With the Wii U, I have to LOOK DOWN to see it, which means I'm taking my eyes off of the road, which usually leads to a kart crash.
I've got a question about that, can you alternate between viewing the the character icon while you run across the circuit (MKDS and MK7 default view) and full view of the minimap (the entire track, like MKW, MKDS pressing X and MK7 tapping the touch screen)? You must know, I don't have MK8, neither a Wii U

someway I could get enough money to get a 3DS and MK7 so the point is that I don't know how is MK8 like (I mean, you know, it's not the same to play a game yourself that seeing other people playing it on a video).
Anyway, I get a bit surprised just by thinking that there are DLCs for this game, I mean, is there a mario game that has had DLCs you would download after purchasing the game? I don't know, I find it a bit strange, even after knowing it's for solving some issues in the game and it's for free. However, I'm not opposed to it, neither thinking about complaining. Thinking about that, it becomes nearly impossible to ask every MK8 original copy owner to return the game to developement so they can return them with the issues fixed xP, that's insane. So... what do you think?
