I want a Hyrule castle arena.

Also give us back block fort it's amazing that they don't understand that they should never remove blockfort ever. Like even 343 understands to never remove bloodgultch from halo.

I would take even the bottom of the barrel characters like Candy Kong than another Mario variant.

yeah or some Zelda characters considering the name of the pack anyway

"Hey guys, buy the Mario Kart 8 x The Legend of Zelda DLC pack today!"

*pack includes one Zelda character, stage, and vehicle*

*also includes 2 characters, 15 stages and a bunch of other new vehicles that have absolutely nothing to do with Zelda*

I mean let's face it, sonic racing transformed wasn't bashful at all about their crossovers and it owned bones, even the ultra weird additions like that total war guy and the football manager ruled in the context of somehow being in a big goofy mascot racing game

this is how they get you flaccid in regards to a new f-zero game. don't let the cute sound effects and attention to mute city fool you, there will never be another f-zero game and you know it.

actually, all their dlc usually comes in just one big pack, like an oldschool expansion pack to a pc game or something. theres never microtransactions or loads of 99 cent alternate costumes or stuff like that. it's all pretty substantial stuff that adds replayability to a game a while after its release. Like this game for instance!!

I really don't like Tanookie Mario or Cat Peach being passed off for new characters.

like yeah they look more unique than Metal Mario or Pink Gold Peach, but those guys sucked to begin with.

I would have rather had some other guy who doesn't already have variations of himself in the game already. Because you have the useless and stupid Babies as well.

Yeah, like Petey Pirahna, for instance.

Yeah they've done a great job with all their DLC, its really what I thought DLC was gonna be when the concept first came out years and years ago.

the new mario 2 dlc was kinda expensive and weird and i think that was their first big dlc attempt

maybe that went badly and they considered better ways of doing it

Did you know he was supposed to be in Mario Kart Wii, and there's even leftover data of him still on the disc? I think overall that Funky Kong is probably a better heavyweight racer, though. I'd like to see them both return, but I think that's way too tall of an order.

Yeah,the season pass for hyrule warriors is called the "Hero of Hyrule Pack" or something,which makes it sound epic.

i hope this is the start of super smash kart. kinda crazy how sakurai can fit 45ish different characters with unique movesets and a few clones in his game but mario kart 8 has just 36 which just go in different weight classes, and 8 of them are different versions of mario or peach

Not really Funky Kong and Donkey Kong have shared rigs in every game they've been in together which would make transferring any basic animations pretty easily. It's no more of an effort than making the Koopa Kids which also share rigs between each other.

Every character drives very similar. there are no special abilities that set them apart. That being said, skyrim dlc creates new narrative and dialogue. MK dlc brings about new tracks that make you drive in a different wiggly circle than before. and only 3 at that. Nintendo dlc just doesn't seem worth the cost. If anything it should be free or at least one price for both dlc. The value does not exist. It's just ripping off their fanboys.

The concept is that you're being charged a nickel here, a dime there, and by the time you're done you've spent mountains of spare change. Not to mention when that phrase originated those were somewhat larger amounts than today.
