Mario Kart 8 Doing Well In Amazon Best-Sellers Chart Around The World

Several readers have brought it to my attention that Mario Kart 8 is doing extremely well on the Amazon best-sellers chart around the world. Though it’s slipped several places since the special Mario Kart Nintendo Direct, the game seems to be holding up well on the Amazon pre-order charts in the UK, US and Japan, amongst others.

Thanks, NintendoGuy and the others who sent this in.

    Good good…

    Even Kirby is better than any pathetic Xbot technology…

    Soon our power will return!

      1. Nintendo Commander Quadraxis

        You must be new…

        The war against corruption has been going on ever since the Atarians rose to power a long time ago…

          1. Nintendo Commander Quadraxis

            Then you shouldn’t be quick to underestimate our empire…

            And I can admit that the Sonyans probably will win this generation but my concern is more about the Xbots and I’m sure the Sony Commander agrees…

            1. No, i shouldnt be quick to underestimate Nintendo, which i never was in the first place. I dont care what some basement dweller who named himself Sony Commander thinks.

              1. The Smart phone will be the death of all consoles eventually, why cant we just hate them instead of hating on each other, Xbox is for Xbox players, ps4 is for playstation players, and wii u is for Nintendo players, damn its that simple!

                1. He called Xboxes technology pathetic, i dont even like xbox and i can smell the bullshit all the way over here in the USA.

                  1. Most of you guys are british right? The last Nintendo site i went to everybody was speaking chinese, CHING CHANG CHONG YING CHANG CHING.

                    1. And you don’t think he was being arrogant, Will? Isn’t that the basis of racism?

                      1. He wasn’t being racist. he was just stereotyping chill out, no need to be embarrassed at all.

                      2. Uh… I’m sorry? Not really sure what to tell you on that, Sam. See a doctor? As for Nintendofan64, stereotyping or racism it doesn’t matter because it’s still wrong. I’m not freakin out. Just wish Sam didn’t admit to being American. What he says now reflects on us. Poorly, I might add.

                  2. Nintendo Commander Quadraxis

                    No it isn’t…

                    Once the Xbots are gone, we can all focus our forces against the Apples…

                    1. Woah slow down, i love Ninty and i love to see them curbstomp Sony, Disney and the NSA, but Apple is a whole other level bro.

                      1. That’s right, Apple is dangerous and Nintendo should keep a distance.

                      2. Nintendo Commander Quadraxis

                        I know but we still must try…

                        We cannot let idiotic so called “gaming” win over real gaming…

                  3. Pardon me this basement dweller was at work……

                    And taking down the Xbot army is my main goal and it should be your priority too because of their almost hostile take over
                    Of always online system on their xbot1 they’re always a threat to freedom and privacy……… Also their not that innovative

                    And did commander Quadraxis kneel before me in defeat!!!!!! Muahaha sonydomination!

                    1. Valve Admiral GLaDOS

                      The sonyan inferiority seem to love to make up bullshit. The only thing I see is you kneeling down before is our mighty republic in defeat, it’s such a sad day for you, because if you cannot defeat our forces, then it is obvious you cannot defeat the empire that inspired our great lord Newell to create our republic.

                2. “our empire”

                  Sorry, but you are not apart of Nintendo or their empire, you are simply a customer who buys their products. Quite frankly they would probably never hire you to work for them with your attitude, as Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft actually like each other, they could not care at all about you fans bickering between one another.

                  They all respect each other, but some fans aren’t able to achieve the same level of maturity.

                  I can completely understand if those systems (you hate so dearly) just did not have anything that interests you but the way you constantly shit all over them or the people who support them is extremely immature. Makes you no better than the people from the other camps who do the exact same thing to Nintendo fans.

                  Do you also have to mention Sony fans and Microsoft fans every single freaking comment you make here? God damn, it gets old to me just reading it, I can’t imagine why you aren’t bored of your own antics already…

                  1. Nintendo Commander Quadraxis

                    Anyone who supports the Microsoft Realm after they pulled that garbage move should just dig their own grave because they will never receive my respect…

          2. Tell that to Microsoft from last year when they pulled a dick move with DRM and do did it today..

            1. Nintendo Commander Quadraxis

              You humans are so retarded…

              Just because I don’t own one yet doesn’t mean I can play it somewhere else…

            2. So I’m guessing everyone who doesn’t own a Wii U can’t comment on Wii U articles? Retard logic is obvious

        1. Heh. Funny. Because I was actually about to buy MK8 from Amazon.. It would’ve added to the sales. XD I preordered it from Gamestop today though, so now I will be racing DAY ONE! :D

