Wii U Launch: 6 Franchises That Should Have Been Included

5. Mario Kart

Mario Kart is another classic Nintendo franchise with a real emphasis on social play and friendly competition, with action spread across famous locales from the company€™s numerous worlds. As with Smash Bros. and Wii U Mario Kart would give Nintendo the option of involving characters from its third-party titles; just how awesome would it be to race around the Citadel from Mass Effect, or take control of Arkham City€™s Joker and create havoc on the Mushroom Kingdom€™s roadways? Even without these kind of additions, a Mario Kart game is a must for any Nintendo console; the Wii U€™s control system would give developers a chance to really innovate and add some new features to the familiar racing set-up. Having a game with such an emphasis on social play and multiplayer competition would also help Nintendo sell more controllers and encourage families to purchase the console on release day.
