>Game cost $60
>DLC costs $12 for 50% more content
So why are people complaining? The Price per track value went down.
>>260051578
Oh and BTW, Both packs add a total of 2gb worth of data. So no this ain't on disc DLC
Because Link and Villiager are the ONLY characters worth getting out of the series. who wants a bunch of side characters?
>>260052053
>Insulting /v/'s furry waifu
>>260052053
You get new tracks too.
>>260051578
Source on the price? I can't tell what site that is.
Because 2 characters is not "50%" of the game. I spent sixty 4 bucks for the game, I'm not spending more just to have another 2 characters. It's literally tf2-tier, purely cosmetic
Honestly the only thing bad about this is Cat Peach and Tanooki Mario. Costumes for characters already in game feels like a cheap cop-out.
http://mariokart8.nintendo.com/dlc/
>>260052053
You're buying the DLC for the entire Mario Kart worth of tracks, not for the dumb characters they threw in on top of them.
>>260052791
>6 characters
>8 vehicles
>16 tracks
Are the new tracks available online? If I don't buy the DLC will I be left out?
>>260052791
>16 new tracks
>"purely cosmetic"

Nintendo's website
>>260052791
who buys DLC for characters? Its the maps since they add something fresh.
Characters/Karts are only a bonus
>>260052959
Ok, i'll admit I thought it was only 2 characters, but still, IMO, Dec should be free since I already gave Nintendo some hadd earned shekels, they shouldn't want more because they made more tracks, we already gave them money.
>>260053074
Yeah, pretty much. All the did is change which direction you're driving in by changing what way the track turns. Pretty basic.
>>260052785
http://nintendoeverything.com/mario-kart-8-dlc-officially-announced/
>>260053187
There are also rational people who see that this is a great value and would point out other great DLC for non-Nintendo games.
I so fucking hate DLC
Charging extra for characters that should have been in the game sucks so much.
DLC should be about extending the life of the game, like expansion packs used to be years and years ago.
Fuck everything.
>>260053474
>DLC should be about extending the life of the game
You mean like adding new courses to race on?
Damn, why didn't Nintendo think of that?
>>260053474
>New tracks 6 months and a year after the game came out isn't extending the life of the game
>>260053474

So people are finally starting to realize the truth
This should have been a free update
>buy mk8
>free pikmin 3
I really hope they dont stick with DLC, but I'm fine with getting this one.
>>260053474
>>260053429
Entitled pricks like you give me so much hate for the world.
>>260053971
Do you even own a Wii U?
As long as Nintendo doesn't go back to Fire Emblem Awakening style cheat DLC I'm fine.
Buying this right away because I know I will anyway. Also I get those new Yoshis and Shy Guys.
I just mocked this up.
>>260053429
>I shouldn't have to pay for food anymore since I already paid last month
>I shouldn't have to pay for TRANSPORTATION since I just paid already
>>260053971
They already pulled the free update shit with the Mercedes-Benz promotion.
Also, holy fuck you faggots are so fucking entitled when it comes to DLC
>>260053039
More than likely, yes. Adding character skins or something for compatibility with people who didn't purchase them is one thing, adding entire new tracks is a whole 'nother matter.
>>260053971
>>260053474
>6 characters(not including the Shy Guy and Yoshi recolors)
>8 new vehicles
>16 tracks, 4 cups worth
>12 bucks
That's an incredibly good deal. Why should it have been free? I mean, if this was Microsoft or Sony, this would probably be 20-30 bucks.
Based Ninty, I swear man. This is how you do DLC.
>>260054359
I've always wondered why they couldn't give MK costumes. Also bullshit how only the girls got seperate outfits on bikes
>>260054462
"DLC is okay if nintendo does it" the thread
god you nintoddlers are so fucking pathetic
>people defending cut content because it's Nintendo
>Make a new mario kart with less content than previous versions
>Charge money for new versions
>>260054462
>if this was Microsoft or Sony, this would probably be 20-30 bucks.
And available day 1.
And the normal game would have half as many tracks at release.
>>260054607
>Also bullshit how only the girls got seperate outfits on bikes
Don't be gay and Bowser's already naked anyways.
ITT: DLC is okay now because Nintendo is doing it.
>>260054714
>less content
This is where you outed yourself. Try again.
$12 in USA and £14 ($23) in UK?
How does that make any fucking sense.
>>260052791
>>260053074
Hell, even TF2 gives out maps for free
Nintendo finally went full jew, they were just behind the curve
>>260054714
>>260054703
Please tell, how did it have less content than previous iterations.
>>260054675
No, it's more like "DLC is okay if it's done right"
Nintendo does it right, since it's cheap, adds a good amount of content, and is generally very good quality
>>260054675
>DLC is okay if it's new content at a fair price
I don't see the problem here friend.
>>260054765
Not even gay but it would have been cool to see Mario or Luigi with a helmet or something besides their usual wear if the fucking princesses get that treatment
>>260051578
Remember when Nintendo said they would never have paid DLC? Oh the good ol days.
>>260054445
It's basically forced DLC. I have no choice but to buy it for online. Fucking bullshit.
>>260054856
DLC was always ok as long as it was good like Undead Nightmare
>>260054927
TF2 is f2p
Of course the updates are free
>>260054927
TF2 is free to play and has definitely sucked out more money from it's players in it's life than Mario Kart has
>2 GB
They seriously need to sort out the space issue on the Wii U. What happens in 5 years time when they no longer support downloads?
32GB just isn't going to cut it for all the games that might have dlc.
>>260054927
Then Valve went full jew by charging for new game modes PER PLAY in TF2.
>>260055095
[citation needed]
>>260051578

