LEGEND OF SUPER MARIO 3D KART CONFIRMED! Man even tho theres no new battle stages im super hype about this, i hope its $10 or less
It’s 7 dollars for 1 dlc pack so it’s 14 dollars
Super Smash Kart CONFIRMED!! :D
http://vgboxart.com/boxes/WiiU/62294-super-smash-bros-kart.jpg
Is this real life :0… Pokken fighters and this!
Just imagine anti-gravity Epona…. o.o
it could be like how the yoshi bike is. :o
You people are fucking idiots with your “whatever the fuck you said” confirmed!!
It’s just dlc, it doesn’t mean there will be a crossover game
Yes it’s exciting that there will be MK8 dlc, but stop with your bullshit speculations and assumptions, cause weather you’re joking or just plain stupid, it makes you look just as rediculous as that fucking jackoff that kept posting “Half life 3 confirmed” everywhere in vain, which is just pathetic
“Half Mario Life 3”
Confirmed!!
;D
It’s spelled “ridiculous,” you idiot.
fuck off it is a fake
Ha… what are you doing on this old ass article? XD
no its 10 dollars 7 euros would be $9.23 but theirs no way they do a price like that they would round it to 9.99 or just 10
It’s £7.00 not 7 Euros.
GBP != Euros.
£7 ~~ $11.58
wait where does it say that?? if it is i’m guaranteed getting any dlc pack they make!
on the Nintendo uk site
it’s actually 7 pounds so it’ll probably be 10 – 12 dollars, which is still a nice price.
Well, that’s nothing! Buying day 1!! And I already have too much to play with Hyrule Warriors and Smash x2. I haven’t even played enough of the normal Mario Kart 8 tracks… D:
7 British Pound Sterling equals
11.60 US Dollar
As told by Google
$7 for each pack, but you can buy both in the 1+2 pack for $12
MK8 saves Wii U in May, November and May!!! HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAAH BAHAHHAHAHA WWDIO()_}WDosirop[aw’;feopfgrweag[w
Wii U lol. Great console and Nintendo is proving it to the gamers
Mario Kart is slowly turning into Call of Duty. Well, without the yearly releases.
N.M.E.
N.M.E? Sounds a lot like enemy. .. I like that!
N.M.E is a Kirby refrence its the final boss from Kirby Adventure.
Holy shit this was the most badass boss ever when i was a kid lmao.
http://youtu.be/xgEfy2yNjnY
My balls dropped for like a split second when that happened and i thought it was so hard!! lmao i played it like 5 years ago and can’t believe how easy it is. Well it was a breeze compared to stuff like ninja gaiden but this was a threat for some reason.
Hi hater
I agree to some extent. a new mario kart per system is good moderation. A new mario kart for the same system over and over is bad. so what im saying is COD would be better and more enjoyable if it were released once or twice per console.
LINK? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? GET HIM OUT OF THERE
Super Smash Kart confirmed. Can’t wait to play Zero Suit Samus driving a baby metroid.
No
fuck you.
Link is the character I’m looking forward to playing with the most! You totally don’t have to buy the DLC, dude.
That’s such an awesome kart-idea! Would love to see that!
I’m all set for a Smash Bros Kart! It was only a matter of time folks!
FUCK YOU I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!!
and while they’re at it throw out donkey kong aswell?
OH MY GOD THESE FUCKING LEAKS
I know, I would much more like to get it through a build-up, followed by a trailer, through a Nintendo Direct! It would be such a nice surprise!!
Best ever!!!!!
How can it be a leak if Nintendo revealed it? Surely it would have been an announcement?
But it was leaked. Probably through some website, or something. Guessing it’s supposed to be revealed through a Nintendo Direct later this month/early next month! (Would much rather have gotten the news through a Direct!)
it’s on the official UK website.. not exactly a leak
yeah, but the korean pokemon website accidentally did the same thing with Mega Slowbro and Mega Audino, which means they will reveal this soon probably.
But the headline says
“Leaked by Nintendo”
Surely, if it’s their property and they announce it exists, it’s not leaking, it’s announcing, now if it was another website that said it first, that was the leak, not Nintendo.
