I could watch this all day.
Smash Link is full-on Twilight Princess. The colors were just brightened to go with the art style of Smash 4.
He's less "Skyward Sword" in Smash, and more Twilight Princess.
In Mario Kart 8 he's in the Skyward Sword camp.

Boomerang and bombs actually dont make link seem so out of place.

If this was actually a leak, they would have taken it down, like the Smash Bros stuff.

Unless these completely bomb, there's no way they stop at two.
It literally sold out. There may be more.

Nintendo has a leaking problem l, they should really get a Plummer for that.

You're showing Smash Link's one good side. His face is totally busted from the front.

Well they do have to move that staff to the 2015-2016 games. They also won't inundate the game past a certain point.

'leak' is misleading, more of an unintentional screw up that put the information up early... that said, since the leak was internal instead of external there is little reason to try and seal that genie back into it's bottle.
Dead and buried where it belongs!

That's a fair point, but I imagine it would be worth their while to keep some staff on MK DLC duty at least through next holiday.
Sadly, it likely means nothing. When someone asked Miyamoto in an interview about the potential return of F-Zero (due to the inclusion of F-Zero being in NintendoLand), Miyamoto was like, people still want that game to be made? Well, look forward to playing F-Zero in Nintendoland!
I just want to hear his Victory Quotes. Seeing how half the characters just babble, I think he'd fit in there, too!
... Although, even though I doubt the Villager will speak, will Isabelle still make Animalese noises that can be translated into individual characters like in Animal Crossing? That'd be pretty cool! (Sorry if my post sounded so angry that I disliked this, by the way. It just still irks me that they pushed other characters out of the way to make such a disappointing roster, and the non-crossover racers are all adding to that problem, even though Dry Bowser's justified in my book).
I'm really hoping they go hogwild with the F-Zero & Excitebike levels, by the way. The Zelda/Animal Crossing ones might feel half-tacked on like the Zelda/Yoshi/NiGHTS DLC for Sonic Lost World (This is a guess, but it I can't see them getting too crazy with an Animal Crossing course, and I can see them getting lazy with a Zelda one), but F-Zero and Excitebike are already vehicle-based games in their own right, and they tie in beautifully with Mario Kart.

My goodness .. dream came true!
I think since it was on their actual store site, that it is pretty much official, no point in taking it down I guess. or no rush.

Edit: This DLC sounds/looks pretty damn awesome; I'm ready to jump back in.

Right. But there's a difference (I can reluctantly agree with) between being spoiled about unlockable characters in a game you bought/are going to buy, and being spoiled about additional DLC content. What would the alternative be? Charge people money for additional, undisclosed content? "Buy the mystery pack for $20!"

How would we know it was not intentional, though?

Man, Nintendo should take this opportunity to add traditional battle mode race courses. A remake of N64' Block Fort would be much appreciated. I guess Reggie must be rolling his eyes at some of our comments about how fans are insatiable. Thank you, but give us more. Well, Reggie, your right. Give us more, please.
I could see this being a thing >_>

You can either buy our two DLC bundles which include Link, Villager and 16 courses, or you can have what's inside the box
People have been digging through the game files and there's only 16 slots for new tracks.
It's still unknown how many slots Nintendo has for characters, car parts, or a possible battle mode but in terms of race tracks 16 dlc seems to be it. There's also costume slots but I would guess that's tied to amiibo.

Please add Kirby as well, Nintendo!
Kirby/Pokemon/Starfox/Xenosaga seems like a pretty slam dunk lineup if they do a DLC round 2.
Good. One more step closer to smash kart. I remember the last time a topic about such a subject was made in GAF and there were a bunch of people saying the art style of other Nintendo games wouldn't fit or that Nintendo shouldn't do it because somehow it'll devalue the other brands. Interested to see how those people are reacting to this.
This is probably the worst post in the history of Internet.

People are so whiny, might as well avoid gaming side then if Mario spoilers make you mad.

Because Nintendo announces big things in Directs or at least directly on their websites or in interviews... They don't 'announce' things via a single entry in their UK online store.
