Tonight was my first night playing with GAF I had a blast! Frantic is nuts especially on the Excitebike track
You've got to take it in stride.
I've gotten salty before and just took a step away from the game. But the craziness always brings me back.
I'm sorry Blues.
Yeah, I'm equal parts confused & annoyed that this has happened, as I won't be able to race with you guys until I unlock (*sigh*....again....) the Koopalings & my Mii, which are my mains for this game.

I hope you get lucky with the unlock RNG.
It was on Excite Bike Arena. I think it was one of the matches with only three or four people in it.

First place win feels so nice!
Wait, seriously?
What the fuck? I was looking forward doing a long gameplay session with all the tracks next Saturday when a few friends were coming by.

GGs everyone!
Yeah me too, maybe it changes when I complete the cups in single player mode, I dont know.
What a bummer. I knew this whole DLC thing was too good.
Nintendo always manages to screw something up when they're doing things right.

Same here. Always getting an error.
I know that this is becoming the topic to play online, but I'd like to share my experience and feedback:
I freaking love this DLC.
I mean, title of the topic is spot on.
This is something I was hoping for since MK7: no more 4 years waiting for a new episode, but a great game from the start, with "constant" meaningful updates.
The quantity and quality of this DLC is outstanding for that price (especially with the pack: I paid 6 for what I'm playing right now); the effort spent clearly is comparable to the main game; the new tracks are great: inspired, with great variety, great OST...the characters and karts are good too.
I think that tracks are the best part of the pack. in terms of general value, but also in terms of quality.
The best looking is the Dragon one, imho.
The most "iconic" are the one inspired by other Nintendo IPs: it is a first, and I love it. Excite Bike is the best track, but also Mute city is very good. The hyrule one is less "weird", but the details are so good (rupees, the sound effects...)
Gameplay-wise, the B-Dasher is god: I've always loved that kart, and this version is simply amazing.
Congrats Nintendo: Wii U has a lot of commercial troubles, but the quality of its exclusive games is top notch.

Just learned that a NicoNico streamer I race with looked at my Miiverse posts to make sure I was a gaijin-san... I should remove my Bayonetta 2 pics...
Good to see you're enjoying the DLC.
I completely agree with you, Wii U is definitely not the commercial success they'd want it to be but the quality of their first party titles has been outstanding. Wii U might be remembered as a failure but no one can deny Nintendo did its best software wise.
Even if it did: Wii U's HDMI output means its classics will remain hooked to my TVs for years.
I'm afraid the console is still too expensive and won't find broad appeal, beyond its current niche of Nintendo fans.
What a great niche to be part of though

I was actually impliyng all the unfortunate SEGA disaster that occurred after the DC debacle
I know that it is not the case, I was just saying that I loved the DC despite no one buying it back in the days, as I'm enjoying the Wii U now.

It's moreso tedious than crazy with the increase in unblockables.

I'll tackle 150cc and figure out which tires are a good match for my B-Dasher Daisy.
After that I would be up for some online.

My only problem with it is that we already had it in MK7 where it was a big surprise. It looks even nicer now, I can't dispute that, but it would have been cool to see another "Mode 7" track given a makeover, maybe even SC's Rainbow Road.

If it's randoms then I wouldn't worry too much, the game is easy to pick up again.
