Looks fantastic; so often add-on content (even back before the days of DLC) feels like just that; tacked on rather than a cohesive part of the package, and overall just not as good. The extra missions in the PS2/Wii versions of RE4 come to mind, for instance.
But with MK8, the extras not only feel right at home, but at least going by the first pack, are just as great as the on-disc stuff.

Also, this may be the graphics geek in me talking, but does anyone else feel like you can notice Nintendo getting better with the engine from the original content through to this latest DLC?

I thought the same thing to. The lighting, shadows and even the models look crisper. It may be a visual effect because the new levels look beyond stunning but I felt that the progress they've made in the short time since launch they've really grown leaps in their ability to produce in HD.

I'll say it, art direction this cycle from the Wii U has given me more of a wow factor than anything else I've seen on the next gen consoles. 

Yeah, Nintendo's graphical output on Wii U has improved dramatically since launch. It's no secret they struggled with HD development early on, but they seem to have a good handle on it now. Comparing launch games like New Super Mario Bros U and Nintendoland to newer stuff like this and Captain Toad, it's not even close.