>>260055214

It is written in the ancient scrolls of yesteryear that Team Fortress 2 used to cost 20 gold pieces, and even then were the updates free.

>>260055101
You can still play the old courses just fine. Once the "NEW DLC" smell wears off people will stop playing them so much.
But yea, I agree that it does suck for people who don't wanna buy it at first.
>>260055095
>50% more content.
How are you even complaining, what are you mad because you didn't get a DLC that was only one level and 2 new guns?
Why did Petey and Boo get cut? Fucking stupid.
>>260055224
Wii U supports external hard drives. Just buy a 2 TB and you'll be set.
>>260055459
That's what he's fucking saying you retard.
>>260055464
I would really like a Baby Park Remastered. That shit was chaos with friends.
>>260052882
I don't have a problem with paying for new costumes, but those are shitty powerups. The cat suit embodies what is wrong with modern Mario, for me.
>>260054714
they're all new characters. given i'd rather Funky, and King Boo back. but you know at least Nintendo isn't going full jew with DLC.
>>260055581
so they can sell it to you at a later date
just like lucas :)
just like snake :)
just like ridley :)
>>260055510
So what happens? Are they going to split up the servers
Or do I just get booted every time they pick a dlc map
Its fucked either way
>>260054856
Its ok if it is done right.
>NSMBU and NSLU
$20 DLC with 120 new courses(And new physics)
>MGWT
$15 for 6 courses. Base game price was dropped $10. Still had more content than any other Mario Golf
This isn't $5 for 3 cars or $10 for 3 new maps. Or worse Costume DLC.
I'll gladly listen if you can name DLC that has come outand cost moneythat matches up to what nintendo is doing now.
>>260051868

That's the faggiest sentence I heard on /v/ today
>>260055754
Probably boot you.
How am I going to get the money for this?
I just want to know if this will be usable online
I can see characters going online just fine, but people not having the tracks is gonna destroy the community if you cant play with people who dont have the DLC
>>260056081
Suck some dicks.
Are these going to be new tracks, or all retro tracks?
>>260055754
As this is requires download it means you won't be able to play with people using dlc racers either, there will likely be separate lobbies.
>>260053431
Holy shit, by your fucking logic there should only be one track with two versions; mirrored and not mirrored.
>Diddy Racing expansion pack
>Kirby's Air Ride expansion pack
>F-Zero expansion pack
how would you feel
>people saying that Nintendrones defend DLC because Nintendo is doing it confirmed for having not played the game
The game has 8 full cups and a shittonne of characters. $12 after the fact for more courses and fan favourite characters is totally worth it. We're not defending the DLC because it's Nintendo, we're defending the DLC because it was done right.
>>260056238
That sucks. This is actually worse than regular DLC. At least I can ignore regular DLC.
>>260054905

