wow, I've barely have had internet for my Wii U and I already have all the MK8 DLC.

Also, Orange Shy Guy is the best made-for-Mario-Kart-8 character.

Mind you, there isn't much of a competition, considering the only two others are Baby Rosalina and Pink Gold Peach.

[Geno]

double post, whatever.

no one cared about the other one anyway

So, I was thinking about the DLC.

And I'm pretty sure that the Yoshi Egg and Super Bell cups will be all Retro courses.
Yes, I know the select screen puts the Zelda cup withthe retro ones, but that's most likely a mistake. (The screens that show up when you try to select them put the Zelda one on top and the Yoshi Egg one on the bottom, like it probably should be)
Plus, it'd be weird if the Zelda one had retro courses, right?

Anyway, I was thinking about the retro courses.
Aside from Wii Wario's Gold Mine in the Yoshi Egg cup, none of the others have been revealed.

I tried to guess what the most likely courses for inclusion in the two cups will be

(click to show/hide)

Wii Toad's Factory - Wii U Rainbow Road and Wii U Sunshine Airport already use Toad's Factory's gimmicks, so it'd make sense for it to be in the DLC

SNES Mario Circuit 4 - because there's only one SNES course in MK8 ATM, and I'm pretty sure if a second one was in, given the past 3 games, it'd be Mario Circuit

GBA Bowser Castle 4 - see what I put for Mario Circuit 4. There hasn't been a MK game since Double Dash that hasn't had a GBA Bowser Castle in it, so this is a likely choice

N64 Wario Stadium - if there's any N64 courses at all in the DLC, Wario Stadium is the most likely one, considering that it's the ONLY one left! And it'll probably be in Super Bell cup 'cause Egg already has a Wario course. (which would also make Egg cup the only MK8 one without a MK64 course!)

GCN Mushroom City - Okay, all right, I don't really have any real logic behind this choice other than that it'd look neat in HD. (Plus, the only other not-remade courses left after this one are Bowser themed, Wario themed, and Rainbow Road)

GBA Sunset Wilds - Come on, the sunset effect would look GOREGEOUS in HD! Plus, more Shy Guy goodness!

DS Mario Circuit - I had trouble picking this one. None of the remaining DS courses really shared gimmicks with any of MK8's courses (well, besides the standard Thwomps), so I just picked this one because okay. And unlike Figure-8 Circuit, it seems about the same difficulty as the other courses I've predicted

Also, if there are no N64 courses in the DLC (somewhat likely, considering that MK8 already has FOUR of 'em. Plus, MK8 has currently avoided having two tracks share the same music), Wario Stadium could be replaced by
3DS Rock Rock Mountain - Because Anti-Gravity would totally work on that steep slope!
(Although at the same time, having one N64 course for MK9 seems a little odd)

Additionally, here's a few ones that I considered, but decided against "predicting"

DS Figure-8 Circuit - A bit too easy when compared to the other courses here. Also, the general shape of the track is pretty much the same as the remade Toad's Turnpike

DS Shroom Ridge - No other Mario Kart game has had more than 2 tracks with cars (if Mushroom City exists)

GCN Wario Colosseum - Although it WOULD look epic in HD, it'd be a bit too much Wario, unless N64 Wario Stadium could be replaced by it (plus, it'd probably be shortened to one lap, unfortunately)

Wii DK Summit - Although MK8 already has one DK Cannon course (oddly, the remade Yoshi Valley), it is a bit too similar to Mount Wario, and adding that to both the confirmed Wario's Gold Mine AND my predicted Toad's Factory would give one cup TWO Wii courses, something that has never, EVER been done with the remakes

well not all of your track dlc hope list will be added in the first two packs but maybe later on
(p.s. i hate warios gold mine)

[Geno]

what

The first spoiler contained 7 tracks, which, if both the Yoshi Egg and Super Bell cups are retro tracks like I predict, then that'd be enough to fill them, counting the already-announced Wario's Gold Mine.
(Also, a replacement for my predicted N64 Wario Stadium if 5 N64 courses is not gonna happen)

The second one is just filled with ones that I was going to put in the first list, but replaced for reasons.

I made sure to predict an amount of courses that could actually fit in the two cups

[GameAndWatcher]

I came up with an idea that just might work for MK8 DLC;

(click to show/hide)

The WarioWare X Mario Kart 8 Pack
Comes with 3 "new" characters: Biker Wario (as in Wario in the WarioWare outfit), Mona, and 9-Volt
4 vehicles including the Wario Bike (as seen in MKWii, yes with one big wheel in the back, one small one in the front)
and 8 courses (4 new ones in the Wario Cup including a Diamond City based track, the other 4 are retro in the Acorn (mushroom) Cup, which includes SNES Vanilla Lake 1 and GBA Cheese Land)
Preorder Bonus being the ability to use recolored Toads (Blue, Yellow, Green, Purple, Ice Blue, Fire Yellow, Fire Blue, and Ice Yellow)

[Korby]

If you're doing a WarioWare pack, wouldn't it make more sense to have the recolors be something relevant to Wario?
For example, you could replace 9-Volt with Jimmy T and have all of his recolors available.

I'd be fine with Jimmy T. instead of 9-Volt (even though I'd still rather have 9-Volt).
Considering recolors, the two sets released so far (Yoshi and Shy Guy) don't relate to Zelda or Animal Crossing (the two have references to the Mario series, but neither set of recolors are relevant to the two).

I think this ought to be posted here.

More news about the upcoming DLC is always good.

[Geno]

Yoshi Circuit! Cool!
And it's already better than the DS version, cuz the shortcuts are back!

... although this kinda makes my predictions invalid, because hey, clearly they don't care about re-re-making courses.


But this still means, that HD Waluigi Pinball is still possible!

[sa173533]

Upcoming DLC for Mario Kart 8?

AWESOME!

[Yuri Sakazaki]

I wouldn't doubt they will still re-remake some courses though, Molly! HD Waluigi Pinball is a must if possible.

Here's some nice comparison pics between the generations:

Lookin' sharp!

Everyone talking about MK8... and I still play MK7 or Wii when bored :s
It may take several years for me to buy a Wii U

[Geno]

Well, really, although I wished that I'd keep playing MK8 constantly, it's lack of difficulty made me go back to playing MKWii and MK64.

Although the DLC will definitely make me go back and play MK8 again for a while!
(Also, I've obtained everything except the Gold Glider, so that's a thing)

[Yuri Sakazaki]

Unfair rubberband AI to the extreme isn't exactly my type of difficulty so I rather like MK8's.

...Is what I would say if I wasn't tired of playing against CPUs
