A Frantic 200cc DLC room would be best for tomorrow.

Did we come to any conclusions about rooms? One 200cc all tracks, one 150cc just new tracks? Whoever gets in first, make some rooms and post it up.

By far the most reliable way to get into races is to join a friend who's already in the room, so add some goons to your friends list. I'm pokeyman if you want to add me.

I'm Kaethela, add me! This goes to all of you, I want crazy 200cc shenanigans with you people.

First thing I saw when I went on the eShop just now was a big "Add-On Content Available Now!" banner for the new DLC but the page for it still says May. No sign of the update either.

e: this site says pre-update maintenence is happening from now until an hour and 10 away so should be just after then I guess

Same here!

I'm going to gently caress my VR and get my feet wet with 200cc online. Maybe even on the new tracks... No, that's too much.

Edit: oh, drag. That update was just the 200cc update. The DLC prompts to download once you launch the game, and clocks in at 1.8gb. Time to delete... Something...

Big Blue confirmed for one of the hypest tracks in the series. That was so good. drat. As an Animal Crossing fan since the start that track is just wonderfully simple too. :) DLC was worth the wait.

That seems like something they'd fix in a future update if enough people asked for it, although maybe it'd mess with people who didn't have the DLC.

The new tracks are absolutely gorgeous. Wild Woods and the updated Ribbon Road are like the best-looking Mario Kart tracks ever.

Here's something else they should fix in a future update: battle mode.

Narcissus1916
Apr 29, 2013

They've clearly decided to let battle mode rot.

The lack of a full track vs battle run (for local multiplayer) just feels like an oversight.

New tracks are pretty. So drat pretty.

ETA: Dear lord. 200CC. Even on the beginning tracks its a bit insane. I struggled with sweet sweet park, for instance. Best I can tell there are jumps where you DONT want to boost off of, because of how far they fling you.

HOPPED ONLINE. IMMEDIATELY TRIED 200CC. ROOM TRIES MUTE CITY. LIFE GOOD. SO FAST.

I'm liking these ones way better than the previous DLC (not that I didn't like them). I've only played Subway once but the rest of them just so feel so... right. In first, I lapped a guy on Baby Park and nailed him with a green shell as I went past. Hilarious.

Also, coming first on a track you've never played before kicks rear end.

I think the first DLC still has the best tracks (Mute City, Hyrule Circuit), but this DLC has a stronger spread of tracks overall. There's no weak poo poo like Dragon Driftway dragging things down here.

I think I finally got 200cc down, especially after abandoning using the right stick for accelerate and starting to use Y instead for much better brake control. And Big Blue loving rules.

But holy poo poo mushrooms are a penalty and not a bonus in 200cc. They're a guaranteed express ticket to wallsville.

Just wanna add that 200cc Baby Park is a literal battlefield. People have died on this track.
