I'm a Nintendo Fanboy, as you should know, but I really thought the Wii U was underrated as a console. The Switch seems like it may be able to surpass the Wii U in terms of market penetration, so I am perfectly happy with the idea of Switch's Mario Kart being a polished version of Mario Kart 8.  I like how Double Dash's double items are back ( Read more... )
