Mario Kart 8 will include some sort of “game chat” feature, according to a listing on the Wii U eShop. This term is a bit unclear, though some believe it relates to voice chat.
Originally, it was thought that Mario Kart 8 wouldn’t allow players to chat online. The discovery above, however, may prove otherwise.
Note that Nintendo has not announced voice chat for Mario Kart 8 at this time.

Japanese hardware sales hit five-year low earlier this month
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 3 Comments
During the week of April 14, Japan experienced its lowest gaming hardware sales in five years. Information provided by Media Create states that the downturn can be attributed to sluggish sales of Nintendo and PlayStation consoles.
The 3DS, for instance, dropped to 19,943 for the week, which Media Create believes could be related to Nintendo’s “monthly recommended software campaign”. This began on April 26. Consumers may have been hesitant to hold off on making a 3DS purchase until the campaign kicked off.
Media Create also has some insight into the low sales of other platforms. According to the sales tracker, this may have been due to new releases being unable to sell more than a combined total of 50,000 copies during the week.
