Is anyone else hoping that there's a 'surprise cup'?

We've all assumed 4 new and 4 retro, because that's how it's always been (at least since double dash), but what if Nintendo are sitting on an extra 2 cups (1 new, 1 retro)?

Or, perhaps more likely, another 2 as DLC?

(And I'm not kidding, DLC cups for MK8 could be a very smart move by Nintendo)


Double Dash didn't have retro cups, it only had 4 like MK64. Super Circuit on GBA featured courses from the SNES original, but did not have official, different "retro cups" either. That didn't start until MKDS, and has been the format since then.

 

I wouldn't be adverse to having more remade retro tracks as DLC either, so long as they aren't absurdly priced. I would especially like to see whatever MK64 tracks they don't use initially, remade for DLC, as that's my fav. MK game.


I wasn't sure when retrotracks got added and took a punt!

For DLC I reckon $5 (€/£) per cup would be fair. Or even individual tracks for a buck or 2.

Yeah, but thankfully that's not the case with Mario Kart 8. They gave it a spring release window, and now they're gonna launch it at the latest possible time within that window! I'd think this would mean the game will be fully featured and will include all the necessary characters, though I guess who is necessary is a matter of opinion. I'd like to think Bowser Jr. should be here, but with seven of Bowser's other kids here, it can be argued that Jr. is unnecessary/redundant.

I personally want Dry Bones to be in MK8 since he was a pretty good character in MKDS in my opinion!

Me too, but at this point I'm not getting my hopes up.

'Only' 30?

I remember when this was enough:

First world problems, sheesh.

Next, are we going to moan and complain if Smash Bros. has only 60 playable characters?

I read the OP. My post was my response to it. Which part of what I said is not a relevant reply? From the OP:

'Anywhos, what's shown here is a bit concerning, as it would mean there's only 3 unrevealed characters left if 30 is the final amount...'

Thus my remark of such a thing being a 1st world problem, as no Mario Kart has ever had such a high number of playable characters, ever.

The Wii U is also a lot more powerful than the N64, so it's only normal we get more content.

That is not all that I said! Read the entire OP, or at the very least finish that sentence you cut off, and if you still don't understand what the issue here is, just read through the thread where I've clarified the issue numerous times already.
