I don't find it any more exciting than a recolor-excuse from say, the Sonic fanbase.

RE: Mario Kart 8 - Mattrizzle - 04-08-2015
I think I've figured out how many new tracks versus retro tracks we'll be getting in DLC pack 2...
In the source code of the official Mario Kart TV website, I noticed something odd. If you right click on the page, select View Source, and search for "var STRINGS", you find a list of the currently available track names, accompanied by what appear to be their internal values. After sorting these names in ascending order by value, I noticed a pattern:
Courses 16-31 are new to this game (Nitro Courses), 32-47 are from past games (Retro Courses), and values greater than 47 are DLC tracks.
But...
This may have already been obvious to some, but now we have proof. Also, the fact that first original track has the value 16 could mean that two more DLC packs are being planned to make use of values 00-15, or that 16 test tracks were dummied out...

Are you part of GAMEXPLAIN?
RE: Mario Kart 8 - Omega - 04-09-2015
makes sense since theres still two prix images that haven't been used yet
RE: Mario Kart 8 - MrYoshbert - 04-09-2015
A possibility of two more DLC packs? That'd be the best thing.
RE: Mario Kart 8 - Neweegee - 04-09-2015
Wow, 5 more Retro Tracks! I really hope they add another GBA track this time.

I thought that I was gonna end up getting this later when the DLC selections improved a bit but for some reason the idea of a harder mode than 150cc is a hell of a lot more interesting for the challenge. Hopefully a 200cc Mirror will happen too? who knows at this point.
RE: Mario Kart 8 - TomGuycott - 04-09-2015
200cc mirror would be an excellent addition if they came around with more DLC at a later time. However, as far as we know there may already BE a 200cc mode, just unlockable like the first. I figure Nintendo would have announced it, though, as they have a tendency to make the content of their extra content more or less known around release.
RE: Mario Kart 8 - Neweegee - 04-09-2015
What'd be really awesome is if they turn Mirror mode into an option on the track select screen, so you could play Mirror mode on ANY speed! So if you also liked playing on 50cc and 100cc because it makes the races longer, you can play mirror tracks on those modes too.
RE: Mario Kart 8 - MrYoshbert - 04-09-2015
Heh, here's something to think about: just how over-the-top will the AI's cheating antics be in 200cc?
RE: Mario Kart 8 - Iceman404 - 04-09-2015
A problem I have with Mario Kart 8 is that the higher the speed, the more excessively punishing it is to get hit even once because you're put at a complete standstill. In a game with two extremely common scenarios where you're forced to take damage, this might not be any less frustrating at even higher speeds.
Basically in high VR rooms, I expect getting hit 2-3 times will completely seal the deal in whether or not you'll make the top half of the rankings. It also means 1st place may have an easy chance escaping the main crowd even more.
RE: Mario Kart 8 - MrYoshbert - 04-13-2015
Some folks did some more digging for track names, and it seems like we know what two of the new retro courses are: Baby Park and Neo Bowser City. We're also getting a "woods" track and a... "metro" stage.
It's a rumor, though.

if this would true this would be just so truly bittersweet of the final DLC given the sheer number of babies in this game
