If I recall correctly it was slightly under 5 GB or thereabouts, but don't remember the exact number.

I can see Nintendo releasing DLC of battle arenas with some new characters thrown in.

Similar to what they did with Mario Golf this year. A lot of the reviews have made complaints of the lack of diversity in the character roster and the lack of battle arenas. DLC adding in some battle arenas and bringing in some veteran and new characters would fix all of this. That's at least my only real complaints with this game based on impressions. The actual gameplay and the tracks all seem phenomenal besides the battle mode and its lacking character roster.

Characters we might see in DLC would be Diddy Kong, Bowser Jr, Dry Bones and Birdo.

While I like the idea of trying something new with the battle mode, I think Nintendo should still provide options for those of us who enjoy the arenas.

I think the biggest problem with the battle mode is the lack of a map.
If you could clearly see exactly where on the track everyone else was, then I don't think using tracks instead of arenas would really be an issue.

Well I guess also not being able to see the ghost characters at all seems a bit weird.
I don't mind the idea of the eliminated players still being able to drive around and take players down, but you should be able to at least clearly see them so you can actually defend yourself.

In that case, it isn't really an issue with Battle mode, but rather an issue with the game overall. This can be said because the only map in the entire game is on the Wii U GamePad (at least from videos, but I'll get some hands-on time myself here in a little bit).

Well, it's not as much of an issue in races because your goal there is to keep driving forward and reach the finish line rather than actively seeking out players by driving in any direction.
Would still be nice to have an optional map on the main screen during races too though.

So my experience with this game wasn't that bad. When you're about to hold an item behind your vehicle, it feels a little unresponsive. In other words, it takes a while for the item to show up behind your vehicle.

Also, at first I thought Pink Gold Peach might not be as good as I thought, but it turns out that she's better than I expected. That's pretty surprising for me.
I love Rosalina, but I might end up using Pink Gold Peach more often.

It feels weird that Mario Kart is so close but I will be able to go on Vacation and come back before it is out

People keep saying the Xbox One doesn't have Backwards Compatibility.
I don't think they know what Backwards Compatibility means...

Well, looks like some people will always find some pointless thing to whine about:

Yeah, the guy he mocks goes complaining about freaking social justice crap and 'diversity' in the Mario Kart cast. Because hey, whining about it in Tomodachi Life wasn't annoying enough, now we've got people whining about games like Mario Kart 8 instead.

@DestinyMan You forgot to mention that Rosalina's voice is downright terrible.
After I won a race with her, she goes: "Oh Yeah! Winner!"
It may not seem like much typed out, but when you hear her say it, you may cringe if you're a Rosalina fan.

@DestinyMan I played as Baby Rosalina in the demo (as well as all the other ones I wanted to).
She has that echo effect Rosalina normally has, but that's the weird part. Rosalina has no echo effect, but her baby counterpart does...
Makes no sense. She sounds cute though.

I'm going to miss all the speculation, excitement, and rumors once this game arrives on the 30th. This is a huge thread, and it really kept the hype going for me. Guess we'll all be back to hype up Mario Kart 9.

Wait I got a question, since I'm hearing that the characters got new voice samples, did every character get new voice samples or are some the same from previous games?

UPDATE: Bowser just ate some cake and it was yummy
