  1. I knew we were getting a brand new track, id care if your gets it later on it’s so pretty, here’s to hoping Pauline is next for the next wave.

  2. Be very worried about DK in general. It seems Nintendo hates the Kongs, and only Universal / Illumination loves them.
    Billion dollar movie that features them heavily but yet Nintendo refuses to make a new Donkey Kong game or put any new Kong in Mario Kart… I mean they straight up hate DK.

      That’s a load of rubbish.
      Donkey Kong has been in almost all Mario spin off games alongside Diddy Kong. They even put Diddy in Mario Strikers Battle League.
      Nintendo doesn’t hate Donkey Kong, they just don’t seem to want to give him his own game.

          1. DK hasn’t had a new game since 2014. All these sports games he gets stuck into… it’s because they need characters to fill a roster and they’re all second party developers. Literally only second party developers and Illumination Studios will use Donkey Kong, look into it. Nintendo literally won’t use Donkey Kong anymore. And MK8 doesn’t count, the base game is from 2013.

            1. Mario Kart 8 was 2014
              Mario Kart Tour is considered mainline Mario Kart by Nintendo so by your logic Donkey Kong wouldn’t be in it
              The Mario Kart 8 DLC is being made by Bandai Namco, not Nintendo.
              Donkey Kong had an entire DLC for Mario and Rabbids, I wouldn’t really call that them ignoring him.
              Just because he has had a new game doesn’t mean Donkey Kong is dead. Nintendo may be a big name but they are still juggling multiple franchises at once, perhaps they simply don’t have the manpower right now?

  3. YES, KAMEK! One of my top three wants made it! I’m “okay, good pick” about Petey and just wonder “whhhhhyyyyyy” at Wiggler.

    Still holding out for Pauline and E. Gadd, though if only returning racers are included, I’ll settle for Diddy Kong instead.
