nekunando Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 Haha.. that's cool Can we have 4 new cups now, please?
Hero-of-Time Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 I fired this up last night for the first time in AGES. I was pretty bored and was looking for something fun to play to pass the time, so I decided to reinstall this and have a few quick games online. 2 hours later and I was still playing the thing! What made it enjoyable was that I picked Regional when searching for a match and was paired up with a bunch of UK people, with other Europeans filling in the remaining spot. Most of the UK players stuck around for most of the time that I was playing and some nice rivalries were formed in this 2 hour period. I don't think I won a single race but it was such a laugh hunting down those who had wronged me in a previous race. A Russian player dominated every race and had an INSANE score next to his name but methinks there was something fishy going on with him as his username mentioned "lag" and "hax". Still, it was fun playing the game again and it was just what I was looking for. 2 1

You’re not interested, but figured I’d mention it again anyway. Glad to hear you’re still getting some fun from the game though, it truly is a multiplayer classic.
Hero-of-Time Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 I've had another good session on this, this evening. I actually managed to win a few races as well! The auto acceleration option was on ( my niece was playing on this over Christmas ) so I knocked it off and started winning. No idea if that made a difference. Once again a few rivalries were made, mostly with German players. Methinks I was being targeted because we are still in the World Cup. Well, at least until Saturday. 1 1

Hero-of-Time Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 Mr. Takahasi says in the video below that more updates are on the way for the game. It's not clear whether this means more Labo implementation or something more substantial, like more tracks or racers. 1

Well there was a July Nintendo Direct rumour floating around on 4Chan the other day and one of the so called leaks was Mario Kart DLC that had 2 new cups and a bunch of new characters, with Birdo being one of them.

Interesting, I wasn’t aware of that. A July Direct would be sweet though, especially after another E3 which was heavily focused on a single game.
Glen-i Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 While I would be absolutely ecstatic over more tracks and characters, I'm gonna remain on the more pessimistic side of things. Don't wanna get my hopes up.
bob Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 Hmmm that would be interesting. I actually bought this for my Switch, but have only fired it up once or twice. This might be the incentive needed to play it a bit more.
nekunando Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 I didn't think new tracks and characters were gonna be on the agenda for Deluxe but I'll be so happy if that's exactly what we get
MindFreak Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 I hope for a Super Mario Odyssey-level, perhaps also something from BotW. Splatoon 2 could be some material as well.
Hero-of-Time Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 Wow. That was quicker than expected. After the comments made by Mr. Takahasi I was thinking it it would be at least a couple of months before things started to appear.
Glen-i Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 So the Master Cycle started in Mario Kart, got a redesign and became canon in BOTW and now it's come back to Mario Kart!
Dufniall Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 Quickly updated my game this morning to check it out, and yes he is there! As an alternative costume to the other Link. Didn't check the stats of the Master Cycle Zero yet, I wonder if they differ from the Master Cycle.

Sméagol Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 The new Link is nice (I forgot he was wearing his traditional outfit, I never use him). But I'd love a new cup. One based on Mario Odyssey would be nice, so they can replace the cup based on Super Mario 3D World.
Ronnie Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 Peer from the NVC podcast suggested that since it's unlikely a big first party game is going to get released out of the blue, that Nintendo could release more MK8 DLC in September to coincide with their online service. Would be a great way to tempt people into suddenly paying up. Two or four new Cups, new characters etc. I could see that happening. 1

Guess the N-E League will be doing a Link night redux in the near future!
