When I first saw it, I thought Link was photoshopped...

Wait. Wasn't the Egg cup found in the game files? Along with the Boo, Shine, and Spiny cup? Were those just placeholders or is there even more DLC to come?
Probably the former.

Well possibly placeholders or just beta icons. I posted a few pictures on the MK8 talk page showing the DLC cup info and it shows the Character icons and Cup icons. The Yoshi Egg Cup is fully complete with the 2D styled art and details the 8 Main Cup icons have. Well I could expect at least 2 more DLC packs after these 2 and the Mercedes one.

Not related to DLC.
Mrbean made a 3-lap N64 Rainbow Road. The video is roughly 5 minutes which means the course is not as long as the one in the original being over 6 minutes.

EDIT: Those pictures I mentioned are on the thread so you can compare the Yoshi Egg Cup to the one found in the game's files. No need to go to the MK8 talk page

Excited for tracks and vehicles

Characters are fine, except for Tanooki Mario and Cat Peach, which are sheet choices.

But seriously, ----ing Baby Luigi in an F-Zero, Link, Animal Crossing track? I think my fantasies have come true.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8 DLC leaked

Where's another Mario character when you want them? Dry Bowser should be good though. Link looks really interesting.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8 DLC leaked

Everything about this DLC is amazing... 'cept for those colored Yoshis. They are shit.

But I never knew that I'd be choosing from not only Mario, Metal Mario, and Baby Mario, but also friggin' Tanooki Mario as well. They're all godly characters. I admit, I'll use Tanooki Mario much more than the more requested Mario characters, so on my own perspective, it's more of a benefit.

But we also get Link in a motorbike, only seemingly available in my fantasies. Gasp, it has become reality.

Isabelle is really nice. I'll look forward to using her too.

Finally, more tracks and more vehicles. That's always a good thing, especially from high quality producers that know how to manage DLC.

Really, Nintendo's DLC management should be held in high regard, especially in a world of shady DLC practices. This should be the standard, so thank you so much, Nintendo. :)
 
Re: Mario Kart 8 DLC leaked

For those who are concerned about the lack of heaps of DD+Wii veterans, remember we don't know anything about how this game will use amiibo yet.

I think it's very likely that Smash 4's Bowser Jr. and Diddy Kong figures will unlock them in Mario Kart 8. I don't know about other missing characters though, they'll probably get figurines specifically for Mario Kart 8 if at all.

On a separate note given that I've loved this game's soundtrack so far I can't wait to hear the music for the 16 DLC tracks, another reason as to why I don't like how Wario's Gold Mine is returning rather than Wario's Colosseum because Sega already did a remix in London 2012.

It is just a tiny bonus for those who purchase both packs so I don't have any complaints here myself.

Nothing wrong about the bundle itself. It's just that my sister and I have a very strict policy when it comes red team/blue team matchups (Yoshi is never allowed on our team, the red team, and Wario must be present, in the blue team). We're concerned that the colored Yoshis appear as bots, especially during the random teammate selection. It makes me shudder about the RNG's behavior if that happens.

BTW we need additional teams other than Mario Supermotors Team and Lord Bowser.

I think that could be the MK8 DLC Season Pass.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8 DLC leaked

Seeing as how murderous the Villager is in Smash I wonder whether he'll carry that trait over here
 
Re: Mario Kart 8 DLC leaked

I'm kind of bummed out that the second pack is coming in May 2015 but as long as it's quality content I can wait.

I'm pretty sure Nintendo would only make it so only one colour of either would be allowed in a race for CPUs, unless human players pick Yoshi or Shy Guy, in which case none would make it.

Yes, still full of Rosalina/Morton/any heavy character. People prefer to win than having fun.
I usually pick Rosalina to have fun. Personally, I don't give a fuck if I win or lose.

It's such a shame that the only new character to usually be seen online will be Dry Bowser, due to him being heavyweight. I would love to see 10 Isabelles, but whatever.

"oh no, not a free bonus that i don't have to use!"
 
Oh, yeah, the cup icons present here can only mean that there is even more DLC down the road. Awesome.
 
I don't understand how anyone could like the idea of non-Mario characters getting into a Mario spinoff and stealing the chances of more obscure Mario characters getting any love. Different strokes I suppose. Guess I need to pray for Fawful or Mr. L DLC...

nobody cares about fawful or brainwashed luigi
 
ok this is really a minor problem
but the fact that even after you've bought the DLC the icons for the new characters and cups still show on the selection screens really ticks me off
I mean I've already paid Nintendo stop rubbing the fact I don't have it yet in my face

You really can't see why people wouldn't want to play as the villager, isabelle or fucking LINK!?

Are you really that daft?

Its MARIO Kart.
 
It could be called Inspector Gadget kart and people would still be more excited for the DLC characters.

Most people do not care about your niche characters and they will NEVER get into Mario Kart.
