With this DLC, there will be 48 tracks.
That's a lot.
Most of them are absolutely gorgeous, too. Nintendo is doing a great job, quality wise, if post-release content is contending for "best yet" in any category.

All of the tracks look amazing. I'm not ready for 200cc Baby Park and all the chaos, haha.
And Ribbon Road looks amazing, that'll probably be my favorite track out of this DLC.

Playing as the Animal Crossing Villager on an F-Zero track in Mario Kart...this truly is the future.
is there any other DLC that compares to the value and pure awesomeness of Mario Kart 8's?
like, if Nintendo were the first to standardize DLC with stuff like this I think the word "DLC" wouldn't have anywhere close to the negative connotation that it does in today's gaming landscape.

Oh wow, that's neat! It's hilariously fast on the final stretch.
Meh Baby park still looks lame, they should have chosen Wario Colosseum instead. Also the Polygon guy needs to learn to hold on to item in first place.
Hmm 200cc, anti gravity mechanic, the Blue Falcon, Mute City stage and now Big Blue. Yep I am starting to suspect that Nintendo is training people up for a new F-Zero game, I am on to you Nintendo. >_> <_< >_>
...with an Epona-bike.

Wow, mushrooms look absolutely useless in 200cc. The dude playing Ribbon Road actually did worse when he had 3 of them.

Ribbon Road @ 200CC looks near impossible.
he admittedly hadn't gotten used to breaking yet

Both in tempo and pitch. Tempo goes up a fraction each lap, and it's modulating the key up a semitone each lap.

Nice, totally forgot about this dlc, I bought both a while ago. My wife is going to be excited for some new tracks. May have to delve into these tonight.

Definitely gonna be a learning curve! Can't wait to practice and destroy my friends.
200cc is perfect.
People missing turns is what this game needed as the SNES version required perfect timing.
Acceleration holders are going to hate this mode.

All this F-Zero shit might just be the biggest cock tease I ever experienced in gaming. If we don't get an announcement at E3 I'll cry.

Yeah they're gonna have a lot of pressure to deliver this E3, especially after announcing not showing zelda there.

Yeah. Turns being difficult is definitely something reminiscent of old Mario Kart.
Even tracks like SNES RR don't feel deadly like they did in SMK.
F-Zero kind of carried on that torch, but it looks like MK8 with 200CC is getting there.
I promised myself that I wouldn't cry.

Oh my God. 200cc looks amazing. I think I'll actually have to start playing again.

It made me all giddy, man I can't wait for this DLC!
Ok, look, just do this:
F-Zero Wii U is a downloadable title only, based on a very tweaked version of the mario kart engine. They release a pack of 5 tracks for 10 dollars each every month for six months, giving them time to design each track and see how well each pack performs.
You can buy a "season pass" for 50 bucks, but you get a discount if you bought the DLC for Mario Kart, bringing it down to 40 bucks.
Is it optimal? No, but if it allowed a new F-Zero to happen, I'd be all for it.

I could definitely see them putting a GX port on the N3DS.
I'd love a full new Wii U game but...yeah. I'm not that optimistic.

not on 200cc, which will take some getting used to as you will likely have to begin your drifts earlier than on 150cc.
Don't worry. Come the 23rd I'm sure GAFcc will take care of this. That or make it rain salt more so than normal.
Kung Fu Lakitu
Yes please.
Ribbon Road is so good.
damnnnnnn
Mario Kart 8 is just in another league

Mah sides.
Challenge accepted. I shall be the only person playing with zero brakes and living on the razor's edge.

Yeah, that would be like putting Conker into Project Spark and not making a new Conker game, too. Who on earth would do such a thing?
Yoshi
Headmaster of Console Warrior Jugendstrafanstalt
You won't. I will avoid those damn breaks. I hate breaks, there should just be a more stronger drift if the game really cannot be played without choosing between breaking and bumping into walls. There is no brake in F-Zero X / GX either! (Or so I pretend, there is a button that lets you break, but what kind of crazy person would use that? Speedspeedspeed!)

Still extremely salty at how they gimped the battle mode. They should have DLC for that.
