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

DLC pack 1 released tonight, adding 3 of the characters and 8 of the tracks

If you preordered, the system is supposed to auto-install both the software update and the DLC pack, but if it doesn't, you might have to launch the game or open the eshop

Had to open my game to download, took 30 minutes on my crappy internet connection 

Have to wait to play it for now

I made time for it dammit and it was good.

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.

that excites me more actually since Baby Park is my favorite stage

Honestly I thought the Excitebike level was cooler than the videos made it out to be.

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

Wario's Goldmine.

i absolutely suck with link('s bike) lol

inner drift is the worst thing ever

[Classic]

Yoshi Circuit, just like the original and DS course remake, are boring. I don't understand why people like it.

[Samus Aran]

it's all right. just a standard "___ circuit" course for the most part.

i like the new ice stage and i like the zelda stage well enough too. mute city is cool. not really feeling the dragon stage. glad to see snes rainbow road back again. and wario's gold mine is great.

should i just get the dlc bundle right now despite not getting mk8 for a couple weeks lol
