Mario u mean the nostalgic micro game?

And yes I agree about FarCry4. I would about Metal Gear but it will out in 2015 an not 14.

And Assassins Unity was a total fail worse than Rome2.

Eurogamer agrees with me, and can explain why Mario Kart 8 is so good

No offense, but I can't even begin to take Mario Kart seriously as game of the year. This is all personal taste I realize, so to each his own, but this type of game is so off my radar I wouldn't play it if handed to me for free (along w/ a Wii U).

No offence taken, Nintendo is like marmite, you either love it or hate it. One should at least apreciate their mentality though, like Valve for the pc they will not release anything untill they get everything right, their perfectionism really comes through here. Mario Kart 8 looks and plays absolutily glorious without a single drop of their beloved 60fps target framerate. I will be playing this for years, every track is packed with hidden secrets, it's a masterclass of game-design.

Well, good then that you are enjoying it, that is in the end all that really matters in this little past time of ours.

I have a friend I've known on steam for quite awhile who spends a lot of time lately driving a train, and buying what appears to be a never ending variety of DLC (it appears as if the entire game is made up of hundreds of these). There is nothing that could ever convince me this would be entertaining to me, but I completely get that for him this is just one of those style of games he's into (likes all manner of sims).

So I appreciate Nintendo could be that same sort of thing for you. And to that I say, have fun!

Mario game of Comodor/Sega/ & other old consoles were totally great and nostalogic never happenenig again. of course was great. but not now. not because better games exist no because everything was fun and nostalogic BEFORE and not now not since 2000s. including Mario.

Got a wiiU, things have never been better. The wiiU is a marvel. Sony and Microsoft aren't a competer right now as they are competing with the pc, good luck with that.
