Ohhhh yes. Amazing new tracks, and the 200 cc!!!!
I love Babypark. I can't believe people calling it lazy. It's simple, yes. Just a round track. But the amount of chaos it causes is just soo much fun. To earn your high rank on this track time after time is really showing skill.
I guess it's a traumatic track for some people.

Other than Baby Park, that's another set of fantastic tracks. One of the best games of all time just got better - again.
Can't believe we're seeing Ribbon Road and Cheese Land again. Those two tracks always felt like something from a cheap Mario Kart knock-off in terms of theme and design - and that strangeness was a large part of their charm. Well, Cheese Land did anyway. But as racetracks they were excellent. So it's great to see Nintendo finally bring them back. Two of the most unique and original looking tracks in the series, and by the looks of it they've really done them justice. Ribbon Road looks spectacular.
Those music videos are incredible too, as usual. The talent at Nintendo is almost hard to believe. Just sad that I've been without my Wii U since the new year and will be until late July. Gah!

May I have a cookie?
my thoughts as well. If they release battle mode DLC with stages from MK DS that would seal the deal
I stand by my prediction that GX HD with online is coming at some point
someone educate me why MK8 gets better level environments than the mainline Mario games. These forest and ribbon tracks look so nice
yeah, but ... it's just not the same without giant green shells

Probably because mainline Mario games have way, way, way more levels (obviously, since it's a completely different type of game) and so it wouldn't be feasible to put this much detail into every level.
And it's not supposed to be the same. It's a good thing.

LOL @ all the people who said the rumour wasn't worth discussing. ALL the rumoured tracks are there:
3DS_NEOBOWSERCITY = 3DS Neo Bowser/Koopa City
GC_BABYPARK = GCN Baby Park
WU_ANIMAL = Animal Crossing
WU_METRO = Super Bell Subway
WU_WOODS = Wild Woods
For Baby Park... as said in the locked thread (because OMG fake), I loved it on Gamecube but I'm not sure the track makes sense with Mario Kart 8 items, even though the anti gravity bumping will probably make it quite fun. We'll see.

Well the tracks looked like absolute ass on the GBA, no wonder it got transformed
Not a fan of the completely bumpy road though. This is gonna be a TT nightmare

I was really hoping for a Ridley Bike but the Bowser Trike will have to do and it is kind of purple I guess...
Part of me really wonders if difficulties in it working online in its current form are a reason why the franchise is shelved. In Mario Kart falling off the course is harder than in F-Zero where one good side attack usually does the trick and the consequences are greater.
30 player online? In a racing game where contact is a thing and matters greatly. I don't think this a good idea. Will get mega salty as you get telekinetically get rammed off the course because one of your players decided to leave a torrent running[/itl] (p.s.note thread title was a modedit) while playing MK as the game doesn't lag like SSB by pausing the game every 2 seconds.

N3DSfanboy or whatever his name that was the source was said it was all made up a week ago...then continued discussing it anyway. The source was trash in that perspective which was why the rumor wasn't worth discussing. If it come from credilar, mr.bean (I totally spelled those names wrong) or someone else with reputation for hacking Wii U and datamining it would be worth discussing.
Upgrades from Mode 7-style tracks - SNES and GBA ones - are much bigger overhauls than updates from polygonal tracks, so from my POV there's two classics, two overhauls and four new tracks this time around, and that's fine by me!

I want to believe. Nintendo keeps teasing us with these F-Zero tracks. This has to lead up to something, right!?
We're never getting a new F-Zero, are we?
Nintendo kept teasing us with majora's mask so.....

But it all ended up being true. It really can't be a coincidence.

He sarcastically said it was all made up, writing what people wanted to hear all along, but then ended with "But no, seriously, it's real". People didn't quote the last part, sadly.

Note to every developer out there: this is how you do DLC. The amount of quality content versus the price you pay is absolutely mind-blowing. Time to get back to MK8, which is - dare I say it? - the best Mario Kart of all time.
Heh, yeah, was wondering if this was some sort of Babality thing for a second.
Not sure if anyones already pointed this out but there's a Yarn Yoshi Amiibo in Ribbon Road
There's actually all three of them. The green one is on the left on top of the shelf, next to the green present.
The pink one is right in the middle. If you look at the white/red castle you're basically looking at it.
The light blue one is on the top right, just above the Japanese text.
That was my impression as well. Pus these tracks only made real sense with Double Dash's special items, for the most part.
It'd be downright weird to play Stunt Race FX at a proper framerate.

So much greatness. I can't wait for everyone to be Isabelle online.
Baby Park looks the least interesting for me out of the eight. I feel like they could've taken it to the next level. If it was a circular quarterpipe without the wall in the middle, it could be truly something. As is, I'll need to spend some time with it. 200cc with a high lapcount could be fun.

Ribbon Road, Big Blue and New Woods are my favorite so far.
Still wonder how 200cc is going to be played online.

Yeah, it's not the same. But instead you get more drivers on the track and those gravity boosts.

Ugh, Baby Park. Thought we had a much better simplistic circuit with Excitebike Stadium, that's a bit of a downer. Looking forward to the rest though, especially Bell Subway. Reminds me a bit of Coconut Mall.

Man, I love the music for Neo Bowser City. I loved it in the original 3DS version, so as soon as that stage was confirmed for MK8, I was looking forward to hearing the remix. It's not too different, but that's a good thing.

I just really hope they spiced the track itself up for this game. Always considered it one of the most boring tracks in the series. Thoroughly uneventful.

still no snes ghost valley 1,instead we have cheese land and ribbon road...
Agreed, and I didn't see too much interesting happening in the trailer either. They're going to need to give it a new 'hook', so to speak.

Seems like a lack of mousers on the Cheese stage, which were there in the original.
Otherwise, hyped for F-Zero. Scanning in the manual and extracted the artwork from the original game yesterday, and they'll appear on The Video Game Art Archive in a month or so, but here's an awesome snesk peak!
At last we are going to get high resolution images of the original f-zero. Thanks a bunch!

Hah, well said.
Real talk, though, I'm pretty excited for Neo Bowser City. That was one of my favorite tracks in Mario Kart 7.

It's no wonder this game has about 50% attach rate on the Wii U.
If Nintendo keeps putting out content every half an year for this it will continue to sell.
Probably 5 million by it's one year release anniversary, wonder what the attach rate for the DLC is - Nintendo should release some figures after the second DLC comes out.
