That's $20.
Am I the only one who's actually kind of annoyed? I mean, I'm hype as hell for the crossover stuff (Hoping all the F-Zero teasing means that they're building up to a full-on F-Zero character pack), and new stages are great
, but Tanooki Mario and Cat Peach? Seriously? Dry Bowser's slightly less bad, but why are we getting him, too? Now we have 2 Bowsers (10 Turtles), 3 Peaches, and 3 Marios!
I was hoping for DLC we'd see neglected Mario characters like Wart or Pauline, or even spin-off characters like Vivian or Mona. When the hell are we getting Diddy? Jr.? Birdo? I think we came to a consensus that Diddy Kong Racing U was little more than a happy rumor, and thus in no way has to do with us not having Diddy, right? Especially now that this is treading on its territory, so instead of being newer, lower-key characters fighting for the top, like Dillon, Mallo, Tempo, or Wonder Red (Why is he lower-key, by the way?), it's just Smash Kart? Ugh... The characters they cut to cram in half a roster's worth of babies, turtle kids, and T-1000s (And now furries, I guess) better be quick-and-dirty DLC in-between, because May 2015 is a hell of a long ways off.
Wario's Gold Mine being ass aside

I'm guessing because, cool as he is, he can't do a whole lot without the other 99.
He may be the main character, but W101 makes the emphasis on teamwork explicit, both in theme and gameplay.
I did a double take when I saw the "increases the number of available courses by 50 percent" thing, but it's for real. Amazing value.
When this thing is done, we'll have 48 distinct courses in a Mario Kart game. That's incredible.

Understanding a reference and re-using it in the same thread I had never seen that combo yet.

Holy Zeus, I really hope Corneria is one of those unrevealed tracks.
No one said it's going to be $30.
Yeah, $20 is the max. NSLU was an entire game's worth of new levels, and that was just $20. Half a Mario Kart isn't going to be more expensive.

Not super happy to have spoilers put into thread titles.

A course and a kart do not an F Zero game make.
This better be a hint.

God's in heaven.
I may just have to buy a Wii U and MK8 just for that Link DLC.

LIFE COMPLETE.
Imagine the possibilities for future updates of this. This is so damn hype.
I can totally see a Pikmin DLC adding Olimar, Birdo and Diddy Kong coming. Maybe even a Metroid one (
). I wouldn't be surprised by third party ones, like Sonic or Mega Man. The possibilites are just too much!

Whoever gave him that tag was a genius.
This is what I was thinking as well. They could have pulled the same old and pulled out old characters no one but the hardcore would know, or they could go all in on the new audience they've been nurturing with the 3DS and the Wii.

Not sure what's funny about being spoiled on Mario Kart 8's plot.
Link death stare FTW?
...Link is giving me some smash 4 toon link vibes lol.
Well, this is surprising news. I'd like to see Dixie Kong added to the roster, but the inclusion of Isabelle is an acceptable substitute. It would be cool to see others characters and levels based on say, Pikmin 3 too. Anyway, I think it is smart of Nintendo do to this as a way to keep one of his flagship titles relevant on an annual basis,and will naturally further help drive software sales in the long run.

There is actually a group of people around here who get pissy about Mario Kart, Smash Bros, and Super Mario "spoilers".

This game. My wallet hates it, makes me want to buy a Wii U D:
Nintendo DLC.
So good it can even run out of stock.
Yeah, I was actually kinda being serious. Except for the Ugh part.
I think this is definitely supposed to appeal to girls, mostly younger I would guess. And maybe Link for the older ones....? Dunno. If it gets a TV ad we'll see for sure.
So Diddy Kong would be worthless for that. It's starting to make sense.

I have $10AU sitting in my eshop account. Really hoping for $9.95 price.
Hoping against hope.
