For the first time since its 2017 debut, the consistently well-selling Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is no longer one of the top 20 best selling games in the United States for a given month.

      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.

    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

        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.

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

    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

        I just meant in the sense that it was in the top 20 games in the US. Of course its the most popular mario kart game at the time, but I had no idea people play it enough to generate a concurrent playerbase that large.

        With the general lack of content beyond the initial unlocks/DLC and track packs, I wouldn’t think there was that many people playing essentially becomes a time trial game every day. Then again I play wow now so maybe I do understand.