That would be great. It could tie in with the release of those games too.
Like if MK8 detects save data from those games it unlocks all that content. Yeah, great idea man.
>>260054856
post game DLC is fine
>>260056212
Probably half and half
Original track images in the preview images, and they mention Wario's Gold Mine coming back
>>260055934
It says you'll need at least 2 GB, that's all. They're estimating it's a little more, but you'll need at least 1 GB per pack.
Since you can't use the other DLC online, what makes you think you will be able to play any of this online?
>>260056362
It shouldn't be done in an online multiplayer game for anything that isn't cosmetic, is my problem with it.
>>260054936
>>260054889
It didn't have any unique battle maps
So, it has less content
>>260055934
Because they probably are using the current info they have.
3 characters+4 karts+8 tracks~1gb(Probably less so a round up)
MK8 is 5gb itself with 30 characters, 32 tracks, and the backend
>>260055934
it says it in the image,
still bullshit.
dont have a nintendo anything, normally a bigger fan of nintendos methods than other companies but DLC is DLC and always sucks.
>>260055934
It says it on the page that youll need 2gbs of space to install the DLC
>>260056240
Makes sense. Would severely decrease development time, reducing cost and ultimately the price of the game. Win/win situation for developers and consumers.
>>260056389
>Releases content 6 months after launch
>IT MUST BE CUT CONTENT
>JEWTENDO DOES IT AGAIN
Do you just never want games to be released?
>>260056485
If that's the case I'm fine with it. I wasn't aware of other DLC, I usually ignore it.
>>260053720
It damn sure is for a Nintendo game. Mario Kart 8 will be the one and only Mario Kart on the Wii U. I like the way they're handling this.
>>260056425
Not when it splits the online playerbase
>>260056485
probably because the MB DLC is not balanced and just a result of a marketing agreement.
>>260056529
that's retarded
>>260051578

Mildly disappointing.
>>260056238

I've only seen this kind of thing happen in one other game, and it was Sony Smash. Online random matches were able to select the dlc stages even if you didn't have them. It's when you wanted to do inhouses do some rounds with a few buddies in the same room that you were required to own the stages.
Hopefully Nintendo isn't dumber than the incompetent fucks at Superbot and SSM.

That's something very easy to estimate though, besides Nintendo is pretty good at compressing shit, Super Mario Galaxy 2 was like 1.2GB
>>260051578
The problem is this is how it always STARTS
DLC didn't start with day one weapon skins and like one multiplayer map for $20. It started as things like this
The end of the day, you just got to draw the line somewhere and people drawing it here are in no way less correct then those that draw the line at mapacks
it's preference
The real mystery is why do you care so much that they're not supporting it?
>>260056541
DLC doesn't always suck.True, day one DLC is bullshit but there are examples of DLC done right.
Nintendo really just should have started doing DLC at the same time as everyone else. They wouldn't be getting shit on for it now if they did.

>>260057571
>It is now possible to play offline races where 2/3 of the entire race is made up of Mario and Peach
>dlc done right
Remember when MKDS added 16 extra tracks, a mission mode and bossfights? Remember how it didn't use this as a justification to jack up the price?
Now MKU adds 16 tracks (after removing boss fights, missions and battle courses) and suddenly that makes the game worth $77
>>260056671
You gotta understand the jewish mindset. All downloadable content, even after the game has been out for a while, is retroactively known as a fact to be content cut from the main game just so they can sell it to you for more than the base price.
This content is an integral part of the main experience and they're only making it separately so they can charge you for it. DLC is always bad no matter how much it adds, because adding more content obviously means they took that content out from that completed full game before they released it, every time.
>>260058314
I think Mario Kart should still be Mario Kart, and then they make another racing game for all Nintendo characters, it would be better that way.
>>260058213
horse armor wasn't the first DLC
I'm trying to find the first but wikipedia is dicks. It implies Dreamcast started it all

