B Dasher is Speeding Onto The Legend of Zelda X Mario Kart 8 DLC Pack

Aw ye, my favourite kart from DS/7 is returning.

awesome!

Awesome! Can't wait for the DLC, haven't played mk8 since July lol

Time to change my kart combo... Again...

Really, really strange that this kart wasn't included in the main game.

OK....

I hope there's an Zelda themed one as well! Maybe based on Epona?

Wahoo!!! I can't wait to race again in Mario Kart's second most iconic kart! (The pipe frame being number 1 naturally!)

Wasn't there a tiny screenshot of an Excitebike track as well, or was that in the Animal Crossing pack?

There better be an Epona bike. Even though I don't like bikes in this oneI would learn how.

"The Legend of Zelda X Mario Kart 8 will be the first paid-DLC pack for the Wii U racer this November"

Err, what? Then what are those two DLC packs (Zelda and Animal crossing) on the US eShop that you have to pay for right now? $7.99 each or $11.99 for the combo.

I trailer showing off the November DLC content would be amazing...

@Mommar - this is included as part of the Zelda pack that you can pay for now but isn't available till November

@Mommar Iirc this is that pack. The DLC on the eShop is a preorder.

@SkywardLink98 They do not make that clear.

I think new items would be great as dlc, the hookshot or the gust bellows would be good editions.

hope its some new bikes the last 2... epona? king of the red lions? hmmm...

@Mommar Your answer responded your question already. One "named" Link's DLC (to be released november 2014) other is Animal Crossing DLC.(Early 2015). You can buy them individually by 7.99 each or both by 11.99.

Cool! Wonder what other karts might return? Id love to see Cact-X return.

Baby mario is going fit comfortably in this car.

Me likes, sleek and stylish. I look forward to losing horribly while driving it ;p

Rubs hands together slowly

Excellent.. Excellent..

There better be an Epona bike or atv, though..

Yes, but I am more looking forward to the F-Zero track. I had no idea about that.
PLEASE be a Big Blue course or at least a medley style course that has the music track Big Blue, that whole game is built round that one song and it rocks

I care more about the tracks than I do about the cars or characters. I think there's already enough variations of cars/characters in the game for me to learn.

I thought we also saw a glimpse of some kind of Legend of Zelda-themed forest track.

Also, @Squashy Pipe Frame FTW. You can always spot the 64-era racers because they sport the pipes.

Cool! Certainly one of the best looking karts in Mario Kart DS.

I'm also hoping for a Loftwing kite. That combined with an Epona bike would be neat!

Awesome!

Really hoping for Waluigi's Pinball and a Samus themed cart. With wheels that look like morph balls. I can dream...

@Gen0neD Either Morph Ball Wheels or a Gunship Kart, but I'm hoping for a Loftwing Bike/Glider and Neo Bowser City.

I'm guessing that Link's vehicle will be a souped up version of the Spirit Train.

I hope they fix the track selection soon. They should make it so people cannot just choose the same tracks time after time. (Once something has been played you shouldn't be able to play it again until every other track has been played).

Speed is welcome. Still wish we knew more about the courses.

@Gen0neD Waluigi Pinball was already reused in Mario Kart 7.

Wow. Impressed! So tempted to pre-oder now to get the extra Yoshi colors...

Awesome

@Moshugan
Well there IS that weird horse carriage cart. Shouldn't be much of a stretch to stick a wooden horse head on a motorcycle.

I can't stop using the Gold Kart and Wheels.

I'm so proud of them

double dash kart!

I'm super excited, hope they port over more good classic tracks like Wario's Pinball, or N64 Bowser's Castle

Pac labyrinth from arcade!

Why not put an arcade track in???

So many F-Zero props, so little F-Zero.

Wait.... Wasnt This kart confirmed by the poster that showed diddy Kong ? We all know this did not happen but maybe future Donkey Kong DLC with diddy kong in it will be available in the future ?! As this was showed and just got officially revealed.

You can always spot the 64-era racers because they sport the pipes.

Thats me. I always use it with regular wheels. Doesn't matter what is better or gives more advantage, I like the original Mario Kart karts.

hope they port over more good classic tracks like Wario's Pinball, or N64 Bowser's Castle

They have both been as retro tracks already so no. Those that have not been done as retro tracks already should come first and when all of a game's tracks have been done, they should go back and redo the earliest retro tracks from that game. Mario Kart 64 only has Wario's Stadium left to do. When they do that one, they should really go back redo the MK64 tracks that appeared as retro courses on Mario Kart DS before going onto the next oldest.

I'm so glad they balanced the Karts and Bikes in this game, very pleased that the acknowledged the issue from MK Wii.

The B Dasher looks really good.

Sounds like it's coming together into a decent DLC pack.

Great news!

The B Dasher is my favourite Mario Kart, erm... kart... EVER!!

I am more interested in the tracks over the racers and karts (esp since additional peach and Mario variants = lame in my book).

Wario gold mine is a great choice. I wonder what the other 3 retro choices will be. I'd love to see a few more 3ds tracks brought over as I thought mk7 had a lot of great tracks.

Nice!!! I really hope the lucky 7 kart from mario kart 7 makes it in on one of these dlc packs. That kart is awesome!!

I'd like to see retro courses from the F-Zero series, Stunt Race FX, Diddy Kong Racing, the Wave Race series and Excite Truck

@DESS-M-8 Yeah, Big Blue, YEAH. Love that track, that song, that game. F Zero FTW.

@DESS-M-8
They already showed us a picture of the F-Zero track and it looks like it's Mute City, so the music will likely be the Mute City tune as well

I'd still like to see proper battle arenas.

"Top-speed vehicle"... Probably the same as Mach 8 and its equivalents.

Still waiting for Cheese Land to get announced as a DLC track.

@Drawdler I WANT CHEESE LAND TOO!!!

On the other hand: I AM GETTING VERY EXCITED!

I think it's safe to say that most of us just care about the new courses... and possibly Link... but mainly new courses.

For me it's worth the money right there.

Nice, this should be an awesome addition to an already great game. I usually oppose DLC for racing games because it can affect the balance of a race, but since they're pretty decently priced relatively few people won't get this. Regardless, they are giving a good amount of additional content to software that already felt complete.

@DESS-M-8 MK8s antigrav seems perfect for some FZero.

@MadAdam81
It does. Although I hope the blue falcon is just anti grav 100% and not just by the sections. It would also be awesome if it topped out at 1500kmh like in f-zero but that might be too much advantage.

i cant wait for more tracks

I never really used the B Dasher to be honest. It just doesn't suit my play style. I've always preferred high acceleration to high speed.

I love the B-dasher, and I love the Falcon. Bring it on.
