I know nothing about cars. Heck, I can't even ride a bike! It just looks like it'd take off from the line like a slug. I like it but despite what I've said and I'm more than likely contradicting myself but, I can't be bothered to check! I can understand peoples concerns but not the hate this has generated. Mercedes has made a silly, crazy racer all the more silly and crazy. Just don't use it if you don't like it and if seeing it online will be an issue, just ignore it.
Casuals, the core and hermits. Nintendo try to add fun and a little wackiness here and there but you just can't please the latter. Gamers, particulary those 100% Nintendo only gamers won't look at anything, freaking anything besides Zelda and Mario and well, look at the pointless hate this has caused. Try to add a little off the wall magic and we're somewhere between the end of Nintendo to explosive, projectile vomiting.
You need your heads banging together sometimes. It's free and as has been said to death, ENTIRELY OPTIONAL.
@Sceptic
It is optional.
You have the option to use it and not use it. The same goes for other players. I'll be using it online like many others and having a blast. Too bad for you I guess!
Also you say all that about people seeing it online. Um, Gold Kart anyone? Yes, it sucks but it's kinda the only real unlockable if you like, in the game. Do people moan and whine over seeing that when they themselves either don't like it or don't have it? No, of course they don't. That, the Mercedes and all the other vehicles and parts are there to personalised your races and should not be ruined by people trying to Fus Ro Dah their hateful opinions on something really non inportant, down peoples throats. It is just a videogame and a freaking Mario game at that! Lighten the heck up!
Well it's happened sooo yeah... the hate is just a bit of a waste of time really aint it? Some Nintendo gamers are way too cut off and blinkered. Try some Cavalon on that lack of fun.
Pushed as a requirement? It'll be as optional as any other vehicle. The sports Coupe looks very similar to the Bugatti Veyron so complaining about this seems a little pointless. We have karts shaped like boats and sneakers so adding an actual Mercedez Benz in there only adds to the craziness. Some won't get it, many others will. There's just no need to bang on with all the hate for something free and entirely optional.
To the people moaning about this please, put a sock in it.
As Reggie said, There's nothing wrong with having a little fun. If you get flustered over little things such as this then... (dragged off soapbox)
@LunaticPandora Wouldn't you? If it was your company, you'd get everything you can from it. It's a great little site and one they didn't need to give us.
Zelda is awesome and always will be. Doesn't matter if it changes or stays the same to me. I'll love it either way. I've done a lot of catching up and I'll buy anything with Link in it! I want my first tattoo to be a Triforce! :3
@ActionMan It certainly doesn't help with public relations. A school in that situation would be subject to doubt and concern. Be it a school or a videogame that the press will jump on as 'aimed at kids' whatever way, it ends up tainted. They'd have a field day never mind GTAV.

This could've done with a poll.
And a chokey.

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Should Beware the Slippery Slope of Sponsored DLC
So, yeah.
That Mercedes eh? I wonder what stats it has. I'd imagine good handling but terrible acceleration.

Really? Going to go all CoD rage in Mario Kart? Enough people start thinking like that and you've torn the game apart. ~Golf clap~

Made my day So funny.
Peoples reactions over this are just plain silly. It's all just good fun!

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Should Beware the Slippery Slope of Sponsored DLC
The hate for this is absolutely ridiculous. Hiding it online for those who don't want to see it being used by those who do? Get over yourselves...
