Guys I think you're missing the most important part here which is Animal Crossing and Legend of Zelda are in the same canon as Mario???

Legend of Zelda has been referenced in a lot of the more recent Mario games and Mario has been cameo-ing in Zelda games since a Link to the Past.

Animal Crossing also has a bunch of references to both series.

Wario Colosseum or whatever in Mario Kart Double Dash was the best level but they only made it two laps for some reason. :(

Because it was long but you are correct in that it was the best track and Nintendo needs to stop being a jerk and release it for this (hopefully in these DLC packs).

This isn't the Golf model at all though. You still paid full price for Mario Kart.


Golf was cut down in price, so if you bought it and all the DLC you only paid $5 over your average 3DS game.

I paid $30 for Mario Kart 8 and $30 for Pikmin 3 :colbert:

Also pretty sure I paid full price for Mario Kart 64 with only 16 tracks. A Mario Kart game with 48 tracks is a huge loving deal to me.

With the way things have been going in terms of news coming out of Nintendo in recent times, I now fully expect Shigeru Miyamoto himself to post a reply in this thread, quoting you and replying "yes, you can upload your villager from New Leaf."

im honestly seeing nothing about this track that makes it special vs most of the tracks in mk8? it's just a thousand drifts and a few jumps but maybe antigrav could make it worth a poo poo

I sort of think they may have more DLC packs planned for down the line sometime eventually.

There were signs on the courses that referenced Dry Bowser and he got in, and there is at least one sign referencing Birdo. I sort of don't think they'd leave out Bowser Jr. if they are adding to the roster either.

Plus some Metroid or Kirby rep in the future would be pretty great.

They aren't. It's pretty hosed up. They need Birdo, Kamek, Wart, there's like a million non-babies that could be there. My only real complaint with the game.

Kamek and Wart would be cool, I'm just mad staples whove been in since Double Dash are gone from a console release. I just thought I hadn't unlocked everybody yet.

Nintendo of America has confirmed the DLC with their own pricing info.

http://mariokart8.nintendo.com/dlc/

$11.99 for both packs is a fantastic deal. Also, it's a whole Triforce cup, apparently, instead of just one token course.

So apparently a bundle of both DLC packs together will be available in the US for only $12. I'll say that's a drat good price, I wonder when they'll announce the prices for continental Europe.
EDIT: drat, beaten by mere seconds...

Then the Smash DLC hits in August 2015. :unsmigghh:

considering how we're seeing Excitebike and F-Zero courses, I assume the Triforce cup is based on NES/SNES games, and the Leaf cup will be based on Gamecube and onward games, with the other two being classic cups. Of course, I could be way off here, so who knows.

Not even that much, really. Yoshi cup logo looks way different than it did on the leaked icons.
