![]() Long-time fans of the series might recognize some of the courses from previous Mario games like the Tour Singapore Speedway, Tour Bangkok Rush, or Tour Amsterdam Drift tracks from the Mario Kart Tour mobile game. It introduces eight new courses and one familiar character, Birdo, but some players found evidence that four more characters could soon follow. It's uninspiringly called the Booster Course Pass Wave 4, it costs $25, but if you don't own the game, the total hit your wallet will take is $85. This brings us to today's order of business, the latest piece of content that hit the digital stores on March 9. While Nintendo doesn't advertise it as being a Live Service game, it kind of is. With improved graphics and some reworked game design parts, the Deluxe version climbed on top of the Switch most sold games leaderboards and is currently boasting over 52 million copies. ![]() Now returning to our neck of the karting woods, Mark Kart 8 Deluxe for the Switch came out in 2017 as an enhanced port (some might even call it a remastered edition) of the 2014 Wii U version. ![]() Sony's console was the cheapest DVD Player on the market by far, so flocks of people started getting one just to watch the Gladiator in 480p. On the other hand, the PlayStation 2 didn't become the undisputed heavyweight champion because people bought it just to play God of War, Gran Turismo, Shadow of the Colossus, and Ico. Some might argue that the comparison isn't justified on account that the PS2 was a home console only, whereas the Switch is a hybrid gaming device. In case you were curious, the PS2 is king, wearing its crown proudly at over 155 million units. The previous title was held by the highly successful 2013-launched PS4 with 117.2 million. The numbers don't lie, because the Wii U barely sold 13.6 million units, compared to the Switch, which is sitting pretty currently, as the second most sold home console in history at 122.5 million units sold. The games weren't the problem, but the hardware was too old and poorly designed to actually be any fun. Bluntly put, the Wii U was a disastrous product in terms of success for Nintendo. The first time Mario Kart 8 hit the shelves was in 2014 on the Wii U, which was a really cool game, getting a 88 on Metacritic.
