It was this time last year that a couple of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 figures for Mio were revealed, including a scale figure. Now thanks to WonHobby 37, we’ve gotten our first proper look.
You can see the new Mio figure above. Right now it’s in prototype form, so it’s lacking color. The production process will continue to move along and we’ll eventually get a more final look.
[Let’s Talk] What should Nintendo do next with Mario Kart?
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk | 0 comments
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe will be wrapping up its Booster Course Pass later this year, and that leaves us at an interesting point with the series. Mario Kart Tour will still be going on, but many will be wondering what will come next with the console games. It’s a safe bet at this point that Nintendo is holding off on introducing a brand new title until the Switch’s successor launches. With Mario Kart 8 first hitting Wii U in 2014, it’ll be at least a decade since the last totally original title.
Plenty of people have ideas as to what Nintendo should do with Mario Kart in the future. Some think the next game should go all out and bring in even more franchises outside of the immediate Mario space. Others think something like a more involved single-player campaign would be a good idea. Needless to say, although Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has a ton of content and many believe it’s the franchise’s best, there are still plenty of directions Nintendo should go in.
So what do you think Nintendo should do next with Mario Kart? What are your ideas? Let us know in the comments below.
