Mario Kart 8 DLC pricing confirmed ($7.99 each or $11.99 for both, 16 tracks)
- Thread starter Wario64
- Start date
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.
Indeed. Gonna give peach a break and use black or white yoshi if he's available

In the images we can clearly see that some of the tracks shown are new, but some of the tracks shown already exist in game. Are they implying that the "classic" cups will just be remixed versions of current courses in Mario Kart 8? Or will the classic cups feature classic courses that have not yet made it into Mario Kart 8?

I feel like I'm robbing Nintendo.
Thought I would have to wait till May to buy the bundle and get the Yoshi/Shy Guy skins.
4:01 AM EST. INTO. MY. GODDAMN. VEINS.
That may be the best gif I've ever seen.

I've had this emotion of "Can I give them money yet?"
Like, I was to preorder these now. Not tomorrow, now.

As everyone has said, that's a very aggressive price from Nintendo and I can't wait to download this! My son and I (actually the whole family really) are addicted to this game and we can't wait to play more.

There's literally no reason to only buy one pack
They've come a long way since those shit NSMB2 and FE:A DLC though
Yeah I know, just seems insane it's gonna take that long for the second one to come out.

Its 16 new tracks. They show ones currently in mk8 to show off new vehicles/characters.
They're saving surprises for a ND, i assume.

I honestly was expecting 15 bucks for each pack. Day 0 for me.
Nintendo DLC best DLC.

The pic with the old courses are there to show the new characters.

I think this is perfectly good timing for DLC, at least for a main line Nintendo game.
People have gotten used to DLC being shoved at us fast and hard.
I wish it were coming sooner as well, but business wise I think it makes sense.
Mario Karts usually have good legs in terms of sales, and I think this should help keep the game on people's minds and on websites for the upcoming months.

Literally the best DLC of all-time. Wii U saved.

But it's so far off...is the community going to be active enough in November, nevermind mid 2015, to segregate the userbase as such online...

May I have a cookie?
OK Nintendo, I got the message, you mean business. Starting tomorrow I am putting money aside each day until I've saved up enough for a Wii U and some games.
Is there a reason to not get both? The price is amazing for the amount of content

It is, 4 new courses and 4 retro courses per pack seems very likely.

May is fucking ages away.
Why the large gap between DLC?

That pricing, seriously that's some incredible value there!
I think those shots are to show off the new karts and characters, not the race tracks.

Probably because they're still developing it.

$12 is an awesome price! It's great to see some fzero in there. Day 1 purchase for me.

Wow...that's true.
I will have paid $62 dollars for Mario Kart 8, Wind Waker, and Mario Kart 8.5.
And technically since MK8 and Wind Waker pushed me over the edge for a platinum reward, it paid for a copy of Earthbound as well.

Easy day one purchase for me.
Wonder why this info didn't come from a Nintendo Direct though? I'm sure they could have given us some new updates on their other upcoming games.

They have to make up for Yoshi's Wooly World being delayed til 2016.
They will pay us?

God, I knew there was no way they had only worked on 32 tracks during the entire time they were developing the game. This is so amazing, I'm definitely prebuying the two packs.

This is just fantastic news. $12 for effectively 50% more content. They could've sold each of these packs for $12, and I don't think anybody would've blinked. Still - the lack of Battle support is shitty.
