    You know how high was MK8D in last month’s top e-shop downloads? Third.

    I don’t think it ever dropped below fifth (and even that only for months with a bunch of huge releases) and it’s been very often first or second.

    I love the game, but I just don’t understand how this is possible. Like, at some point, everyone mildly interested in getting it should have it…?

      Switch consoles are still selling as well as ever, and most of them come bundled with MK8D

      So even if you’re not interested, you might still get a digital copy of the game just because it came with your console.

    I suspect the MK8D DLC pushes the sells along the years even further. Those uncertain about buying it cross the line because, hey, hype.

    I suspect Nintendo will do the same for their next MK game.

      I’ve only bought two Nintendo games twice.

      First was Super Smash Bros. Brawl because my first game disc got scratched by accident and became unreadable by the Wii console.

      The second was Mario Kart 8 because of the Booster Course Pass even though I bought this game a decade ago on the Wii U with its DLC.

      The BCP makes this game feel new again, like a Mario Kart 8.5.

    It’s such a shame. MK8 is turning a decade old soon. I just want a new MK. Fuck the Switch, man
