Re: Mario Kart 8

Update's been live for a couple hours now. Pretty fun, Mercedes-Benz karts aren't anything special but they're fun to use, and Battle Mode is made slightly more bearable with the onscreen map (now you at least know where everyone is).

Re: Mario Kart 8

According to articles I've seen, each DLC pack will include 8 new tracks (one cup of new tracks, one cup of classics). One of which was said to take place in Hyrule
Lanayru Desert from Skyward Sword needs to be there. It'll be fun to suddenly jump into the emptiness of the sandsea when all of a sudden one of those time-altering artifacts makes water appear and your kart turns into a hover. Another idea could be an erupting Death Mountain.

Re: Mario Kart 8

When did Super smash bros series get their own Kart game all out of a sudden? *after seeing linkin and Animal crossing character* o_o
When Links final smash broke the boundary between them allowing them to invade.

Re: Mario Kart 8

This is the only kind of DLC that I can get on board with.

Re: Mario Kart 8 - now including Link

The update is pretty nice so far, I hope I can end up playing with my friends again since we all stopped playing pretty shortly after release. We played mkwii a ton but couldn't do the same for 7 or 8.
The DLC is soooo far away though, and the second set is even farther away, just let me play as Isabelle already!

I can only pray that cuccos will somehow be an obstacle on the course and that hitting more than one of them will cause a swarm to attack you.

Termina, wondering why everyone looks familiiar
Re: Mario Kart 8 - now including Link

So, after this update, they changed the order that the 'View Highlights' and 'Next Race' buttons were in. Of course, it makes more sense the way it is now, but I was so used to it before, I always scroll down one by habit, and end up picking the wrong option

Better yet make it a weapon that lets you send a hoard of cuccos at an enemy~

Mario Kart 8's first dlc coming in late November

While an official launch date for Mario Kart 8′s first downloadable pack has yet to be confirmed, a recent listing on the Wii U eShop confirms said DLC is scheduled for a late November release. Mario Kart 8′s first DLC includes three new characters (Link, Tanooki Mario, and Cat Peach), four new karts (the Blue Falcon, B Dasher, Master Cycle, and the Tanooki Kart), in addition to eight new tracks, two of which being the Yoshi Circuit and Excitebike Area.

As to the other DLC:

Additionally, Mario Kart 8′s second DLC called ‘Animal Crossing X Mario Kart 8′ will be released by the “end of May 2015,” and it includes characters like the Animal Crossing Villager, Isabelle, and Dry Bowser, in addition to four new karts and eight new tracks. Customers can purchase said packs individually for $7.99, or they can get them both at a discounted price of $11.99.

Damn. Isn't that just too far out?

Re: Mario Kart 8 - now including Link

The dlc is pretty awesome. My favorite new kart is the f-zero one. Hyrule Circuit and Mute City are both fun courses.
