A listing on Nintendo's UK store has outed the existence of some new and exciting downloadable content for Mario Kart 8.
Nintendo has recently restored Wii U Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon online after five months of being offline.
Mario Kart 8 has been out for nine years now if you include the Wii U version. Despite the Switch port continuing to sell insane numbers since it came out in 2017, many people believed that a new installment was way past due. When the Booster Course Pass was announced instead, it was a bit controversial, with one side of people stating that it was time for a new game, and the other side believing that this was the best course of action and that there's nothing else Nintendo can do to innovate the franchise.
There's nothing wrong with the games, but after most of them being very samey, I got a bit bored. I liked MKDS because it added a mission mode, yeah it didn't have maybe as many as I'd like but it was decent for variety.
I really prefer the new Mario Party for the different types of games in it.
Mario Kart doesn't really feel fresh because you know what to expect for every new game pretty much. The single player mode of DKR was far more in depth a game vs Mario Kart IMO, MK is probably better for multiplayer though.
It needs a campaign mode like Crash Team Racing with open hubs, driving around the Mushroom Kingdom, selecting your races and the like. Have a system like the CTR tokens within the races that then unlock secret racing cups later on or the time relics to unlock other things.
There's nothing wrong with the games but when you've had the same set up for so many games it just gets a bit samey after a while.
They could even have something like a track creator like Modnation Racers or something.
After starting with the first game on SNES, I think the last one I bought was on the DS.
I think the next gimmick should be interactive tracks with obstacles and traps such as maybe throwing a shell ahead to make something fall on another player Also have water and mud parts that effect handling more also fire parts that can cause you to over heat if you stay in it to long etc...
I don’t think it needs ‘a gimmick’ so much, because gameplay is pretty much perfect right now, but I would like the next Mario Kart to do either a ‘track-builder’ thing, so you just get access to the tools and make your own tracks (think Modnation Racers or LBP Karting), and/or expand upon ‘Mario’ Kart and open it up to the rest of Nintendo IPs, and just do a ‘Nintendo Kart’, so we’d see more of Zelda, but also Starfox, Kirby, Metroid, Valkyria Chronicles*, etc.
* I know, technically not ‘Nintendo’.
Memes have become an important part of humor in the 21st century. These are some of the best things in games that became memes.
"“Sus” is short for suspicious. It was first used in Among Us where players discuss whether a player is responsible for murders in the spaceship." Nope. In use for a century. Simple googling would have done the trick. Funny article, but come on, do some research before you post something as truth.
Good article on "sus"

These packs have to be some of the best DLC packs I've seen in my life! Man, I really need that job now!
EDIT: anyone else is bothered by the fact that the source is Nintendo UK's page? Wouldn't that make it not a leak?
Holy Shit

"3 Characters: Tanooki Mario, Cat Peach, Link"
They are kidding right...out of all the characters they give us Mario and Peach in costumes. COME ON...
How about Zelda or even someone like Professor E. Gadd
The Smash Bros line up is looking fantastic yet this game seems to be lacking. It would be much easier to add characters in this game since you don't need to balance them out like in Smash Bros since it's the Karts which make up the different stas.
I mean Tanooki Mario and Cat Peach are skins
On the Nintendo store it says
"As a bonus for purchasing both packs - as a bundle or separately - you can get eight different-coloured Yoshis and eight different-coloured Shy Guys that can be used right away."
So they can do skins, this is what Tanooki Mario and Cat Peach should of been. Use an existing character and add accessories to them you've unlocked.
Uh oh! It's about to go down! New courses!!!
"The Add On Content packs include classics like Wario’s Gold Mine from Mario Kart Wii, as well as new courses, some taking place in the worlds of The Legend of Zelda and Animal Crossing."
Amazing!!!
Don't care much for characters or karts but 16 new tracks is amazing, will definitely buy.
