Topic: Mario Kart 8 - OT

Did anyone noticed that Cat Peach says "'cat'astrophic!" when she looses a race?
Really a predictable pun if you ask me. lol

Most colorful.

Anticipation is kicking in... I can't wait to get home and boot this up!

Eh...Ice Ice Outpost is not that great. The two path routes seem interesting in concept, but they're not unique enough. Imagine this on a track like, say Dragon Driftway. That would be neat.

And the name of the track begs the question: What is with Nintendo and double adjectives in their names?

I think all 8 are great tracks. I really have to applaud Nintendo for this DLC. They did really well with it.

Now, can we have some Battle Mode DLC? Pleeeease?

To be fair, Ice Ice Outpost is not bad. There have been much worse tracks. It just pales in comparison to the others.

They could have at least called it Icy Ice Post

Even if they don't fix battle mode, they should at least add battle arenas as an option.

I just can't get into the current battle format.

You're right, it's hard to compete in the company of all the DLC tracks. What I personally appreciate the most about the DLC is that they don't just add new tracks, but try add new things that aren't "allowed" in the standard MK8 design. In all the non-remade tracks, the designers really try to do new things with the MK8 gameplay concept. If they can be as creative and innovative in the May DLC update, it's quite a feat.

I think items are broken. My items do no damage, and randomly disappear after a bit

If I could I would hug you right now.

Is it online? If so, sounds like connection issues at some end.

The ice course wouldn't be that bad if they actually added ICE to the road somewhere!? O.o

I thought that Ice Ice Outpost was the best of the pack. It really had a nice feel to it and a great track design and music. My least favorite would be dragon driftway, the music was kind of bland with the track being kind of samey.

Well for some reason it only happened with one guy (when I attacked him)

Some of the new DLC music tracks with the (live) recording sessions. I really appreciate the care Nintendo put into the game music.

Only played the first 4 tracks because I don't know. Yoshi Circuit is the most meh choice possible but the three new ones are fantastic...as expected. I mean, the worst track in Mario Kart 8 is arguably that music one and it was one of my favorites in Mario Kart 7 so 8 has incredibly high standards so I'm not surprised they are great.

Also this is probably the Mario Kart where I've tried the most variety of characters and karts/bikes (though usually karts). So, I really like how you have to sometimes entirely change how you do drifting depending on the character. Link on the Epona bike thing is vastly different from my more generic choices.

I am slightly annoyed highlights aren't working right now...

Odd how Ice Ice Outpost seems to have the most mixed reactions. Also, there is ice. In the short cuts. Of which there are actually quite a few.

Mario Kart 8 DLC tracks are impressively stunning with Mad Catz Wii Component Cable in 1080p

i went full Hyrule, Link + Epona + Wheels, except the parachute, its a great combo, great speed and decent accel (2, i used to play with 3)

Doesn't look like anyone's in the tournament. I was too late.
Edit: Shortly after typing that, I checked again and a couple of people were playing.