It was Nintendo’s website, but I believe it was published by accident. It has happened way too many times before!
But it doesn’t matter now, Nintendo officially announced it on Twitter hours later!
This is really cool.
Though, where are Bowser Jr., Diddy Kong and Birdo?
Bowser Jr and Diddy Kong are in Smash Bros and Birdo is…. well, no one knows where Birdo is.
link in mario kart lel
Sweet! I’ve really been hoping for Link and a few others. I know they don’t want it to be Smash Bros Karting or anything, but one or two characters from a couple of other franchises is cool. I can’t believe they are going to support this game with DLC for that long… May 2015!?!? Nintendo rocks. I’m thinking Link could really be a big draw for those who don’t already own the game…
Fantastic news. Hope the price is reasonable though.
Its around $60 or something…in Walmart o.o
He’s talking about the DLC dude -_-
nice son
So…. Nintendo Kart?
Yes, it’s practically official at this point!
Holy crap! Amazing.
YES MORE MARIO AND PEACH CLONES! JUST WHAT WE ALL WANTED!
The hype train has crashed.
The more clones the better as long as it inflates the character count sir! Also, I don’t know what a “clone” would be in this game since the drivers don’t really affect the race..
True, the only thing that differs from characters is weight class and kart/bike stunts.
I think he means that we already have 3 Mario forms and 3 Princess Toadstool forms. I would be mad too if they were the only additions but there’s a lot more and more tracks so I’m stoked!
…i liked PGP….
There’s always the fact that you don’t have to get it, it’s DLC, not like they have it taking someone’s spot, they could add in whoever they please in fact
I’ll get it of course, you must be out of your mind if you think I don’t want to play as Link in Mario Kart.
But Tanooki and Cat Peach are the definition of clones though, as they’re the exact same people just in different outfits.
Hi hater
…What? Hater? For pointing out a flaw? I don’t think you know what that word means, and I’m a massive Nintendo fan btw.
Oh man I hope this is true. :D This will make the game even more freaking awesome. :3
Awesome, been wanting this for a long time! Never really wanted a Smash Kart, but a Mario Kart with other Nintendo characters making cameos! Now, if we could have gotten this the intended way, through a (teaser) trailer, that would have been a much better surprise!
My poor heart.
I need to sit down
Yeah, me too
:(
LOL
YES
SMASH KART
HYPE LEVELS HAVE REACHED OVER 9000
Oh my gosh just saw the 16 new courses…
They better put Samus or Captain Falcon in there too, They have the F-Zero track so why not?
New courses are being added? Wow, this is huge.
Link caught me by surprise, this week is leak week
Awesome, cannot wait to get my hands on those new courses. 3 stared all courses on all cc’s.
WTF.
Awesome news!
Isabelle PLAYABLE? yesssss
O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O I NEED MONEY NOW.
it’s not that. its extra content that for me is worth it’s `price.
If this is real, please include actual Battle Mode arenas. The current ones suck
it is its on Nintendo’s uk site
OH JOY!!!
“Oh snap!” -joy turner
Also why is Link included? It’s kinda cool given that he’s a Nintendo character but he seems out of place for Mario Kart.
Who cares? It’s freaking Link! Lol. XD
Couldn’t have said it better
This is amazing, but they need to include Kirby on the warp star! Just like the Smash trailer for Rosalina and Luma!!!
I agree
Smash Bros Kart confirmed! Did Mario Kart 8 get exposed and need outside help? More info coming as this story develops. I will say…Watchdogs didn’t need any third party help…..
Take that comment lightly folks. Just poking fun at the fact that the Nintendo fans were finally right. People said that it was only a matter of time until Link and friends made it into Kart. Now it finally happened! #LolNintendoForever
do you know what that means?:
http://memecrunch.com/meme/3QFDH/sasori-obinna-onuorah-got-butthurt
so mario kart 8 has 3 mario’s and 3 peaches… ok
Now it will be four
ONION WEEK! (Leek week?)
I just saw this. I’m SO EXCITED!! WOW! This is amazing, just what I was talking about on a previous article about keeping MK8 fresh. I’M SO HYPED!! It looks legit, the website seems to be official nintendo, there’s even a slide show. WOW!!
