Mario Kart 8

£11 quid for new karts, characters and 16 new courses is good value.

Amazing value compared to some of the DLC on Xbox and PS.

That is pretty good value, but a worrying change of Tack for Ninty. Probably inevitable though.

[clarance]

Yeah, good value it would seem - it needed Nintendo to show the world how to do DLC properly

[djslope]

Nintendo do DLC correctly, just look at pikmin 3

Altho im surprised they are not using amibo to unlock characters like link and Animal crossing

That is very true but will the other companies take note? of course not! As long as people are willing to spend £15 (or what ever amount it is) on a couple of multiplayer maps then this will sadly never change

I downloaded the free Mercedes karts last night and will probably take the plunge on this DLC later even though the lead time to the second pack seems a bit ridiculous in my opinion

My bad; I didn't see that there were more courses included too . In that case I agree that it is good value.

Looking at the pics there may be an excitebike track

also how good was excitetruck and excitebots , Nintendo please put them up for download lol

I've just picked up a copy of Mario Kart 8 from The Game Collection in a flash deal. £35, which I thought was pretty good value. 10 hours left if anyone's interested...

I do like the look of Excitebots but it never came out in the UK. Have heard Excitetruck is good but I just can't get excited about racing 4x4s.

I'm sure that there is others but atm im thinking its the best motion controlled racing game i have ever played, Also even tho you are racing 4x4s its crazy fast, the 2nd is even more mental which is what put people off slightly

Yoshi Circuit has been confirmed as one of the DLC tracks (The one shaped like Yoshi.)

Played it today on on a store set-up, it's decent enough I suppose but it's clearly trying (and failing to be) Sonic Racing Transformed. A long way from being the game to save the Wii U.

It has a better frame rate than Sonic though, that's for sure. (Sorry i'm late to this thread). If it had the frame rate of MK8 the Sonic racing game would be utterly awesome...

[RodimusPrime]

First batch of DLC is great.

Seems Nintendo is recovering well, record preorders for sma bros on the Wii U, and the amiibo's predicted to make a fortune and sales increasing all the time.

Whether the Wii U is "saved" or not, it's still a fantastic console. Possibly my favourite home console of the 21st century. Rayman Legends, Super Mario 3D World, Mario Kart 8, Bayonetta 2, Pikmin 3, Assassin's Creed Black Flag, Wind Waker, The Wonderful 101, Shovel Knight, Earthbound...there's so much fun to be had on this console. I absolutely love it.
