A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.
Some gaming sites are interpreting comments written by Nintendo in Thursday's annual financial report to mean that more Mario Kart 8 DLC is on the way. Here's the passage in question:

Nintendo posted:

(2) Outlook for fiscal year ending March 31, 2016
For "Nintendo 3DS" and "Wii U," in addition to maintaining the performance of already-released titles with strong sales
potential, new titles will continue to be introduced in order to further expand the installed bases. Specifically, by
sequentially introducing additional download content for blockbuster titles such as "Mario Kart 8" and "Super Smash Bros.
for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U," we aim to keep these titles played more actively.

I'm not sure that's what it means though. It could be referring to the DLC packs already released. The second pack was technically released in FY 2015, so money from that pack could be impacting FY 2015 revenue. And, it doesn't make sense that Nintendo would be using this occasion to announce more DLC, you know? That would probably come in a Nintendo Direct.

In any case, though, I WANT TO BELIEVE.

They need to keep releasing faster DLC. I want to play at least 300cc if not more.

I think you're on the right track VermiciousKnid84. That entire report consistently refers to the concept of "evergreen" games, and even states that as opposed to focusing on immediate sales Nintendo wants to focus on games selling more over a long lifetime. I think it's a good move for Nintendo.

The question is, what could they do for Mario Kart 8? More tracks, characters and custom parts like they've been doing of course. Maybe other modes like 200cc, but except for like Mirror 200cc I can't imagine what they would be. Of course a real Battle Mode would be awesome, and if all they need to make it work would be Battle-Mode focused maps hopefully Nintendo would go for it. Maybe other upgrades and improvements to the online multiplayer?

Just like the Super Smash Bros. character vote, if this is the direction Nintendo is going I hope they'll open feedback channels for all their games to assist with developing additional content.

I hope they really do add more racers & tracks to Mario Kart 8, because otherwise there's no more Mario Kart to look forward to until there's a new console out.

If they do have more content packs, I hope they keep going with pulling non-Mario properties into the mix. Samus driving a go-kart version of her ship, with her giant baby pet metroid popping out as a glider, zipping around a Zebes track? Maybe a Pikmin track where everything is giant? Perhaps an Earthbound/Mother themed track just to rub more salt into that wound for those fans.

The Metroid track should be Phendrana Drifts. You should be able to pull off sick drifts on it.

Splatoon track where you can only go anti-gravity on ink, and more of the level gets inked over the course of three laps so more routes open up.

I really love Mario Kart 8. It is probably my favorite Wii U title right now (and that has to compete with Smash Bros and Hyrule Warriors).

Is there anyway to "keep" more than 6 favorite replays in Mario Kart TV using some sort of save trickery? Like, could I make a "copy" of my Mario Kart 8 save data to an external hard drive, and if I ever want to watch those 6 "archived" replays again I could plug that hard drive back in?

I really don't like using the word epic because it is so overused, but I have 6 epic replays and I don't have the heart to delete one of them :( I want to save more replays to preserve my legacy!

A sufficiently chaotic system is maximally fair.

Why not just use a different word, like "amazing".

Why not just upload the replays to youtube? You can't edit them anymore but at least you have something.

Not a bad idea; I'll consider it. The lame part is you can only upload a maximum of 60 seconds using Youtube. I really want to save the entire race.

I just want to save more replays that 6 Nintendo. That's not asking too much; just let me save/export them to a hard drive or SD Card or something :cry:

Real time cross-game online where in Splatoon players need to avoid oncoming karts, and in MK8 players need to avoid players while using ink splats as speed boosters.
