I ordered a Wii U with Mario Kart 8. It should be here Friday, but do you think it's worth just going right in and buying the DLC right away? I love Mario Kart, so I'm probably going to get it anyway.

I would think so, its £11 for both.

So much content.

DLC downloads on the Wii U are confusing. I went to the eShop a short time ago and checked to see if I could download the DLC from there...I couldn't. It shows as Purchased, but you can't download from there. So then I decide to see if you have to do it through Mario Kart 8, so I open up the game. Before it opens up, a download screen comes up saying it will take 10 minutes to download the update, so I let that go through. When it's finished, I open up Mario Kart 8, but nothing is different!

I exit and open Mario Kart 8 again, but it says updating again, 3 minutes this time. I don't understand what's happening, why it's not a prompt on the main menu, or manually downloadable from the eShop page. The way it's set up now is kind of confusing. Thoughts?

Dragon Driftway has the same problem as the new Rainbow Road for me (new as in special cup, not SNES one). Can't drift sharp enough around the massive corners.

Or maybe I just suck.

it's doable but definitely challenging

Mute City music

 

[BGBW]

Hope the standby download kicked in so it's ready for when I get back home.

Managed to avoid most of the track details and music so I have a lot to look forward to.

 

[Oidisco]

Ok taking a break for a while. I'll be back on tonight!

 

[Roo]

[Jeff Vader]

How the hell did you keep getting trips and I got a damn banana?

I was just looking at character/vehicle stats, and noticed something: Tanooki Mario and Cat Peach have unique stats. They are not the same as regular Mario and regular Peach. Specifically, they each have higher Acceleration, but lower Weight, than their standard counterparts.


Tanooki Mario:
Speed: 3.75
Acceleration: 2.75
Weight: 3.5
Handling: 3.25
Traction: 3.75

Mario:
Speed: 3.75
Acceleration: 2.5
Weight: 3.75
Handling: 3.25
Traction: 3.75

Cat Peach:
Speed: 3.25
Acceleration: 3
Weight: 3
Handling: 3.75
Traction: 4

Peach:
Speed: 3.25
Acceleration: 2.75
Weight: 3.25
Handling: 3.75
Traction: 4


Also, here are the CORRECT stats for Blue Falcon and Tanooki Kart:

Blue Falcon:
Speed: +.25
Acceleration: +.25
Weight: -.25
Handling: 0
Traction: -.5

Tanooki Kart:
Speed: 0
Acceleration: -.25
Weight: +.25
Handling: -.25
Traction: +.25

SNES Rainbow Road is the only dlc track I'm competent at. Some of those turns on Yoshi Circuit are destroying me.

Dragon Driftway has the same problem as the new Rainbow Road for me (new as in special cup, not SNES one). Can't drift sharp enough around the massive corners.

Or maybe I just suck.

Yeah, that turn near the shortcut ramp has given me some problems.

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

I'm efefefef if people were wondering.

 

[marc^o^]

What are the odds they will release a MK8 ultimate edition next year, with all DLCs included?

 

[Crab Milk Mickey]

Frantic tournament for the DLC.

So much for ever getting a good group of players (in terms of numbers) going in a room with the default rules.

Definitely looking forward to playing the tracks. Mute City looks amazing and the other tracks seem to be like a lot of fun too.

 

[wrowa]

Mute City is amazing.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Frantic lobby was crazy as ALL hell ! lol

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

I'll end on a high note.

GGs!

 

[Prototype]

Mute City is hands down he BEST track so far

fucking asshole picked shy guy falls

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

I think that's plausible. Gives them a chance to release another boxed Mario Kart with some marketing behind it.

Edit: im so so sorry, I didnt even pick the track

 

[daydream]

SNES Rainbow Road is gonna take some getting used to. Looks (and sounds) lovely, though!

 

[Roo]

What are the odds they will release a MK8 ultimate edition next year, with all DLCs included?

Pretty low considering they haven't done an "ultimate" edition of any game with DLC

 

[HolyCheck]

Frantic lobby was crazy as ALL hell ! lol

so glad the random track wasn't selected.

*glares at mona*

oh fuck shy guy

 

[Rebel Leader]

STOP PICKING NON DLC TRACKS

 

[Jeff Vader]

Dat rainbow road!

 

[GasProblem]

Installed. You guys playing in frantic lobby right?

 

[Azure Phoenix]

Does anyone know what the exact DLC and mandatory patch sizes are so far (excluding the optional Mercedes DLC)? I'm on an 8gb system which has 3.4gb left after the system update and the display cards we got in at work said each pack would require 2gb which is a big concern.

They haven't released a NSMB U with Luigi U bundled in. I suspect they'll keep this as their lure to get people using the eshop.

 

[ffdgh]

I can confirm that VR definitely has been fixec . You gain more for top spots again and lose much less for lower spots post patch.

Also God I suck at the new tracks online >_<.

 

[Prototype]

STOP PICKING NON DLC TRACKS

Seriously.

edit:
wow, here we go again,. :/

 

[Jeff Vader]

Lol doing well then I met my nemesis, the tree

 

[HolyCheck]

Seriously.

mona, kevin, rebel and rine

jerks

No they have bundled NSMB U

I bought a wiiu that had NSMB U that had lulgi u on disc

 

[Roo]

Ok, I'm done. That was fun. I love the new tracks, all of them. Nintendo did an amazing job. GGs everyone

About 1GB in total, with the update. From here

Update is 221MB big and should be available everywhere (EU, NA and JP). And looks like the DLC is out too! When you've updated, just launch Mario Kart 8 and should get a message asking you if you want to download the DLC. DLC is 687MB.