        2. ^says the guys that doesn’t own a Wii U lol your fucking pathetic claiming your a die hard Nintendo fan and don’t even own their flagship console

          1. Nintendo Commander Quadraxis

            And I can comment on anything and everything I want…

            Our empire will soon be everywhere and there is no stopping it…

            1. Tallon Ridley XIII: Kalas

              Apparently, they keep forgetting the fact you’re busy with more important stuff than a video game console. You go a bit far sometimes with your love for Nintendo, but I have respect for anyone that cares more for their education than a video game console. 300 bucks plus the money for a few games you want isn’t exactly cheap, after all.

              1. Nintendo Commander Quadraxis

                They probably think that making videos on youtube is a real job…

                Worst excuse ever…

      2. Knew it, Mario Kart 8 is going to really help the Wii U out… and people said that Mario Kart doesn’t sell consoles XD

        1. IDK who the dumbasses (Xbots I bet) who said that but this game is gonna fire up the platform like hell rising. C:

        1. He can’t. That pussy is still in shameful hiding. Heh. Guess that loser finally admits defeat.

              1. Nintendo Commander Quadraxis

                Maybe he is the bottom in a relationship and that’s why he likes to be butthurt all the time…

            1. After enough butthurting he seen today, the little gorilla finally snapped into same old insanity. How cute.

              But we’re still lightyears ready to beat his sore losing brokeback ass.

        2. it funny how ps4 is still beating wii u and xbox one is crushing wii u everyweek. 311k vs 70k lol nintendon’t irreavelent confirmed.

          1. It’s funny how you come to every article trying to diss Nintendo on a NINTENDO FAN WEBSITE. Go to an Xbox site, hypocrite.

            1. Tallon Ridley XIII: Kalas

              I sometimes think he’s one of those youtube people getting paid by Microsoft to say only good things about their consoles.

          2. Actually xbox 48000 and wiiu 40000 but nice try and that’s not good for xbox since wiiu is a year older

          3. No shit PS4 is outselling Wii U. No suprise there. But Xbox One, its still lagging at 4 million while Wii U made pass 6.3/4 million. How is that “beating” Wii U in any sense not to mention this game and the bundle is gonna blow that I.E.D DRV Box out of the sky.

            Again, you lose.

          4. From what I’m seeing the Wii U is destroying the Xbox One and as soon as the Wii U hits China and Korea which have strict rules on violent video games, I don’t expect the Xbone to pick up in sales anytime soon. Hell, Mario Kart 8 is destroying PS4 orders and the Xbox One orders so yeah…

      3. I’m looking forward to this but two Wii U games in half a year is not good enough. Some people count Wii Fit U and NES Remix as games and I just laugh.

        1. Only two games???? Sonic Boom,Smash bro’s,Mariokart,Bayonetta 2,Monolith soft with X,Hyrule Warriors, those games are coming this year out dude, and there will be more games what we don’t know about yet, Iwata say that a couple month ago!

        2. yeeeaaaah…because DKCTF is not game at all, also, don’t forget that we were supposed to have Watch Dogs, but it was delayed. and Also, we got Child of Light, a fantastic RPG game.

          1. Tallon Ridley XIII: Kalas

            Not to mention the torrent of indie games on the Wii U right now. Some indie games might be on the same level as smartphone games, but they are still games. Hell! I’d go so far as to say some smartphone games are just NES games for phones.

        3. Tallon Ridley XIII: Kalas

          Wii Fit U, I’ll give you that one but NES Remix? How is that not a game? That’s like saying WarioWare is not a real video game.

      4. Good.

        Nintendo NEEDS TO :
        reveal the official AMAZING sales of wii u and mk8 FEW days before e3.

        HYPE the U at E3
        release a game in late june.(to carry the momentum)
        release games

      5. Woah. It seems 3DS is doing great in France. Japan’s extended game list is interesting too, I can see Child of Light there.

      6. Good for nintendo, hopefully they keep a momentum going, hopefully they surprises us a E3 because the wii u needs support,Smash and Mario kart can’t save it alone

        1. You do know xbox 1 only shipped 5 million consoles not sold. it don’t even matter its ms vs sony and sony is world star hip hopping ms so badly bro gaming is finished nig

        2. Look who’s talking finally coming out of the closet after being debunked by 1080p 60FPS MK8 news this morning.

          Again, you lose.

