Topic: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Hmm, hoped for Mariokart 9. They are adding a lot of content though, but it won't be consumed by me since I have already the game on Wii u. Besides most are old tracks anyway (though there also seem to be a few "Tour" tracks. I never played Tour).

Given how many tracks they are adding, I wonder if these were originally meant for the next game but they've decided to add them as DLC because MK8 is still selling so well.

@Fizza I haven’t played tour but if Nintendo has access to updated models of the tracks because that is in tour why is that cause for concern? Why redo a model a second time if you have one you can port?

@Fizza Most of the tracks will be from Mario kart tour. Mario kart tour is a great looking game. It’s the game that took me away from mk8 d

@1UP_MARIO @Ryu_Niiyama I'm not complaining in the slightest since I never played Tour once so all of this will be brand new to me. Also, we're going to get some gorgeous remixes alongside them (CHOCO MOUNTAIN MY BELOVED) so it really isn't bad at all. I just thought it was an interesting thing to think about.

@Fizza if you’ve never played mktour your in for a treat. I hope some remix turbo levels get in

Just give me remakes of the Ghost House levels, or the SNES Bower Castle levels. Pleaaaaase!

I was thinking for the next Mario Kart games it needs some new contents such as Track Builder, Character customization like from Modnation Racers + transformable vehicles like Sonic Racing Transformed + three different vehicles type (land, water, air) from Skylanders Superchargers.

Everyone loves some Mario kart

I remembered there's already a somewhat Odyssey themed track in Mario Kart Tour, New York Minute. That may be the course linked with the Power Moon cup.

Which circuits would everyone like?

I'd really like; Peach Beach, Wario Colosseum and Dino Dino Jungle from Double Dash

I feel like Luigis Mansion DS is an absolute shoo-in. That track has been in multiple games before 8 and is one of the most liked courses in the series. Also, gotta put in a word for Waluigi Pinball. Like, come on.

The downside of the 48 new tracks is that the last wave of tracks is a LONG wait, and might be posssibly overlapping the release of the next gen nintendo console.

Nintendo still needs to add a dedicated weaponless, or shrooms-only, online race mode, not this wide & spotty patchwork of user-created tournaments, tediously searching through many empty tournaments until you finally find one that's actually active, or you don't find any active at all.

@WoomyNNYes I was thinking about that, I posted in the Switch speculation thread that surely this means the new console isn't coming until 2024.

@Fizza aah ok. Then if it’s true I suppose it’s a matter of not redoing work. Time is money. I do wonder how the anti grav sections will go.

@Ryu_Niiyama OH I DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THAT NVM THIS COULD BE AMAZING.

@MarioBrickLayer I guess the point I meant to make is, I'm not sure I'll be able to enjoy the new tracks that late in the game. I'm leaning toward being over the game as it is.

First world complaint, maybe. At least we're getting something.

@Grumblevolcano Ooh yeah see if those are good courses they should add them, played a bit of tour like two years ago and stopped, glad they're porting some.

I want them to add waluigi pinball to mario kart 8 deluxe
one of my favourite maps

I'm surprised nobody here ever think about this racing game from PlayStation 3 with very interesting concept.

I have this PS3 game.
Not really fan of the character design but it has interesting gameplay that Mario Kart still never have, Track Editor and Character + vehicle customization.
If Mario Kart 9 have those features, it will be the best Mario Kart game ever.