No you idiots. Read what I'm posting.
I don't mean "it" as in DLC itself but instead when you draw the line. You make excuses, "this is worth it" "this isn't" I mean fuck even looking at horse armor, it was garbage but some of the other oblivion DLC wasn't.
The point is so long as you consume it expect more. Good? bad? that's unclear, probably examples of both are on their way
Both from Nintendo, the company many swore just a bit ago and even supported by some simply because of the lack of DLC. Now they got it and some will say its okay others wont
Again, the real issue is why get upset? If someone doesn't like it that's just as fine as you lot enjoying it

This is DLC done right. I don't know why you faggots are complaining. EA would have charged $30 for each pack and $50 for a season pass.
Why the fuck aren't the mario kart, party, and sports games just Nintendo themed instead of just Mario? I kind of get before Galaxy, but now the Mario games are so varied that the spin-offs seem unnecessary when we get Mario in different flavors like 2 or 3 times a year.

Yeah but "DLC is DLC" according to /v/, and it's all bad no matter what.
There can be GOOD DLC. Every company releases good DLC from time to time.
People are giving Nintendo shit for something that the rest of the industry has been doing for an entire generation.
This whole "It's only okay when Nintendo does it" is retarded. Nintendo is capable of making both good and bad DLC, just like everyone else.
For a Mario Kart game, which typically ships with 32 tracks, 12 bucks for 16 more tracks is a fucking great deal.

