Honestly they should just keep going with the DLC until they've added every previous character, track and course. They have the power to slowly make this into Ultimate Mario Kart. The Omega Kart. Do it, Nintendo.

Then they wouldn't ever need to make a new Mario Kart game!!!! But seriously, I would keep paying for more DLC. Too bad the long development time makes this seem kind of impossible.

They could maybe continue the biannual DLC format for a couple more years but yeah that is not very realistic.

There's only one Mario Kart per console and we probably won't have anything new until like 2017 so it wouldn't surprise me if they did some more DLC to keep people playing

I forgot this was a thread. Have some patch notes: -9 new Amiibo costumes for your Mii (Sonic, Megaman, Pacman, Olimar, Villager, Wario, Toad, Rosalina, Bowser) -200CC class! It'll be automatically unlocked for all the multiplayer modes but you'll need to clear the 150cc GP to do the 200cc GP. (If you brake while drifiting in 200cc, sparks will fly off your wheels.) -You can now brake while drifting with the Wiimote by pressing B+1+2 -You can toggle the on-screen map display when playing with alternate controllers by pressing the minus button (Pro Controller, Classic Controller, Wiimote/Nunchuk) -You can now toggle CPU players for online custom racers, but only human players count towards the score -10 new Miiverse stamps -unspecified bugfixes They also said the Animal Crossing DLC track will have random seasons during standard play but will be locked to summer during time trials.

Baby Park is 7 laps again and Big Blue is one giant course divided into 3 sections like Mount Wario and Rainbow Road 64 according to GameXplain.

Yeah, Big Blue looked like a 3-parter going off how the stage looks like a huge vertical descent without any way to climb back up. That sax is absolutely amazing though.

Big blue was one of my favourite courses in original Fzero. I loved the music. And I didn't realise the announcement was putting the DLC forward into April, that's amazing!

Now I'm just angry that N64 Rainbow Road isn't two laps, it made sense if they were going for a "Nah we want everything to just have 3 laps/sections and RR is too long for 3 laps" but this throws that out the window. Also disappointed at no Waluigi Pinball but I kinda figured it was pretty unlikely given that it was already a retro track in 7.

Canned Panda posted:I just want the ability to choose lap numbers myself. There's really no reason for this not to be in the options menu. Baby park is pretty lame, both aesthetically speaking and because you only ever make right turns making it super uninteresting to drive on. Item chaos can only take a track so far. Cool retro tracks I'd still like to see in this game include Riverside Park, Rock Rock Mountain/Alpine Pass, DK Mountain, Wario's Shipyard, Waluigi's Pinball, Koopa Cape, any Bowser Castle so there are two bowser castles in this game, and maybe another "motorcross" style track like Waluigi's Stadium. Since, given the series history, it will be many years before a mario kart is released for another home console, I see no reason they can't continue doing DLC every 6 months or so. I guess it depends how much of the teams time it takes up, I assume they make this DLC on the side and it doesn't actually take a full 6 months to make 8 tracks and a couple character models.

jivjov posted:I don't mean rush it and do a shoddy job; I just don't think it took them the whole 6 months to make each back. Nintendo made Majora's Mask in exactly one year. So, they took an existing engine (Ocarina of Time), modified it slightly, reused a lot of art assets, and made a full fledged game. While Nintendo is putting a lot of polish into the Mario Kart tracks, I really think they could pound them out in 1-2 months if they really wanted to. Majora's Mask was made in a year, and that was a full game with all sorts of text and puzzles. These are race tracks. I'm sure Nintendo has some form of a basic level editor and then they go clean it up. No way it takes them 6 months to make 8 tracks; especially considering a lot of the tracks are based on stuff that already exists. The core game engine is there; these are just extra "levels."

Mario Kart is an evergreen title; it would get decent sales and a decent player base pretty much forever...but with a DLC pack on the horizon, suddenly there's people actively talking about the game, actively hyping it up.
