especially considering the Blue Falcon is going to be a kart in one of the DLC packs as well as an F-Zero stage

@cowman: come on we all know MK7 was the kart racer one...

I hope they add Duck Hunt Dog to MK 8 too.

That does look pretty sweet.

Well, I'm on board.

I would buy that so fast, you have no idea.

Give him a Master Laser Sword, some Space Armor, etc. You can do the same gameplay loop, just use a sci-fi background instead of a fantasy one.

I'd love that!

Oh and, that motorbike looks pretty sweet too. :)

Super Smash Kart is a game I'd love to see. And have it be just as nuts as the roster for Smash Bros. Wii Fit Lady, Kirby, throw in anyone they like. It's really the next logical step.

Nintendo has aggressive downloadable content plans for Mario Kart 8, and it's beginning to tease what's coming.

I would hardly call two DLC packs, one released 6 months after launch and another almost a year after launch and each costing $7.99 (or $11.99 together) as "aggressive."

With that said I had preordered the DLC when it was announced. Mario Kart 8 for Game of the Year!

@coleslaw893: Depending on the size of the character they're just as good if not better. Middle weights I would say are best suited for the bikes. Sports bikes and regular bikes/karts do handle quite differently but both are quite viable.

@tpoppapuff: Considering Nintendo hasn't had much DLC content at all since the launch of the Wii U, it could be considered aggressive.

That thing is going to ground out, and Link is going to have a terrible accident.

I approve!

I was thinking the same thing. Wondering how long it's going to be before we see Orange County Choppers on TV riding one around.
