Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Re: Mario Kart 8

The same DLC-centered conversation with the exact same expectations has yet again appeared here.

Honestly though, nobody complained about the smaller rosters of previous games, this one has the record of 30 and everyone want DLC. Super Mario Kart had 8 and no one complained.

Re: Mario Kart 8

I'm really more making note of the amount of veterans that were cut rather than the actual amount of characters, especially considering this game technically has more content than any previous game if you don't take into account original courses for Battle Mode. Point being that while I expect DLC to come eventually I won't necessarily be disappointed if it never comes around.

Yoshi's always been my go-to character so I've never had a problem when it comes to character rosters.

Per this. Complaining about a roster on a racing game is bad.

Some people are just sore losers when they don't see their characters make the cut. Though it is odd how Diddy got ignored, even though he is in Smash 4.

I'm more concerned about stages. Characters are second nature, since my main, Luigi, will always be in.

Diddy got Smash 4 so he can skip this one, we already have one Kong. This is Mario Kart 8, not Donkey Kong Kart 8.

But still, it's just quite weird how Diddy was in the last two major console Mario Karts, only to be ditched for Mario Kart 8. This also applies to Bowser Jr., Birdo, and King Boo.

Re: Mario Kart 8

Does anybody else get the feeling the game was rushed? From the strange roster choices, to no new tracks for Battle Mode, it feels like Mario Kart 7's situation. Which makes sense, considering they're both being released as killer apps for a floundering system at its time.

Re: Mario Kart 8

Being rushed seems VERY ironic for a game that was in development since 2012, but I guess when the game only uses around 4.83 GB on your Wii U's hard drive, it makes you wonder if not enough content was implemented into the game. Tropical Freeze required over 11 GB of hard drive space after all.

Here I stole it from Wayoshi's post from GameFAQs

So much for everyone being treated equally in the stat total department then...

Why hide the stats in the first place? Scared they're gonna overwhelm potential new players?

Grow a pair, Nintendo.

Nintendo wasn't afraid to reveal all the Mario Kart Wii stats though.
