Support NeoGAF

[Garrett Hawke]

Go into the shop section on the main menu

But you gotta first install the update (quit the game and relaunch it from the Wii U main menu in order to get it)

I booted up the game after patching and it asked me if I wanted to download it. :/

Right, thanks! I was browsing the eShop for ages trying to figure it out.

 

[zruben]

man! it's like a present because I totally forgot about Mario Kart DLC!!

if my WiiU is set to auto-update, this should download automatically or not?

 

[Akhe]

Blue shell and triple reds, yay me lol

 

[PreyingShark]

man! it's like a present because I totally forgot about Mario Kart DLC!!

Patch will. DLC won't.

 

[Fandangox]

Those green shells lol

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Y'all blue, da ba dee da ba die...

 

[jorgejjvr]

Haha

 

[Timeaisis]

Dammit, work.

How are the new courses?

 

[Azure J]

Yoshi's Circuit is going to be the new Mario Circuit. That level gets HYPE

 

[Fandangox]

This is really the blue shirt club

 

[Frodo]

OMG! Mute city is AMAZING!

Can't deal with it while thinking how would a true F-Zero game look like! It is crazy how good this game looks, and what Nintendo can do with that tiny box of theirs. Totally worth the price of the admission ticket alone.
But my greatest fear has been confirmed: E-pona doesn't resonate well with me, as well as every other bike in the game. But Link looks so happy to be part of Mario Kart that I can totally cope with that. Rainbow Road looking fantastic as well. Love all the Rainbow Roads, but the SNES is, and will always be, King. New courses are great fun as well. Dragon Course, and the one with the Green and Yellow tracks are fantastic.

Now, please, Nintendo! Release new Battle Arenas! The game is still lacking a good arena for Battle mode.

 

[Kade]

Hopefully you guys will be on at around 9PM EST. Had fun.

 

[vgamer1]

booo, from first to last in like 10 seconds right before the finish

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Get out of here, green shirt.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

I just ordered a 20 dollar card for this and the Pikmin shorts, I totally forgot this was coming out today holy crap.

I'll be joining the GAF room tonight.

 

[jorgejjvr]

Man, SIX red shells just for me lol thankfully I still hot the first

 

[vgamer1]

only blue shirts allowed

also it totally sounds like link is screaming HELL YEAH

 

[Fandangox]

>Get triple red shells

>Lighting immediately afterwards.

Mario Kart.

 

[IntelliHeath]

which room are y'all playing?

Dammit, work.

How are the new courses?

It's very awesome. I really love Hyrule Castle, F-Zero and ExciteBike, along with few returning tracks. I haven't try two new tracks yet.

 

[PadWarrior]

This DLC is the hotness. Loving the Bdasher and Link! Courses are gorgeous.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Excitebike is so fun, I don't even care that I came in last place.

 

[PreyingShark]

DLC is soooo good. Can't play now though.

 

[Azure J]

I swear, jorge is the new papercuts.

 

[blame space]

it's updating. can't wait to play!

 

[SUPERJEM94]

The new music is so sexy that Nintendo made trailers just for them

Dragon Track

F-Zero

Zelda

 

[ffdgh]

Dammit, work.

How are the new courses?

Awesome. Some of them are definitely harder than the non dlc courses thanks to alot of turns.

 

[Lunar15]

I choose to believe that this DLC is the Trojan Horse that will bring a new F-Zero game into the world's households.

They're just making way for The Captain's return. It's time.

 

[jorgejjvr]

I swear, jorge is the new papercuts.

Is that a good thing?? Haha

 

[Azure J]

HOLD THAT SHIT

SECOND BABY

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO [/Ric Flair]

 

[Fandangox]

I will never lose hope. HE IS OUR HERO.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I swear, jorge is the new papercuts.

His internet is killing everybody?

Also RIP in peace Papercuts. Dat perma, that shit that makes your soul burn slow

 

[MoogleWizard]

Just played through the new courses and this is my favorite:

The DLC is great value, I highly recommend it if you like MK.

Also, Link's face is hilarious.

It's not lol

It's crazy that a DLC update that so heavily features the character doesn't include him as playable.

What gives Ninty

 

[PreyingShark]

I swear, jorge is the new papercuts.

jorge is good, but there are some even better guys in GAF these days.

It's sorta scary, actually... Thankfully ffdgh doesn't go into "serious mode" that often unless he's really salty.

 

[Raitaro]

DLC done right. Holy moly.

Still disappointed with their choice for characters though.
So now we have...

Mario
Baby Mario
Metal Mario
Tanooki Mario

Peach
Baby Peach
Pink Gold Peach
Cat Peach

Do we really need 4 characters for Mario and Peach each?
Where the hell is Diddy Kong? Bowser Jr.? Koopa and Paratroopa? Etc.

Yeah, I have to agree with this. Such an odd roster choice and a bit of a downer compared to the rest of the excellent DLC package. As I've mentioned before, they could have made the Tanooki and Cat suits optional outfits for Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad etc instead of dedicating valuable character slots to them.

What also bums me out a bit is that they chose Isabelle and (to a lesser degree) Villager as non-Mario representatives instead of going with more canonical characters such as Pit and Samus. Isabelle especially feels like she hasn't earned that spot in the roster compared to someone like Link.

I'm holding out hope for more DLC packs though, so perhaps we'll see Samus (and a Metroid track) yet. They might even change the suits to color options then to open up more spaces...which is probably wishful thinking, but a guy can dream...

Edit:

I agree with this point about not getting Captain Falcon as well.

 

[majik13]

so Links bike is inside drift? Im not famaliar with this term, but I dont really like the bikes in 8 compared to Wii as they all cut in super sharp on a drift to where I cant corner w/o going iff the track on the inside. Is that what this term means? I thought all bikes were like this to varying degrees.

Gaf please explain, I wanna enjoy bikes again.

 

[MoogleWizard]

The worst part of the roster are the baby characters. Why do they exist?

The Duke is the best bike and has the best turning. Some people will tell you that it's slow and has a very loose turn and they're right but that doesn't change the fact that it's the best bike. I really dislike the turning of the other bikes.

 

[Fandangox]

holy shit that final lap was hilarious

 

[jorgejjvr]

Man that ending was crazy chaotic

 

[Azure J]

Second to sixth out of nine because of one blue shell on the last bend of Hyrule Circuit.

Isabelle is actually way more popular than Pit and Samus in terms of merchandise alone. She's a staple character for Nintendo now, especially in Japan. Animal Crossing is big.

No really...I suck.

Trying to get blue falcon's handling down is tough...

 

[jorgejjvr]

In second... Until that last green shell snipe lol

Link cheating on Zelda with Rosalina confirmed

 

[Azure J]

THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM VOTING WARIO GOLD MINE OVER MUTE CITY

STAHP

 

[Fandangox]

Accidentally clicked Wario's track instead of mute city.

Damn

 

[DoubleYou]

The new music is so sexy that Nintendo made trailers just for them

Dragon Track

F-Zero

Zelda

Holy shit that's amazing. Love the little Ocarina Hyrule field reference at the end of the Zelda song. It's very subtle. 0:58

 

[flatearthpandas]

Whoa, it's out already? Was expecting it to go up with the normal store updates midday.

I should have started downloading it before I left for work.