>Baby Space Peach
And that's not even including Fat Mario, Fat Peach, and Fat Baby Peach.
>>260059556
They're charging for additional content that in the past most devs would ship as a free update.
>>260059556
>Better to have additional content, which is entirely optional, than nothing.
Yeah, split the dwindling online base!
I definitely prefer this to nothing
>>260059398
Because they've actually started adding enough shit to the Mario universe and drawing from obscure enough corners of it that we get an interesting variety. The Koopalings seem like a nice start to me, even if there are kind of a lot of them to include all of them as characters.
>>260059847
>nintendo waited a few weeks to release cut content from their game
>that means its not "day one" dlc and its ok
fuck off back to reddit
>>260059757
Yeah but this /v/ and all. Shitposters gonna shitpost.
>>260060098
>a few weeks
Didn't MK8 release in May?
>>260059716
>Kacho I have...bad news. That wasn't the ending
>EH
>Kacho, you have to buy the dlc to see the true ending
>>260059448
When were additional characters and tracks after release free? In addition, they are releasing a free DLC Kart.
>all this fucking retards cockriding nintendo and willingly paying out the ass for retarded rehashed DLC just because it's nintendo
You're as bad as fucking DayZ fans
>>260059715
>Why not make people work for free?
I am completely fine with and proof that Nintendo knows what the fuck they're doing.
Mario Kart 8 has the same amount of tracks as most previous Mario Kart games, as well as about the same amount of racers. Sure, the Battle Mode is gone, but still, I'd say Mario Kart 8 was a finished product.
Now, this DLC is literally what it is: downloadable content. You get more of the game if you enjoyed the core experience, which was not ruined at all by the way.
>>260059757
>For a Mario Kart game, which typically ships with 32 tracks, 12 bucks for 16 more tracks is a fucking great deal.
What if it came out 6 moths later with 48 tracks
That would be a better deal
>>260059352
That's not analogous at all. This is you getting to your stop and then DEMANDING the bus takes you to the other side of town for free.
>>260060034
>that in the past most devs would ship as a free update.
Since when? The mid to late 90s on PC?
>Buy GT6
>10 free cars since launch
>1 new track
>2 modified track variants.
I love it when devs give free stuff.
>Nintendrones shit on other companies selling DLC for a decade
>Nintendrones lap up every bit of DLC Nintendo shits out
Hypocrites
>>260059765
>he's terrible at analogies he must be stupid
was actually the point being made.
>>260060474
>>260060258
It's been nearly 2 months I think. DLC doesn't even release for another two months.
>>260060065
>Because they've actually started adding enough shit to the Mario universe and drawing from obscure enough corners of it that we get an interesting variety
oh yeah, love those NSMB games
>>260060258
Yes. Don't listen to retards.
>>260055754
will probably hook you up with other non dlc players
>>260060003
Don't forget Skinny Tall Fat Mario.
>>260060268
Since when were EA games on GC CX?
How much time until they start to do early access as well?
Why the hell is the second pack not coming out until fucking May?
>Tanooki Mario
>Cat Peach
>Not Kirby who has had his own racing game
>Not Captain Falcon who has had nothing but racing games
>Dry Bowser of all the Mario characters they could have chosen
Wasted opportunity
Isabelle, Villager, and Link are cool though
>>260060409
Plus, since tomorrow's patch is gonna include the map on the same screen as the actual game, maybe now the battle mode will actually be playable.
>>260060759
Because they have to make it.
>>260060337
>$12
>paying out the ass
well I think I know somebody who doesn't have a job
This fucking hypocrisy.
>oh my god DLC done right
>I hope Nintendo is rewarded for doing dlc so well
>any other company would charge double!
>I can't wait to give Nintendo my money!
Nintendo fans are literally the worst.
>>260060569
and the 2nd pack comes next year with one of the pics blocked so it's not even ready to show.
>>260060587
Sadly that's an example of a rare exception and far from the norm. People constantly bitch and moan that Nintendo doesn't act enough like the competition. Be careful what you wish for.
>>260060883
I have a job I just don't spend my money like a fucking imbecile, it's why I have a nice house and a nice car
>>260060759
They have to make it. This isn't cut content, it's being made from scratch. Besides, I doubt they'd pour all their resources into making DLC.
>>260060436
I don't follow the logic. Games don't get better the longer they're in development. They aren't fucking oranges.
The only reason they're even making DLC is because the game sold very well.
>Nintendo doesn't do DLC
>wahh gotta wait for another title for more content
>Nintendo does DLC
>wahh muh promises, DLC should've been free
Come the fuck on, Nintenbros.
>>260059352
>get on the Nintendo subway
>fee is 5 dollars
>gladly pay, as it will take you to your destination
>"If you want, we can take you to a tropical resort, give you food to go along with it and some bitches to fuck too! Remember, it's 2 extra dollars and completely optional."
>Other companies' trains
>halfway there the train stops
>everyone who doesnt pay the extra 2 dollar DLC price get off, you are no longer allowed to ride the rest of the way
>>260060978
>we don't want Nintendo to give free updates, that's too much like the competition!
Really?
>>260060997
>No budget for entertainment
Guess you shouldn't be buying video games at all, or going to movies, or dining out.
>>260060769
>no Captain Falcon
Man, that is so gay.
>>260060895
Some are but I'd say this is an example of DLC done right. Given the release schedule, this is clearly new content that they're working on. I'll gladly pay for DLC like this along with some other good ones like Far Cry Blood Dragon and RDR Undead Nightmare.
>>260051578
OMG Animal Crossing Villager!
>>260060813
They clearly have several of the assets ready. How does finishing up eight tracks and three characters take six months when pretty much everything else is already done? How the hell did the three Mercedes cars take two months?
>>260060759
Maximumize profits. Make idiots think they got good value out of their purchase, build up hype for the second release, more idiots buy into it.
>>260058496
Remember when you weren't a faggot?
>>260061182
That was a shit analogy.
>>260061213
Where did I say that or even imply that?
My point was that I just don't spend money on retarded cash grabs
>>260061146
>free updates don't exist
>>260060895
Do you have any examples of another company doing DLC this well? And for such a high profile game?
>>260061284
They probably work on it during lunch breaks. I imagine they're more busy with whatever their big christmas title is going to be.
>>260060769
>implying they aren't saving that for future DLC packs
I might just be Ridleyfagging, here, but they even had teased at Kirby in Mario Kart in one of the trailers for Smash Bros (oddly).
