Title: Mario Kart 8 Updates: Nintendo Kart Edition
Post by: bluaki on August 26, 2014, 03:14:58 PM
http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/08/mario_kart_8_dlc_coming_in_november_features_zelda_and_f_zero_content

So we're getting DLC for Mario Kart 8 with new tracks, karts, and characters, including several from non-Mario games

DLC 1 in November: Link, Cat Peach, Tanooki Mario

DLC 2 in May 2015: Villager, Isabelle, Dry Bowser

Bonus for buying both: 8 Colored Yoshis, 8 Colored Shy Guys
Each pack also includes 8 courses and 4 vehicles.

In UK, they're priced at £7 each. US prices not yet announced.

There's still no Amiibo-related update announcement.

I'm kind of wary of Nintendo doing DLC but these additions are superfluous enough that I feel alright about it. Wondering when the Battle Mode DLC will be announced akudood;
Hopefully they cost $10 or less though. I'm especially happy about Isabelle, but Link should be really cool too. Maybe the next Kart game we get will just be Smash Kart.

I loved Dry Bones :'(

Also it should be noted that one of the new vehicles in the first DLC pack is the Blue Falcon.

Quote from: http://nintendonews.com/2014/08/mario-kart-8-dlc-pack-prices/Both DLC packs are available to pre-order from the Wii U eShop starting tomorrow for $7.99 each. You can buy both packs together for a discounted price of $11.99.


but i too am very disappointed about the omission of dry bones

F-Zero, Excitebike, Zelda, and Animal Crossing courses lead me to believe it'll be new cups, with retro cups.

A screenshot shows that Wario's Gold Mine (Wii) is among the added tracks, so yes, it probably is four new cups that might be half-retro.

Post by: bluaki on August 26, 2014, 11:50:23 PM
Edit: the update is now live

Today's update is also the update with all the miscellaneous fixes like:
Online play stability
Track maps on the TV
Records page in the menu
Mercedes cars (free)
Next Race is default selection in GP instead of View Highlights
Saving kart customizations when you reboot

With changes related to the recent announcements too:
"Shop" button on Main Menu
Yoshi and Shy Guy recolors for people who preordered DLC
Character Selection and Cup Selection screen expanded to list DLC content; selecting them tells you to buy the DLC or wait for release if you pre-ordered it
Unlocked DLC content is indicated with a red exclamation mark icon

It seems the new cup icons are: Triforce and Yoshi Egg for Pack 1, Nook Leaf and Bell for Pack 2.
Color choices for both Yoshi and Shy Guy are: Green, Light Blue, Black, Red, Yellow, White, Dark Blue, Pink, Orange
The current DLC seems to be usable online, but I have doubts that the future packs will be.

The Amiibo update is probably something completely different from these DLC packs, but I expect it might be made available around early 2015. I interpret Link's presence in DLC as a suggestion that Nintendo likely isn't intending to use Amiibo to unlock non-Mario racers.

Also, this F-Zero track in Mario Kart 8 will probably be the closest thing we ever get to a new F-Zero game y/n

[spoiler]
QuoteHello everyone. This is Eiji Aonuma from Nintendo.

The other day, I gave you all a sneak peek of Epona, which is a weapon included in a DLC pack for Hyrule Warriors. Today, I would like to introduce another one of Link’s “rides” which will be included in the Mario Kart 8 The Legend of Zelda DLC Pack along with Link…the Master Cycle.

As you can see in this picture, the Master Cycle is designed after a horse, so it’s literally a horse of steel. (The Hylian Shield even looks like the cowling too.)

You can use many different types of bikes in Mario Kart 8, but this Master Cycle has a design that characters ride leaning forward, allowing you to make sharp turns on the course.

Also, this bike is designed a little bigger compared to other bikes, so you’ll definitely leave an impression on the track when you race with it.

The development team showed me how the Master Cycle races on the track, and I was overwhelmed by how great it looked. (It looked so cool that I also want it to appear in games I work on.)

Along with the first Mario Kart 8 DLC Pack, The Legend of Zelda Pack planned for release in November, you can also advance purchase the second DLC Pack, the Animal Crossing Pack either separately or together with the first pack in a bundle. Please check out Nintendo eShop or the in-game shop if you’re interested in this content (a software update is required in order to access the DLC content).

I hope you'll look forward to seeing Link take a leap outside of the world of Hyrule and making his karting debut!