      7. yes it sounds good :-)
        wow watch dog is going to be the new hype. its almost always under the top 3 and this over month.

      8. i belive in god and the wiiu will be fine because god is real and is listening to use and so is nintendo the QOL thing is want god wants to happen and it will be great why? because of the power of god will make it great and excited gameconsoles have no console cycle because of the power of god

      9. because the god of the bible is real so we dont need a deadicated game consoles no more there will always be hope for the wiiu because of the promise of god

      10. Hey guys.
        Any help on a WiiU sensor bar that is reversed?
        The “up” is “down” & the “left” is “right”
        Any idea how to fix it?

      11. hey, everybody!. sasori is pissed off!!, give a look to this meme and see for yourselves!!!
        http://www.generadormemes.com/meme/04uode
        the man in the pic could be his dad: look sasori’s mii and look the man’s face, they’re the same, LOL.
        If he does not care, why the hell he comments on them?. because he is PISSED!!!
        i readed a comment where someone is challengin’ you to crush your Wii U. I agree with the person, if you hate Nintendo, crush your console.
        what happens?, oh, you can’t. You love Nintendo and the only reason you spread the hate on them is because you need atention!!
        social reject!!!

        1. Zing! Exacto mudo! C: He’s a chickenshit, brokeback monkey ass who in fact is one of those mentally challenged people who secretly loves something but toi bwyond shameful and scared to openly express it so they output bunch of BS transparent negativity to hide that feeling.

          1. Yet you make videos talking about Nintendo fans and support nxtgen720 who is another social reject… yeah, I believe YOU’RE the social reject here

                1. He just wants to touch your penis, he’s never felt the glorious crotch of a Nintendo Overlord before

      12. People hate Nintendo so much that they come to a Nintendo news website, giving Nintendo more attention.

        1. Monster hunter on wii u has game chat labeled and it has voice chat. The direct confirmed it has voice chat in lobbies go to 22:20. There is even a picture mic

        2. So you are using a guy who lets his kids shit on the carpet, hardly cleans himself and was actually exposed by BlackB0nd who (even though I hardly agree with him) I actually agree with? Wow, you really are the worst person on the planet with no life XD

          Hey guys, this dude is taking advice from another social reject who is also a Well Fare Warrior XD

      13. i’d be surprised if it was any other way

        this is mario kart we’re talking about after all.. probably nintendo’s biggest cash machine

        1. I’d agree with thst Kehool. We should kepp this on topic thought about this go talk on MySonyNews.com or something like XboxFTL.com anyways MK8 is perfect now we need it out

      14. I lost to a ps4 sport game, ‘MLB 14: The Show’ in Amazon USA!? I guess they’re too fat to play outside.

        1. He was fapping, right? because he repeats the word “oh, man!!!” a lot, i’m pretty sure he was fapping and that was disgusting, stupid sasori if you want to upload videos to youtube don’t fap at the same time…it’s disgusting.

      15. Super Mario 3D World was also, sadly it doesn’t mean anything being number one on Amazon, obviously, as it was the worst selling Mario game to date. It didn’t really move any Wii U’s either.

        So I am not going to jump the gun and assume the same just because Mario Kart 8 is up there as well.

        1. super mario 3d world sold over 2 million and is still selling just like most other nintendo titles

          that’s not a whole lot for a mario title but super paper mario for example only managed to sell about the same amount in 1 year
          so it’s not the worst selling mario game

        2. Tallon Ridley XIII: Kalas

          I feel SM3DW will be one of those games that sells better with time. It doesn’t have to sell millions in 2-3 months to be a good selling game.

          1. which it did anyway

            funny how 2 million within a couple months is already considered bad for a mario game

      16. we should note that amazon US is not selling the MK8 bundle. currently the U system is in the 50’s of the best sellers so we can assume it’s moving systems since a month ago the system wasn’t even in the top 100. the big question is gamestop since they are selling the bundle…

      17. I really hope Nintendo does okay with this. Nintendo is the only company that supports the games that I really really really like. No Nintendo = one less gamer in the world. 아자아자 fighting :D

      18. Mk8 is the 1st real nintendo blockbuster for wii u and all its done so far is confused consumers into buying the cheaper wii u the one without the screen controller the regular wii ;)
