Excitebike Arena isn't as conducive for absolute chaos as Baby Park. That's why we need Baby Park.

Does the second DLC have a release date? I hadn't played MK8 in a couple months and was surprised it still wasn't out when I booted it up last weekend.
April 23rd.

It'll be out later this month. It was pushed up from May.

We all spend the race getting punched out by mechanical crabs and mantis' and it goes for one lap more than you expect it to.

MK8 doesn't really have the items Double Dash had to make it crazy. Unless they decide to add the Bowser Shell as an item in the DLC.
You're right. It has 200cc instead.
You clearly don't play in GAF rooms.

GAF Excitebike is true brutality.
I remember when the first DLC dropped in November and you tell yourself it's gonna be such a long time until the next pack and it's already here.

Technically, wouldn't Japanese internal files call it Animal_Forest?
Oh, I was trying to say why I believe you are correct to be sceptical. Because few people know the method to datamine no one can confirm nor deny any of the info allegedly hidden in the files thus much of it has to be taken with a grain of salt, especially when it's just text rather than image or video.

I'm glad they're letting DS's retro stages finally get a fair shake though.
DS's retro stages were awkward. SNES, GBA and N64 were basically ports and GCN were seriously downgraded. A lot of great stages were taken out of the pool with DS, so it's nice they're open to actually remaking the tracks instead of ignoring them because DS had them in it (even if they were direct ports or awkward de-makes)

the first dlc pack came in november 13, but the guy datamined the game in november 24. In his datamine, all of the stages released have accurate names, the one "unreleased" according to him only have accurate names for retro tracks. The actual new tracks are called, animal (for ANIMAL crossing lol), metro, and woods (because in the dlc preview image, we have a track in the woods).
I mean, i don't mind having baby park, or anything, these tracks are cool, but i wouldn't put a loooot of faith in this "datamine".
I really want three franchise tracks, one for animal crossing and other two, maybe a starfox track pls?

If the guy was making shit up, why not make up 8 tracks? Why just 5? Sounds somewhat legit IMHO.
Huh? Next Thursday is correct, referring to next week obviously (not this Thursday).
Technically, wouldn't Japanese internal files call it Animal_Forest?
Yeah, forgot about that.
Still doesn't change the fact they're just using "Animal" and not the full name (which was my point).
Anyway, cautiously optimistic about that. Besides, only two weeks until we find out, so... Well, less than 2 weeks actually, they're going to reveal them before the pack is released... hopefully!
This. For some reason I always loved that track.
I really like Neo Bowser City in Mario Kart 7. It's a very simple track but I enjoy the look of it and can easily imagine how good it would look on the Wii U. It's a short track though and they'd likely have to extend some areas. There are some turns you have to drift around (or get left behind) that have no railings or sides that would be almost impossible in 200cc and maybe even 150cc if players are really aggressive during that part of the race.
I never played Mario Kart Double Dash so I have no idea about Baby Park.

I'll just be happy if we get a 3 / 5 split on retro / original courses again, as long as the returning retro courses are utilising the new mechanics of MK8 better than the last lot did. The original courses really shone in the last DLC pack, so that's the part I'm most hyped for.

No they didn't, because Neo Bowser City is called Koopa City in Japan. This was confirmed fake months ago. Another fine piece of gaming journalism from GoNintendo. Assuming that's where the OP found this, since they posted it earlier. To be honest, I hope Neo Bowser City returns at some point, but Baby Park would be unplayable with 12 players, much more so on 200cc. Give me a GBA retro track that isn't a circuit or castle, dammit. I'd love to see Ribbon Road or Cheese Land in glorious HD.

I see, i just thought it was really odd to have the released tracks with specific names, but the upcoming ones have simple names.
But the guy who said that he datamined the game was the us release or jp release?
This. Besides, excite bike is more or less modern baby park anyway.
But to be fair, other filenames don't really match up with the actual Japanese names. As an example, as Robin pointed out above, "CAKE" refers to Sweet Sweet Canyon, which in Japanese is translated as "Sweets Canyon".
He says he found it from the MKWii forums.
Anyway, I don't want Baby Park as DLC. It's not a good course outside of DD. What made it amazing in DD was the item selection. Excitebike fulfills the same needs as Baby Park does. We don't need two courses that are basically the same design except the only difference between them is how long they are in length and jumps/boosts.
If any GCN track should come in this pack, it's Wario Colosseum. Seriously. PRIME ant-gravity track right there. I mean, COME ON! I don't even care if Wario has like 3 tracks to his name already in the game, Wario Colosseum has to happen now or it never will.

I'm in the camp that they're going to give us three handheld retro courses, since all of the retro tracks from the last DLC pack originated from console games. In that case, I want GBA Ribbon Road, DS Waluigi Pinball, and 3DS Shy Guy Bazaar.
Search your feelings... you know one of them has to be GBA bowser castle 4. /s
What made Baby Park amazing in Double Dash is totally absent in Mario Kart 8.
Unless they mess with the track layout, you will only get a poor man's Excitebike ripoff
I'm kind of shocked people fail to see that.

i just want fuckin' someting from super circuit. they've managed to exhaust pretty much all the boring tracks from that game, so they're bound to give us one of the good ones soon... right?

Maybe they're reintroducing the bowser shell as an item.