This is amazing news we need an all out Nintendo direct!
EPIC!
good news.. i’ll definitely buy those for the new courses alone
now if only they’d release a decent battle mode aswell … for free of course, they owe that much
SUPER KART BROS!
so $10 per pack that’s not to bad better then cod prices xD
is that track in the lower left from exite bike
plus the free merc dlc :)
Wow…..i need a strong drink and a sit down.16 tracks,thats another mario kart right there alone
Well, looks like someone else is going to get fired from Nintendo of America.
the yoshi assassin’s will get rid of him instead.
hey, lord aizen:

with the laugh of the emo avenger, it looks like you enjoy your butthurt. the harder, the better >:)
are you emotionally in love with my butt. aizen is sexy indeed for woman and gay guys.
lord aizen/sasori obinna onuorah is GAY, CONFIRMED!!!
sasori burned!
lord aizen is flirting with the anonymous guy. lol
LORD GAYZEN!!!
lord GAYzen!. LOL XD
hello lord GAYzen
NARUTARD CONFIRMED!
it was from Nintendo of UK
Rant: The one thing I HATE about this is the character selection. Like WTF Nintendo with the Mario and Peach clones? Couldn’t you of picked something much better than that, like I don’t know, perhaps stuff someone will actually play with, like Birdo, Diddy Kong, Dry Bones, etc. instead you pick shitty Mario series characters to add to the terrible roster we already have for that game. And the Villager and Isabelle seem redundant. They’re seriously BETTER BE MORE CHARACTERS than just those six!
One of the new characters is Dry Bowser.
shut up hater
Well dang.
No Zelda or Ganondorf included? :(
Although, I must admit Link in a Mario Kart game was unexpected. XD
Well considering that this is the Skyward Sword Link I don’t see ganondorf happening, Zelda However
Haha, good point.
Zelda at least would have made sense to add in as well if they were gonna put Link in.
cant wait!
well f**k me!!
This is not a leak… I have no idea why this site says it is. This new dlc was announced by Nintendo, not some guy on some website. Please do better with headlines in the future.
DERPSHIT 4 GEN OLD DUALSHOCK 4
CHAV CONSOLE
damn but 6 months apart from each dlc :/
if the dlc is cheap or free then i’ll get it.
is lord aizen flip fapping again?
$10
you’re the world’s biggest flip flopper..bigger than HollowGrapeJ
Still hiding behind that Anonymous name tho…
there’s no reason to be sad at least you aren’t a flip fapper like sasori
Who are you, Anon? How do you know me so well? :p
Man that lana chick YELLS genital warts everywhere. She probably shouldn’t of fucked the deku tree.
I’ll buy it for you
i’m collecting info for the article about you on encyclopedia dramatica and you made it so easy. the level of flip flopping is strong with you.
your talk page on the website will be spamed :)
Damn it! I can’t believe I’m going to miss out on this. My only hope is that they’re part of Amino,if so then I’m going to be glad.
Amiibo.
Kind of wish it was toon Link he would have fit better, but that’s ok.
Someone call a plumber, because it’s leak week!
Pingback: Mario Kart 8: compite con Link gracias a nuevos contenidos descargables - GAMERFOCUS
A Blue Falcon Kart and an F-Zero course? Nintendo stop trolling and release a new F-Zero game already! It’s obvious you haven’t forgotten about the series.
Show us your moves Nintendo
“GASP” I almost had a heart attack when I saw Link driving a kart! This is amazing!
Wow…
I’m pretty sure we’ll see Nintendo first ever GOTY edition (with all the dlc packed in) at some point. If you don’t own the game yet, it makes no sense at all to buy the game before then.
I can’t agree with that lol you’d be waiting a year probably at least
meh the dlc will be expensive just like nsmb 2 dlc.
do not be a loser, you know you want it
expensive for you? YES!!!
Gotta put Link in every game now so people will buy his Amiibo.
One of the courses looks like an Excite Bike course. Also, LEEEEAAAAAKSSSSS D:
suddenly mk8 is worth purchasing.
butthurt 4
SONY CHAVS IN MELTDOWN
CHAVCLUB VS GOD KART
OMG, I JUST SAW SOME OF THE OTHER SCREENSHOTS. THIS LOOKS AMAZING!