Wario's Mine Kart level was highly criticized for being a great way to give people seizures.

That level was pretty cool though,

The wooden planks you drive on in that level are known to cause seizures, since there is rapidly changing colors.

there's another trailer today for Mario Kart 8 with amiibo

this video also spoils some of the DLC tracks even in its thumbnail:

[spoiler=video][youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMUqVHnMawQ[/youtube][/spoiler]

Basically, using a supported Amiibo will unlock a Mii Racer costume that corresponds to that character. The supported Amiibo range includes not only the 5 Mario characters but also Fox, Captain Falcon, Samus, Link, and Kirby.

Unsupported Amiibo figures include:
From first wave: Marth, Pikachu, Villager, Wii Fit Trainer
From second wave: Zelda, Diddy, Pit, Little Mac

The excite bike level is ok, reminds me of the baby Mario stage.

The Zelda stage is fantastically beautiful but kind of boring drive. I love the Yoshi stage from GCN, it's one of my favorite levels ever.

Hyrule Circuit is pretty but bland. A nice taste of what is to come for Zelda maybe?

Title: Re: Mario Kart 8 Updates: Nintendo Kart Edition

Nintendo's eShop isn't smart enough to know about games you own physically. You don't need to have the disc inserted in order to buy DLC. eShop also doesn't look at the records of which games you have ever launched.
Title: Re: Mario Kart 8 Updates: Nintendo Kart Edition
Post by: TooB on November 16, 2014, 07:57:11 PM
the only time with nintendo that you cant buy dlc without the game is on 3ds. if you try to buy dlc in the eshop, it launches the game to buy it there.

I'm pretty sure that, until today, it was slated as just "Spring 2015" without any month. I've never seen a claim that this will be May. confuseddood;

Also, this same April 23 update adds support for more amiibo: Mega Man, Pac Man, Sonic, Olimar, Toad, Bowser, Rosalina, Villager, Wario. Like the 10 amiibo that were supported before, these ones unlock more (honestly useless) costumes for your Mii Racer.

nintendo's definitely specifically said may before, as confirmed by some older articles on the subject:

Quote from: http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/11/05/mario-kart-8-november-dlc-release-date-announcedThe second pack is due for release in May 2015.


Quote from: http://kotaku.com/mario-kart-8s-dlc-is-great-but-it-still-needs-more-1658833270All of this is available for $7.99, or $11.99 if you purchase it along with the second DLC pack, which is coming in May 2015 and adds an equal amount of new stuff to the game.


and more recently,

Quote from: http://www.engadget.com/2015/04/01/mario-kart-8-animal-crossing-dlc-200cc/The next round of downloadable content for Mario Kart 8, a pack featuring tracks and items from the Animal Crossing series, will hit the Wii U on April 23rd, Nintendo announced today. The DLC pack was originally scheduled to launch in May. Hooray!

it is just sad to be because by the time i have a wii u the online scene will probably be dead (or less than it is now) and that is the main reason why i want it

MKDS was so fun during it's online prime. never got into MKWii but i heard that the online was actually really good especially if you got into competitive teams. i have a friend who was on this really good team and they'd battle other teams in team races and stuff and it sounded cool

Mario Kart 8 v4.0 Patch and Mario Kart 8 DLC 2 just released tonight

As a reminder, the update has:
200cc
9 new amiibo suits: Toad, Bowser, Wario, Rosalina, Olimar, Villager, MegaMan, PacMan, Sonic
minimap toggle with minus button

The DLC has:
Racers: Isabelle, Villager (2 forms: male and female), Dry Bowser
Crossing Cup: Baby Park (GCN), Cheese Land (GBA), Wild Woods, Animal Crossing
Bell Cup: Neo Bowser City (3DS), Ribbon Road (GBA), Super Bell Subway, Big Blue

A detail for Animal Crossing track: seasons are random, but Time Trial is always Summer

The current install sizes (including previous updates and DLC1) are:
443MB Update Data
1632MB DLC
2075MB total
Both the update and DLC take a fair bit of time to download. I think it was about 10 minutes each for me. Hopefully most systems will autoupdate today.

Gina was kind enough to leave Mario Kart 8 and Smash at my house while we both wait for our paychecks so we can replace both copies for each other but Nintendo told me that it's going to take between 2-5 days to move my NNID to my new Wii U. awdood;
