More content is always welcome, even more at this price, would love them to just port the Arcade tracks as well.

So what is the issue? Getting to play remade tracks on actual Switch hardware - the micro transaction or save money and just play them on a mobile phone?
I think I'm out of the loop with this one.

Oh wait, nevermind, I misunderstood you. I read your post as "paid DLC" on day one, not that it shipped with the DLC bundled for free. My mistake.

Man they're just a game company, chill down lmao, your life or anyone else's life isn't gonna get ruined because they decided to do business in a manner or another lmao, I don't even have time to play all Nintendo games let alone to worry about shit like this.
BTW, I'll be getting the pack mostly for the N64 remade tracks tho they don't look to the same standard as Princess Peach Castle remake in MK8, I think the reason for this to be so spred is mostly to engage some people to the online subs since it seems to be a quicker conversion.

Without a doubt the N64 tracks are awesome, and Choco Mountain is one of my all time best courses.

Is it Switch only? Ive still got my WiiU hooked up
The previous DLC is a nice price on the WiiU, might get that and these new tracks if they are cross gen.

I think they have forgotten about the Wii U, would be awesome if they did extend the package to the Wii U though.Is it Switch only? Ive still got my WiiU hooked up

I reckon so. But it would be nice.

Probably treating MK 8 "Deluxe" as a separate release. Wii U never got the dual items either. It's done.
I'm not even sure they count the two games together in sales numbers.

I hated it when I was a child because a single curve and I have the chance to pay that debt with myself nowWithout a doubt the N64 tracks are awesome, and Choco Mountain is one of my all time best courses.

It's worse now, they have removed the guard rail from the curve, so power slide too much and it's right into the drink.

Barely? Dude, we’re talking $0.50c a pop. Enjoying your caviar there on your golden throne?
(On a serious note what a pathetic article, trying to create controversy out of anything these days)

Mario Kart Wii - Intense Ghost Valley Action!! - YouTube
Found on Bing from www.youtube.com
Considering it is all retro tracks, I can accept it not having the same graphical standards.
Still not happy with Nintendo’s laziness, but this isn’tanew way of doing retro tracks for them. Mario Kart Wii had some simplistic retro tracks.

Only difference i see is resolution upgrade ( textures are published at higher resolutions and then downgraded for mobile so even that was already existing) and some slight lighting improvements otherwise its a direct lift. It clashes really badly...but the worst part is there is already existing textures in mario cart 8 such as the grass and cliff textures, wall materials they could just re-use...and easily adjusted within the shader to change the tones for some of the new levels. This is absolute minimal effort

Well, I know how to drift now so ok by me (Also joycon drift for additional drifting!It's worse now, they have removed the guard rail from the curve, so power slide too much and it's right into the drink.

Also I think it actually makes sense to release these tracks over a longer period. It ensures all the tracks get their time in the sun and the community isn't overwhelmed by a sudden monster drop of content. They could even do small reveals on a monthly basis or whatever for each track that will be included in the upcoming wave.
I think overall it's a smart way of going about the release of this DLC. Obviously if the content was smaller in scope a drip feed release schedule like this would've not been warranted.
