and 3 stars.
It's impossible to overstate my excitement when the Zelda and Animal Crossing DLC packs were announced via Mario Kart 8. New courses were added and could be played like Tanooki Mario, Cat Peach and Link it was a revelation. Of course, the crown jewelry on these DLC packs was the F-Zero themed level that perfectly matched the anti-graves vibes. A wonderful surprise.
Something about the game made it sound more polished than ever. Maybe it was a hint of a high definition interpretation to bring to the table, or the way it drew on the best things from previous games and felt like a real result in a much better series. It is possible Luigi's death was highlighted it had something to do with it, but Mario Kart 8 had that special Nintendo sauce that kept me coming back many times.
The Deluxe version on Turnch put together all of that good DLC and added a proper Battle Mode, the absence of one of the first Wii U resistance. The dismantling of the 200cc category, extra items and characters has been a crack in the already delicious cake, with other additions such as Smart Steering's choice making the game more accessible to novices than before.
By selling the 19 million units of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe sold on the switch, Nintendo & # 39; s kart racer has introduced itself to the most popular game on the switch, much above the top Super Smash Bros. Finally, Super Mario Odyssey and The History of Zelda: Breathing in Wildlife… of course success. Even though it was in its original state, however, to me Mario Kart 8 was ahead of the pack. Now while we wait for Mario Kart 9, let's have some exciting DLC please Nintendo!
