The 2014 title deluxe port is still successful after 7 years.
Originally released in 2014 for the Nintendo Wii, the Mario Kart 8 was replaced by a deluxe version of the Nintendo Switch, which continues to be a huge success 7 years after the original release.
In the UK brick and mortar stores, ahead of titles like FIFA 22 or Call of Duty: Vanguard, the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe launched as the best-selling game of 2022, the latest games in two of the planet’s most popular series.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe completes 5 years on April 28th and continues to be one of the best-selling games for Nintendo’s console, signifying a consistent presence among the best-sellers of tables around the world. However, his longevity on the table is still amazing, and how he ranks first.
This is an indispensable testament to the long-standing appeal of Nintendo exclusives and a testament to the vitality that many series receive on the popular hybrid console.
The Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is approaching 39 million units in 5 years, more than the 8.46 million units sold on the Wii U, and it is the best-selling game in the series.
