I'm French and I feel bad for only paying 12€ lol

Please, tell me this is a joke. There has to be some point where bias towards a game company becomes delusional and insane. I'm going to say that wishing to pay more for a product is that point.

Surely, you realize that lower prices drive sales, enticing more people to pay.

 

[majik13]

Ah man, this is just cruel. I can't believe we have to see the new cup icons locked until they are released.

sorry if I am dense, what are the 4 icons at the bottom for?

 

[Frolow]

sorry if I am dense, what are the 4 icons at the bottom for?

Track icons.

 

[Brizzo24]

sorry if I am dense, what are the 4 icons at the bottom for?

Tracks (courses) preview planes.

 

[majik13]

The woods could be Faron Woods.

Thanks! Is that the Zelda track in the bottom right? Seems like a weird place to put it.

why would they have a Zelda track picture in the AC pack, and not in the Zelda pack?

yeesh calm down, its essentially a backwards of saying you feel you are getting a good deal.

 

[rekameohs]

It's a little strange that the Zelda cup is in the Retro tracks section, but the AC cup is in the New tracks section. We'll see what that entails.

 

[Pompadour]

So do people think the Animal Crossing and Zelda cups replaced Blue Shell and Boo Cups or could there be more DLC in the future? Mario Kart sells well over long periods of time so we could be getting new cups in 2016 even.

 

[majik13]

Track icons.

Tracks (courses) preview planes.

ah yes, been a litle while since I last played.

Honestly, that nomenclature doesn't matter now since they've confirmed these are all new tracks.

 

[rekameohs]

Nope, Wario's Gold Mine is retro.

 

[Aβydoς]

I would like some new item too. Maybe some from Zelda or Animal Crossing!

 

[entremet]

Nope, Wario's Gold Mine is retro.

Maybe one or two tracks are retro?

 

[test_account]

Probably because of the discount for buying both.

That makes sense, i didnt think about that. Still a bit weird for me to see actual content being revieled that early though, instead of going the seasonal pass route

Nope, not the same. Well... there's an egg cup, but the icon is different. Those icons might've just been placeholders.

Ah ok, i see. Were those icons from the Mario Kart 8 disc by the way? Or did people find them anywhere else?

 

[zruben]

very late to the thread... but I have to say it again.

11.99 is a RIDICULOUSLY good price.
I was ready to pay around 30 bucks for all the stuff.

 

[majik13]

Im sure this has already been posted

Just wanted to say, thought it was pretty good.

 

[Arclaid]

They were on the disc.

 

[Son Of D]

Mario Kart 9. But with a couple of guest appearances from Link, Samus, Fox and Villager.

Then Mario Kart X Nintendo All-Stars as a full blown Smash Kart.

 

[DizzyCrow]

I'm thinking one of two ways.

1. Separate match making for those that have the DLC and those that don't. New characters, etc are in a separate listing only.

This would divide the player base I think. Which is why I like the second possible option below more

2. Everyone is in the same pool. Everyone is forced to download the tracks and characters but you can't select them unless you buy the content They'll see the new characters and carts when others pick them. If one of the new tracks is selected you could be forced to spectate the race instead of playing in it. This would show it off and make one want to go buy it.

That would be evil

Spoiler

do it Nintendo!

People, don't forget to redeem your Nintendo Network Premium points!



Welcome to the party! See you in the OT?

Thanks for this.

You can always purchase the DLC for others if you really feel you are underpaying.

He's saying that it's a good deal, calm down.

 

[Ninja Dom]

Anyone know where you can buy a real life NTDO T-Shirt that Animal Crossing guy is wearing??

 

[Bulzeeb]

In the next F-Zero game (lol like there ever will be) they should have a Luigi like they have a James McCloud.

It would be best to give the Mr L ourfit instead of the green overalls

 

[zruben]

they are probably gonna tease it on a Nintendo Direct, and will make them available on Club Nintendo NEVER, so we'll all cry together,

 

[boclfon479]

so what do you guys think the chance is that baby park or a re-skinned MK8 antigrav version of baby park is in the DLC?

 

[Mysterious]

No they will probably put it up. All 3 of them. For 10000 coins. Without warning.

 

[dc89]

Now this is how you do DLC.

 

[ThatRandomCliff]

I've already bought it It is such a steal.

 

[themagicalkitsune]

I don't understand people who don't like the fact that it's not free. You get enough material to almost flesh out a new Mario Kart game. I'm actually surprised it doesn't cost more.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

I hope Link occasionally spurs the side of his bike like Epona! In fact, I hope an Epona bike is one of the new vehicles.

 

[Javier]

Nope, Wario's Gold Mine is retro.

Maybe it's a NEW Wario's Gold Mine?

 

[Dusk Golem]

Maybe it's a NEW Wario's Gold Mine?

It says classic courses, like Wario's Gold Mine. I bet at least half the courses in the DLC will be retro courses.

 

[Franchuzas87]

Btw, Funky Kong knew.

Did you see the thumbnail? It's clearly Mario Kart Wii's Wario's Gold Mine.

EPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

 

[Christopher]

How could you NOT buy this?

 

[thereisnoif]

omg the Shy Guys are great!

 

[Zeyphersan]

omg the Shy Guys are great!

I already used Shy Guy a lot, now I can do it with style!

 

[AGITΩ]

Link should have gotten an Epona Themed Motorbike and Loftwing Glyder.

lol <- joke
But it's true it's really cheap for what we get.

 

[checkeredknight]

Probably old news, but they've updated some of the track layouts. For example, there's a small wall separating the four lanes along the middle around the first big turn on Mario Kart Circuit.

Oh really? Nice find!

 

[krumble]

Did my bit and bought the double pack

That's cool. Can't wait to get home and try this stuff.
