Nintendo Confirms Baby Park And Neo Bowser City For Mario Kart 8 (Video)

Oh yes! Baby Park from Mario Kart: Double Dash on the GameCube and Neo Bowser City from Mario Kart 7 will be included in the next batch of Mario Kart 8 DLC for Wii U. The news was confirmed today via Nintendo of Japan who released the two trailers you can watch on the blog. It’s got to be said that Baby Park looks lovely and will be a hoot to ride around on in the 200CC mode.

    1. Don’t remind me. That’s my biggest complaint about Mario Kart 8. I HATE the dumb baby characters. They make absolutely no freakin’ sense.

      1. They make no sense to you, but I when I sit and play this game with my 4 year old nephew he refuses to play as anything but the baby characters and wants me to play as a baby character next to him. Baby Mario is all he’ll play as. He doesn’t want want to play Mario Party because he can’t choose a baby character. Understand that this is a game for EVERYONE, from 4 year olds to the hard core adult. Stop being so selfish

          1. Did u read the end of my comment? What I mean is, so called ‘hardcore gamers’ feel like games should be tailored specifically for them, when Nintendo clearly makes games that can be enjoyed by gamers of all ages. I don’t understand how the majority does not understand this

        1. The problem with all the baby characters is that they should have gone to other characters more deserving of a spot- characters who have done things in/for the series, like Bowser Jr., E. Gadd, Diddy Kong, etc. We did NOT need 5/6/however many babies there are- Baby Mario and Baby Luigi would have been enough.

          People say Waluigi was the most useless character who didn’t need to be created. I disagree- that spot as of now goes to Baby Daisy/Baby Rosalina.

    2. Yay! They added 2 GBA Tracks! Ribbon Road and I think Cheese Land (it might be Yoshi Desert). They finally add more GBA Tracks. Mario Kart: Super Circuit is the best reviewed Mario Kart game on Metacritic! No joke, check out the reviews!

      1. Yep, that was definitely GBA Cheese Land, though it’s hard to recognize, there have been SO many changes.

      2. What I don’t get is that, if they can do this for Ribbon Road and Cheese Land, why ate the other SNES/GBA courses entirely flat?

    1. Surprise! Johnny Cakes! People enjoy great games unlike the others who are stuck playing generic regurgitated shooters. If you need a reason to play MK8, you’re better off not playing it. I need a reason NOT to play it. Lol

      I got bored of it. Same with Smash.
      You know online is messed up in MK when a blue shell hits you like if you aren’t 1st place and then flies over you to hit you.
      And then when you throw a red shell and get hit by it after it hits the person you aimed for.

  1. Kaptain Krusha K. Roolenstein

    I don’t remember Ribbon Road. It shows toys and Koopa clown ship and said GBA.
    That drybowser motorcycle looks sick.

        1. Kaptain Krusha K. Roolenstein

          Nope. Actually i’m good at mario kart even rainbow road, I just hate them.
          Especially when you’re a small character and every big character bumps you off the course. Lol

  2. How long will Nintendo keep milking the same game? I suppose that’s all they know how to do, since Mario Kart 8 was one of their few big hits on Wii U. And I doubt there’s going to be any more BIG hits until the new Zelda. Unless a new Animal Crossing for Wii U comes out. And no, Star Fox doesn’t count.

    1. Doom and gloom. Boo-hoo. Nintendo supports Mario games. Crazy. The nerve of those fuckers to create the best looking and best valued DLC for one of their top selling games. The humanity!

      1. I haven’t played Mario Kart 8 in almost a year. It was the first time I got tired of a Mario Kart game before winning the gold trophy on every cup. Good game, but I got sick of it (and playing online was no fun whatsoever). So, I just can’t understand how people can still find so much fun in the game. Even with DLC, it’s not really enough for me to want to return and play again.

        1. I forgot to mention, I accidentally deleted my save file for Mario Kart 8. So that’s another reason I never returned to it. I didn’t want to play all the same cups and courses all over again.

        2. If you Mario Kart at all, then it’s inconcievable that you got bored with Mario Kart 8, considering it brings some of the best the series has ever seen.

  3. I would keep buying these DLC packs. Mario Kart 8 is just that much fun to me. Also, a DLC pack with more modes (including battle), as seems to be suggested frequently, would be cool, too.

  4. If they continue to do another DLC pack, I’m hoping for Kirby!

    Come on Nintendo, you’ve referenced many other series. Why not Kirby who actually has a racing game as well?

        1. Not at all. The items are much better balanced and much less luck based than any other game in the series I think, or at least recent games.

    1. HELL YES to getting coins out (of item rotation).

      I had one online race where I got ONE banana, and every other time I just got coins. It was like the game forced me to place 12th.

      Ever see F-Zero GX’s story mode chapter 3 where Silver Neelsen screams “WHAT CAN I DO WITH THIS ONE COIN!!?!?” That’s what I felt over the course of that race.

        1. I would love to see DD’s team mechanic come back. I would win tournaments in DD at my local Game Crazy when that was still a thing; still got one of the winner’s hoodies though it’s too small for me now. DD was AMAZING, but imo, it’s not the best. MKWii is still my favorite MK.

    2. Kaptain Krusha K. Roolenstein

      Now this is what I can agree on. Their whole supposed “Fair” one item yet getting a star while 2nd place, coins on 1st, and normal standard mushrooms while last place is mediocre.
      Agree with your other two bottom comments on MK8 is casual and Double Dash being the best Mario Kart.

      When will that come to the Eshop –__–

      1. Nintendo Tetrarch Quadramus-NX

        >>>See, when people talk to me like this, I have no reason to bash them at all unless they start promoting non Nintendo garbage or other insults to fans and innocent a like, the rest is just for the “game” itself>>>

        >>>Indeed and they should take all DLC available online as well, I have no use of buying them if I can only play against CPU, what’s the fun in that? specially since they are so bad and the reason Baby Park is so infamous is becuase of the mayhem done by everyone using 2 items and specially Bo-Bombs and Giant Bowser Shells spinning around all over the place>>>

  5. So this information was leaked… debunked and THEN proven true in the end.

    LOL! The irony is strong with this announcement.

    1. It always has been- that’s what makes it so chaotic, especially in Double-Dash where it first appeared.

      1. Kaptain Krusha K. Roolenstein

        Picture 200cc. If the 9 laps are back, I don’t even think you will catch up to the last player anymore.

  6. I smelt a new trailer on the way for the last couple of days and low and behold, here’s a new trailer. Kickass, I’m really excited for this, just 8 days to go.

  7. Am I the only who finds it a bit suspicious that we have 2 F-Zero courses? Could this possibly mean that WE ARE GETTING A NEW FZERO! :O. I’m calling it F-Zero U will be announced this E3. (and if I’m wrong then forget I ever said this)
