Hey, does the WiiU emulator for VC titles do anything special, like speed up or quick save? Or are all the ports straight ports?

Baby Park 200cc 12 players is going to be absolutely insane. I am guessing it will just be a random winner every time and skill will go totally out the window.

One cup's worth new tracks and one cup's worth of retro seems pretty standard; that's the same distribution the core, unDLC'd game had. And its not like they were ported over with no changes; some of the retro stages are hardly recognizable after the upgrades.

I wish you could edit number the laps in Mario Kart. 100 laps Baby Park frantic items 200cc sounds crazy.

Have you ever played Mario Kart? For the last n number of releases 1 cup was new, 1 cup was retro.

I can understand why they hardly ever go back to the SNES stages for potential stage remasters. With all the work they'd be putting into them it's like they'd be making an entirely new stage, so why not just make a new stage at that point? At least the GBA game has stages with pretty interesting and varied themes they're able to expand on.

I do like how the SNES stage for 8 was handled; what with the rainbow block walls and the like. I wouldn't have minded one more SNES track.

Maybe this pair of DLC packs was successful enough to warrant another set..

At E3, Nintendo will announce that they are releasing DLC which will completely transform Mario Kart 8 into F-Zero, bringing the franchise back full circle.

Nostalgia Goggles, mainly. Excitebike Arena is the same drat thing done better.

Happy to see the GBA version get some love though. Super Circuit is a really interesting mix of SNES and 64 kart.

In double dash there were giant items like the bowser shell and banana as well as waves of fire and other stupid horseshit. There wasn't a railing in the middle either and you had 7 laps so entire time normal shells and bowser shells were ping-ponging loving everywhere and it was chaos.

They brought it back in DS and it sucked because it went to 5 laps and there were no such crazy items

Now it's back again and it has rails in the middle locking out the only unique thing about it so it's junk.