This game going to the playstation in the future
Omg this is amazing , maybe this hints at a f-zero game!!xD
This is awesome! 8 new courses in November and another 8 in May will definitely increase the lifespan of this game! Really looking forward to the F-Zero and Zelda courses!
This is becoming Nintendo Kart….
Tanooki Mario and Cta Peach (and the metal ones) shouldn’t be different characters; they should be different costumes for Mario and Peach. Same for Dry Bowser.

That is amazing! Best news I’ve heard since E3!
I love this… I dont care hat anyone says, this is possibly the best thing i’ve ever read in regards to the mario cart franchise.. this is some kick ass DLC
This dlc is so weak
It must not be to weak if your here commenting about it. It must be so strong that it drew you from depths from which you came.
You make a good Ghirahim. And he’s awesome so props to you.
Well thank you sire.
Can’t wait to use you in Hyrule Warriors. You don’t mind being used, do you? lol
Not at all. Just don’t make me look like an utterly fool. Use me in a fabulously and viciously way. Lol
Most definitely fellow Lord ;)

This is what I like to see, exceeding my expectations. Free DLC tomorrow, new DLC incoming with 16 new courses, bunch of new characters and karts, lovely. I can’t wait to play some new courses online also.
This is a great start and the game hasn’t even been out a year, I hope this support continues in the same fashion.
This just about made my day as pathetic as that sounds. I’m addicted to MK8.
Nice!!! That’s all I got to say
I don’t know how to feel about link, but at least I have a reason to play Mario Kart 8 again…
WOW!!! just saw this now, and all I can say is, WOW!!!! Buying all of this dlc
AWWWW YEAHHHH!
HOLY FUCKING SHIT I’M HYPERVENTILATING
I just literally fainted when I seen link in that kart. Thought like a week ago why don’t Nintendo have guest star from there games. This is awesome. I’m not trading in Mario kart 8 anymore
Why would you ever trade in the game in the first place! It is like THE best game released for Wii U!
I’m one of those people that keeps every game he buys, because I love to have my collection of games on my book shelves like a library.
I think people who trade in games are crazy.
I was going to trade it in for hyrule warriors. My moto is if your done with game trade it in for something new. If you want it back. Just go buy it again. No harm done.
Whatever floats your boat, I guess.
But now with this dlc I will never think of ever trading this game again
I traded in a bunch of games and a rumble pack back in the day to get DK 64. Never again have I traded. Loved Donkey Kong, but terrible deal and I also like having my collection.
AWESOME!!! It comes with tons of content too! I bet in all, the DLC will cost $20 which is the same amount as NSLU so that seems to be reasonably priced.
Mario Kart 8 just got that much more fun!!! ^-^
wat?

Pingback: Here’s The Full Scoop On The Newly-Revealed DLC For Mario Kart 8 | My Nintendo News
Why is the second pack 2015? Wtf?
Man, Nintendo is lousy with leaks lately. Thier plumbers have not been doing a good job lol jk
This… is this shit legit! Has Nintendo themselves actually revealed this!? *hyperventilates & squeals* LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINK!!! Sorry, Lemmy, but… *spartan kicks off a cliff* THIS! IS!! HYRULE!!!
*takes another look after getting over initial excitement/hype* I have to wait for November for Link!?
Just wait, soon they’ll start compalining about how they want 5 other DLC 1 second after they bought these…
And I’ll tell them to shut the fuck up & be happy they are getting these. >.< Nintendo didn't have to give us shit as far as DLC is concerned.
Will you buy Bayonetta 2?…
Didn’t you already ask me that question once before? *shrug* It might have been someone else that asked me. Maybe Hollow. Anyway, hell yes I’m getting it. It’ll be fun to play a game where angels from Heaven are actually the villains. xD
Because I think it’s pointless to have all these people on my friends list when no one wants to play any online games…
*AHEM* HollowGrapeJ has Mario Kart 8 you know… Lol.
