Re: Mario Kart 8
Looking at the character roster excluding the Mii Mario Kart Wii and 7 had exactly half of the whole roster available at the start, but 8 has 16 at the beginning and 13 unlockables. So... DLC is very likely at this point imo, if DLC is going the be a thing at all I'd say the minimums are 2 characters and cups to go with them, much like how Mario Golf World Tour is pairing characters with courses. Maybe I'm just getting hopeful at this point, since it definitely takes time to make even one course, let alone with the same detail as the rest of the game.
