[Cure]

No Ridley? Disgusting.

Cool! I don't have MK8 cause I don't have a Wii U but my friend does and he's a HUGE Zelda fan so he'll be excited for Link.

16 brand new tracks in DLC, that's basically the same as a new Mario Kart sans retro tracks.

Man, to think Nintendo could have saved those tracks for Mario Kart 9 and are instead making them now is amazing.

holeee shiiit

16 whole new tracks. SIXTEEN! And I get to play as Link.

Awesome.

[TigerClaw]

I wonder if the the new tracks are themed on Legend of Zelda and Animal Crossing.

Okay, NOW I'm excited for this game. I usually pass Mario Kart games up but I'll have to grab this one.

You pass up Mario Kart games? They're usually the best games on every Nintendo console/handheld they come out for.

Yeah, because I don't have any friends to play them with. There's little sense in buying a Mario Kart game to play it by myself. As it is, I only have one friend that has a Wii U right now.

I have had chances to play most of them, usually at some party or something, and that's usually good enough for me. I tend to buy Nintendo for Pokémon first and foremost.

I disagree. I love the Grand Prix and Time Trial modes in Mario Kart games.

By the way, the F Zero games are arguably even better than Mario Kart, especially GX. A new F Zero game is way overdue.

I don't enjoy the one-player modes in Mario Kart very much.

You do realize Mario Kart has had online since the DS game back in 2005, right?

[XERO]

I'm so late. I still haven't played it yet. Pretty awesome, though.

Of course I realise that, you dolt.

It doesn't change the fact that almost none of my friends had any of the games.

Unless I'm mistaken (and I might be) each pack costs £7 here in the UK. Still fantastic pricing, but another example of the EU being screwed given both packs cost $12 total in the States (as said above).

I love more tracks and karts, but the characters, aside from Link and Dry Bowser are annoying. Do we really need another Mario and Peach when they've already got three variations each in the main game??

[sdp]

Oh Tanooki Mario and Cat Peach are definitely BS additions, they should be only alternate costumes instead of a "faster" Mario or whatever they decide because he's wearing the Tanooki suit. It's almost as bad as Pink Gold Peach, Jesus what the **** where they thinking. I mean Dry Bowser could be considered a different character so he gets a pass and if you want variations of other characters to give another "character" without the trouble of actually doing it then Nintendo could definitely dig a little deeper, I mean Cosmic Mario IS a different character and its just as imple skin swap. I'd be OK with a Cosmic Peach or whatever but not the same character.

You don't see anyone complaining about Cat Peach/Tanooki Mario because we're basically getting half of another game for only 12 bucks, so yeah, They're BS additions but its like saying the free complementary drink you got wasn't the flavor you preferred. I hope we get two more DLC packs after this ones if they're successful so we get a "full" second game" of MK this generation. If I could choose one of the two Nintendo characters to come I'd choose Kirby since I wanted him since the Smash trailer with the Mario Kart stage.

I'm surprised Link got in but Kirby didn't after the Rosalina trailer. On the topic of a Nintendo Kart, I'd love it. They don't even have to change the name. Just keep it Mario Kart since it's already an established franchise. Just throw in a few non-mario characters. I don't mean anything crazy like Smash Bros with Ganondorf or niche franchises like Earthbound, just a bunch of recognizable Nintendo characters.

I never really cared about other characters appearing in Mario Kart, but after 7 and its roster of characters like Wiggler, Lakitu and Bee from ONE single star mission in Mario Galaxy, I'd much rather have a selection of Nintendo characters instead of a selection of filler Mario characters using a certain flavor of the month. MKW had the Kongs and 8 has the koopalings and the babies.
