Awesome news guys!!! Apparently Nintendo has plans to release more MK8 DLC later this year!

Source: http://www.cubed3.com/news/24020/1/nintendo-outlines-plans-fo...

See my reply just above over your message. This note is referring to the DLC2.

The MK8 producer has now been moved to head of mobile development.

I saw that, looks like DLC pack 2 and 200cc is infact the end of MK8 support. A huge shame!

Not necessarily. DLC can still be made while mobile development happens. Only the producer was moved. There's still an entire team of people who can work on more DLC for MK8. That being said, the second DLC Pack was probably intended to be the last pack. Splatoon and Smash will get DLC into next year though. Or at least Smash. Splatoon has the free content updates through August, but I'd be shocked if they didn't release paid DLC afterwards.

Smash doesn't even have all the things that were promised in the 50 fact extravaganza yet.

This is going to sound like a stupid question. But you do have to beat 150cc to play the 200cc right? Even if you paid for the dlc? It's the only part of the dlc that won't show up immediately?

Well since the 4.1 update, I think you no longer have to unlock it...
But before that, you needed to get all 8 gold trophies in 150cc to get 200cc GP.

I still find it bizarre that neither the Koopa Clown Kart or Bowser Jr. made it to the roster.

Does anyone think there will be any future DLC? I don't think there will be but I can't wrap my head around why they would not want Bowser Jr. on the roster, and I am someone who likes the Koopa Kids better but I know Nintendo favors him over them.

I also think the Clown Kart would have been an obvious choice as a vehicle. Especially since it was in older Mario Kart games.

What I hate however, are the annoying people that spam messages. I haven't found a way to disable them, so that really gets on my nerves.

Personally, I find the people that intentionally wait until the last second to cast a vote for the course to be much more annoying.

I'll admit, I'm one who usually spams the "Shall We Get Started" because people will literally wait until the very last second to choose a stage and it's pretty annoying.

One thing I wonder is how that "lobby" looks on my screen compared to the other 12 players. I'm willing to bet all the Miis are in a different order and doing different things on everyone's screen. I know when you're actually racing, nobody can hear the horns except their own but I tend to hit left and right before the race starts as the countdown starts so my racer is swaying back and forth and looking really hyper but I'm pretty sure other players can't see that on their end either.

It's a wonder the Bowser Mobile from Super Mario 3D World isn't a DLC kart.

Oh that's a great idea. Can't Believe they haven't put it in.
With the last pack having the "super bell" cup it would've worked well

It unlocks for everyone now, as does mirror mode. I just recently got MK8 and only have 6 gold trophies on 150cc.

Why do people keep adding Nin and the star character before their Mii names? Are they trying to pretend they're someone from Nintendo?

Also someone was playing as Wario online and we kept getting close and bumping but it was making Rosalina sounds instead of Wario.

Well, that's one image that's not leaving my head anytime soon.

Was Mariobro4. No, I'm not taking off my backpack...it's important.

Hello! Just a quick rant. It feels like im racing the same tracks online. It isnt random enough and feels like its been this way since the new DLC.

Now heres a question. By creating a tournament, will i be able to get around that?

No, the only way you can pick courses is to play with friends. I don't know why Nintendo doesn't just let people on regular online races to pick tracks and gray out the last 16 tracks that were played on. That's better than having a random number generator, which just ends up picking the same 3 selections over and over.

^That's a really good idea, I think it is much better than what they are doing now, but part of the issue is also that some people choose the same course over and over again.

Not much to say here. I like Nintendo. That's about it.

They wouldn't be able to, since the last 16 tracks you raced on aren't playable.

The UGXloggery ... really needs an update.

But each person would have had a different last 16 tracks hence nothing would be playable.

It'd have to be for the specific lobby, and not the individual players.

Sorry, when I said people choose the same track over and over, I meant in the current Mario Kart online, not the idea suggested above. When Jason said that the random course selector chose the same three tracks over and over again, I added that everyone also chose the same track. If one of the options you want happens to be alongside SNES Rainbow Road...good luck.

Tldr: I accidentally caused a misunderstanding.

Not much to say here. I like Nintendo. That's about it.