And you never ask to play, which is what my comment implies…
That’s because I thought about asking you on Miiverse, but you never use it. Lol you have one post. XD I can usually play on weekends though so feel free to play with me. :P Although, that might change eventually because I might get assigned weekends by my job too, soooo you should spend as much time with HollowGrapeJ as possible before that happens. XD And I’m getting Bayonetta 2. But probably not launch because of HYRULE WARRIORS! *hums Zelda theme*
I can always read your message whenever I’m on?…
Good thing I’ll be able to get both on launch day. I just have to leave enough in my bank to pay for them when they ship my pre-order.
It’s not because I can’t get it. It’s because I want to limit as much as possible until I get a PC.
One more thing, just because I don’t post comments in Miiverse doesn’t mean I don’t check in t read messages and so on….
I don’t do much of anything on Miiverse anymore except yeah posts that I like. The admins on Miiverse are so god damn conservative!
Yo Ridley! You’re good peeps! I’m ChozoEmissary on Miiverse, I’d love to race with you Hollow and Quadraxis. And when Hyrule Warriors and Bayonetta come out, it’d be awesome to do some online play.
Yo Hollow! You’re good peeps! I’m ChozoEmissary on Miiverse, I’d love to race with you Ridley and Quadraxis. And when Hyrule Warriors and Bayonetta come out, it’d be awesome to do some online play.
I know I’ve posted this 3 times now… just covering my bases.
Yo Quadraxis! You’re good peeps! I’m ChozoEmissary on Miiverse, I’d love to race with you Hollow and Ridley. And when Hyrule Warriors and Bayonetta come out, it’d be awesome to do some online play.
Add me N-Commander and we’ll agree on a time and day…
Sweetles!
It will be an honor to race along your side Commander!
You’ll have to send me a request. I was going to send you one but my Gamepad’s battery is dead, & I need to get a new adapter which I can’t order til Friday.
Oh & it’s Ridley X3.
Awesome!
I’ll shoot you a request in a few hours!
Were you able to send a request? I probably won’t see my new Gamepad adapter til Friday or next week.
I did! Yeah, no rush we’ve got plenty of time to race! Plus Hyrule Warriors and Bayonetta are still a ways away.
A shame Bayonetta 2 is the only one with online co-op. I guess some people are still hoping for an online co-op mode for Hyrule Warriors as an update later on. Well when the game releases & I fill out the survey, I’ll be sure to mention the want for an online co-op. Maybe if enough of us ask for it in the damn survey, Nintendo & Koei Tecmo will listen.
I’ll throw that in the survey too, but the Adventure Mode is online co-op in some way. It’ll be interesting to mess around with that.
sorry but no no no I know I am not force to download and buy them them but I am against this kind of business, on a principal that DLC is bad the game industry. I do believe the additional courses should be free. furthermore £15 on the top of £40 is a bit taking the mick if you ask. Oh well Nintendo doing a MS and Sony but who can blame them since people asking for it. Sad news for me
If done right, DLC is one of the best things that can happen to a game. Nintendo just so happens to be one of the people that isn’t charging an arm & a leg for DLC. If this was EA or Activision, this DLC would cost a lot more than what Nintendo is selling it for. So chill out. But whatever. If you think Nintendo is no better, that’s your own opinion.
I am again that principal does not matter how right is done, I really don’t care if EA or activation or Square Enix will charge more than that.
Look at what happening now in the video game industry, you have game you purchased 60$ or £40 or 60 € but you end up with half of it on the media and the other half of it will be DLC. And that becoming an trend going up not down.
Not long back an hacker find additional cup so those DLC were planned and this is where I have an ethic issue with that.
I hate with passion this business model and I will not encourage it even if it means I won’t enjoy the extra thing any DLC bring with it.
Saying that I think I belong to a minority since lot of people (including you) are ready to pay for those DLC.
I think I would have seen it as a OK news if the extra courses will be free and the rest as extra characters and kart/bike will be charge for small fees.
Just to conclude yes I do believe Nintendo is becoming like Sony and Microsoft and sooner than later you will see some abuse. Saying that Nintendo is just following a trend which is reinforced by every players who brought those contents. So why Nintendo should not follow that path, I guess I can give them kudos for not doing it sooner.
Why did they point out the Blue Falcon? It ws already in MK Wii. It isn’t anything new.
