nintendo ninjas, please, go back to work...

its enought. This is starting to hurt me. Its 4 am here, i need to calm down and then sleep.

For more bombs, wait for tomorrow please

 

[Uno Venova]

Did you read the Mario Golf DLC thread?

No...guess I'm wrong then?

 

[Macka]

Great price!

Second pack is so far away though.

 

[RPG_Fanatic]

Only $12. Wow, I didn't expect it to be that cheap. I will definitely be getting the DLC pack.

 

[Javier]

All companies take note. THIS is how you DLC.

Preordering as soon as it's out and maining Yellow Yoshi in the meantime.

 

[Kyzon]

That's basically a new game in the vein of the first ones.

I'm so ready!

 

[Jigolo]

The DLC for this and Smash is going to kill my 8gb HDD

 

[SCReuter]

So does "Triforce Cup" imply four Zelda-themed tracks? I can only hope...

I'm thinking it means four Nintendo courses, including F-Zero and Excitebike.

 

[dragn]

Anyone know if DLC contributes to the Digital Deluxe promo that gives you credit based on purchases on Wii U? If it does I should have enough to buy this tomorrow, and get enough credit from that to buy Azure Striker Gunvolt Friday.

it should

 

[Fitts]

Absolutely floored by this pricing. I had previously stated that I would be fully willing to pay $30 for both and here it is for nearly 1/3 of that.

Great job, Nintendo!

 

[Zeyphersan]

Nintendo making it easy to cancel a preorder is some big news on its own

 

[Boney]

May 2015 seems insane

 

[dolabla]

I'm kind of happy about it, makes me think they will be as high quality as the ones in the game right now..

True, true. I guess it's not really a bad thing. I just wanted them pretty soon, lol.

 

[Griss]

This is basically my wildest dream come true. It's like getting Mario Kart 9 for 12 bucks.

Don't like the addition of Link - he doesn't fit like Villager and Isabelle do. And I don't particularly want MK to turn into Nintendokart. But god damn, that's nitpicking an insanely good DLC schedule.

 

[MiguelMexMIstery]

I like that they are starting to use Villager as a character now.

 

[Busaiku]

I'm thinking it means four Nintendo courses, including F-Zero and Excitebike.

But there's also the Leaf cup.

 

[Krappadizzle]

Wow, great value there. I'll now pick up MK as what was there didn't seem enough to me as I'm not a huge racing fan. I might wait for a GOTY version though just to get all of these goodies on one disk.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Beautiful pricing. In for both tomorrow!! Love you Nintendo <3

 

[Perfect Cha0s]

Very fairly priced. Not sure if I'll pick up the DLC, but it's good to see Nintendo entering the arena with a very compelling offering.

 

[Ivan A Nguyen]

Now I have to decide what to move off my Wii U so I can fit that extra 2 gigs of mario kart goodness.

 

[Akhe]

SOLD!!

 

[RobotHaus]

EDIT:
Could be placeholders. So far only Yoshi's Egg has been used.

They used only one of those for 4 new cups. By this logic there must be 16 total new cups. Mario Kart 8 for 100+ courses confirmed.

 

[Cody_D165]

$12 FOR BOTH?!

JESUS CHRIST

THIS IS HOW YOU FUCKING DO DLC
UBI AND EA TAKE NOTES

 

[Neiteio]

THAT VALUE

I was expecting and willing to pay $30 for them combined

This is roughly one-third what I was expecting

Just WOW

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

True, true. I guess it's not really a bad thing. I just wanted them pretty soon, lol.

You can pass the time by driving in the completely out of place Mercedes though like an asshole.

 

[mrhej]

So if Nintendo UK didn't fuck up on their site, I guess this would have been announced tomorrow.

 

[Alienous]

The game ships with 32 tracks for $60, a great amount.
Godly Nintendo offers an additional 16 tracks (+50%) for $12 (+20%).

How can't you love them?

 

[SCReuter]

But there's also the Leaf cup.

And that would include another four Nintendo courses (Animal Crossing)... leaving the remaining two cups for retro tracks.

I'm just guessing here. The Nintendo and retro courses could very well be mixed together.

 

[Regiruler]

$12 gets you:
6 characters
8 karts
16 tracks
16 new colors (8 each for yoshi and shy guy)

 

[VanWinkle]

So excited for this, guys.

 

[Chaos17]

May 2015 seems insane

That's the date for the second pack.
First pack will be released in november 2014.

 

[Aesthet1c]

Man, twelve bucks for all that content is a STEAL.

Day one!

 

[PhaZZe]

Nintendo DLC i love you

 

[AdanVC]

Tomorrow MK8 Online will be full of Multi-colored Yoshis on Mercedes Benz cars. NICE!

 

[Net_Wrecker]

$12 for both is a great deal. Crazy even.

BUT...

May 2015 for Pack 2 feels like a really long wait. Unless they're gonna keep supporting it beyond Pack 2, I think they should strike earlier. Like February earlier. May 2015 is Smash Bros DLC timing.

 

[MilesTeg]

Jesus. November for the first and 2015 for 2nd? I thought at least pack one was hitting the 27th. I find it hard to believe the community will still be willing to pay more by mid 2015.

 

[Stoof]

Holy shit that price. I was ready to buy each at $15 considering they were like 1/4th of the game but daaaaamn.

 

[Shikamaru Ninja]

Absolutely amazing approach to DLC content. Truthfully, Nintendo intelligently subsidized the hardcore DLC with the Mercedes Benz free advert DLC as well.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Tomorrow MK8 Online will be full of Multi-colored Yoshis on Mercedes Benz cars. NICE!

It's going to be fun to think of some wondering "how the hell did they get a black Yoshi?".

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

This is basically my wildest dream come true. It's like getting Mario Kart 9 for 12 bucks.

Don't like the addition of Link - he doesn't fit like Villager and Isabelle do. And I don't particularly want MK to turn into Nintendokart. But god damn, that's nitpicking an insanely good DLC schedule.

Why not make it a full blown Nintendo Kart?
At this rate the next Mario Kart will include the next F-Zero as a PRO cup!

 

[freakzilla3000]

SOLD!!! Does anyone else think that there may be a new Nintendo Direct incoming? I mean with all these new announcements and leaks from the past 2 days, it seems inevitable doesn't it?

 

[Neiteio]

You get the eight colors for Yoshi and eight colors for Shy Guy right away. Along with the three Mercedes cars free, that's a nice gesture to ease the wait for the new tracks... somewhat.

 

[Animekatt]

Really loving those prices. Will preorder as soon as I can get a Nintendo money card.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Pretty sure I paid more to get all the DLC for Mega Man 9.

 

[Captain Europe]

Day 0!

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

SOLD!!! Does anyone else think that there may be a new Nintendo Direct incoming? I mean with all these new announcements and leaks from the past 2 days, it seems inevitable doesn't it?

I hope so, I want to see a preview of this bad boy DLC.

 

[blame space]

uhhh sold

 

[plufim]

Nintendo doing "season passes"right - good value AND you know everything you'll be getting. See also Mario Golf 3DS.

 

[Hindl]

THAT PRICE HOLY SHIT

 

[dolabla]

You can pass the time by driving in the completely out of place Mercedes though like an asshole.

Haha, will do.

I can't believe all the content that comes with this DLC. It's almost like a brand new game.
