Mario Kart 8 DLC - Page 2

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).

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.

*TheBlueTurtle1* · 08-27-2014, 12:18 AM

I hope and pray, that we get a 3rd and 4th pack, and Bowser Jr and Diddy Kng are added.

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

*XERO* · 08-27-2014, 12:26 AM

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.

Don't mind him. He has a habit of being a walking contradiction.

What does playing online have anything to do with having real-life friends? You play online versus anyone across the globe. You don't need friend codes to play Mario Kart.

*Ninjinister* · 08-27-2014, 01:30 AM

I was on the fence about Mario Kart because while I like it, other than the free GBA version I got on my 3DS I don't own any of the games. I think now, with this DLC I just may pick it up.

*XERO* · 08-27-2014, 01:38 AM

The GBA version is the only one I haven't played yet, besides this one.

I didn't say offline friends. I said friends -- both on and off the internet.

I don't get any enjoyment out of playing with randoms online. I play with friends.

As a bonus for purchasing both packs bundled or individually, buyers receive eight new colors for Yoshi and Shy Guy. Those who advance purchase both packs can begin using the Yoshi and Shy Guy characters immediately

Link and the other characters are on the select screen as well, but the are blacked out. Gonna go buy this now, So i can pick that awesome pale blue Yoshi I always loved!

One thing that bothers me a little, and thats Skrull Bowser, we have all Those awesome Koopa Kids, and the main Bowser, but no Bowser Jr, and thats who we need to finish them off.

I guess he was added to balance out the weight class, but if that was the case DK jr, or Funky Kong would have been a much better choice.

Its especially odd because Bowser Jr. is in Smash, along with all 7 Koopalings as his alternate costumes.

Really, Diddy and Bowser Jr. not being in this game is the biggest oddity.

There's no way he's not autistic. To be so laser focused and narrow minded on such a specific thing? For sure. I feel bad for him at this point.

LOL, I'm probably one of the few people on this forum who has never been diagnosed with autism/asperger's syndrome. Usually autistic people get angry when things don't go their way, I'm merely pointing it out.

Peanut · 08-27-2014, 12:22 PM

I notice this is one of the only things you ever acknowledge/reply to. Odd, isn't it?

Confirmed. Feel bad for him, guys.
