And don't hate me but I'd prefer MK8 DLC rather than an F-Zero game. :L

Honestly they could easily do both as there should be plenty of time before they have to make another Mario Kart game.

I don't hate you. XD Mario Kart DLC would be pretty sweet if it's priced right. I don't think it would be too much trouble to do both, but man, I'm just really thirsty for some nice new F-Zero.

I feel ya mate. I'm still waiting on another Kirby game, which I find pretty odd considering the tons of games he got for DS.

Same here. I'm sure he'll make an appearance next year. Hal hasn't had a release since the Anniversary Collection last year, and how many development resources could that really have taken up?

Perhaps they've been working on a massive game, *gasp* 3D Kirby!!!

Honestly, similar to Galaxy 2's Mario 64 level making me just wish they'd make a Wii remake of Mario 64 (and an HD remake of that game would still be more than welcome), playing the handful of MK64 tracks in MKWii just made me wish that they had remade MK64, with better graphics and online. I absolutely would buy that. Unlike every other MK game in the series, MK64 did not have a single racing track that I outright hated.

And on another personal note, I really don't care for the 3D remakes of the SNES and GBA game tracks....I dunno. Just not a huge fan. I loved those games, as they were/are. Just not a fan of the "3D" transition.

But the only difference is that they're actually in 3D, rather than pseudo-3D. Also, MK7's SNES Rainbow Road is the pro-est, since you have to be a pro to not die on it hehe.

Oh, and if you keep getting Mario Kart games from DS onwards, you'll eventually have all MK64 tracks remade lol!

Nintendo's response to DLC, is that they prefer to give out a "complete" experience with their games, not finish them with DLC.......but for Mario Kart, this "explanation" wouldn't be a good one if they chose to not allow for DLC, because DLC would definitely leave people playing this game over and over again.

You can finish a game 100% first then have DLC, is what they meant. They did this with FE: Awakening, and I hope to see them do it with MK8 aswell! It'd be really smart for them to since players who buy the DLC will basically be advertising it to everyone else when they use it online, whether it be a character, kart customization, or a course. Much extra money to be had there, as if they weren't already gonna get enough!

I know, but in the past they still didn't add DLC to many games despite what you said.

Hopefully they notice the gains for this though! More money for them, and more fun for us! :D

What are these many games? I feel most of their games wouldn't make sense with DLC. Certainly not Paper Mario, Luigi's Mansion, or Animal Crossing among others. Plus it's not like they have to make DLC for every game even if they can. They could just move on to the next project, which right now makes sense considering the Wii U's situation.
