I'm currently debating this now. Generally, I like to keep all of my games. But it would be a shame to have the Wii U version just sitting there when I have an upgraded version. I haven't had any problems getting new versions of the 3DS and trading in/selling my old ones, but for some reason I find myself wanting to keep the Wii U version of Mario Kart 8.

Wii U + Switch Owners, will you be getting rid of your vanilla Mario Kart 8 game?

Good argument.

Until they cut it off. Not saying anything is happening yet, and of course Wii was a special case because iirc they were having to pay per year because the hosting company they used for Wii/DS online folded... but they cut Wii online functionality in all games about the same time MK8 launched on Wii U.
I doubt they're planning to do it again, but I'd be really pissed if they did it anywhere near as early as they did in the Wii U lifetime vs Wii.

If you plan on buying a Switch, might as well trade-in any of the other top-tier Wii U games you own before their value plummets. I'm trying to get rid of Smash, Xenoblade X, and 3D World before their potential re-releases are announced.

I did with the EB double trade in thing, it basically gave me the new version for a few bucks. But then my family caught wind so I had to pre-order 2 more copies.
I'll get my revenge on the track!

already did lol..
In november I traded in mario kart 8 and smash wii u to gs recently I purchased both games again for wiiu tired of waiting. I am trying to three star every course in the game every circuit I will buy deluxe in the future just to own it but unless they release new dlc tracks characters for it I cannot see myself playing it much have already invested much time on it. I have doubt nintendo will release a smash wii u port for switch they are making to much money off the dlc on wiiu I heard to have every character stage playable it costs over $100.
God damn, that was some typo.
Though 500 GB can be overkill too, but good luck finding one under 1 TB from one of the good brands.

Yep. Sold mine a month or two ago.
Did this too.
Nope! I played MK8 with my roommates every day during my sernior year of college. Not even exaggerating. Too many memories with that disk. I'll never get rid of it. But I'm really looking forward to getting the Switch version so I can bring it with me the next time I see them!

Already did, along with my Wii U. Couldn't resist Gamestop's trade-in promo for a Switch, though I do regret it somewhat. But knowing Nintendo isn't going to be publishing games elsewhere, figured I might as well. Here's to hoping CEMU validates my decision to unload.
