Wii U User Reviews

This is not a racing game, it deserves to be not here like what the hell are people thinking like lmao

no way this was better than literally gt4, game deservs to be in a worse ranking than big rigs

Terrible Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

indeed hot steaming fuming garbage indeed indeed indeed very indeed i cabbage

it's just a normal DLC ..................................................................

as a DLC it is a waste of space on the top racing games list. get out and let the true legends like MW and GT be where they belong

This isn't a game therefore it shouldn't be here it's been taking up the spots for actually good game this will stop NOW!

Good dlc but that’s the problem, it’s a dlc not an actual game, it shouldn’t be here

This isn’t a game and shouldn’t be considered on the same playing field when listed among other racing games. Kind of silly.

**** offfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

No reason for a dlc to be ranked as a racing game, when it isn't. get out of top 100

Its only a dlc It dont deserve to be among full time racing games Get out of here

This doesn't belong in the "racing game" category, it's just a DLC ffs. This can't be better than a full game lol.

This is just a DLC for true Nintendo fans. Other than that, it's an expensive and pointless addition to MK8.

Link came into my house, broke all my pottery, **** my wife and then left. My life will never be the same, curse you nintendo!

This is a DLC and it should never be in the Top 10's AT ALL!! There are better deserving games that should be in the spotlight.

doesn't deserve to be above the actual game, the deluxe edition and in the top 4 spot

like every nintendo game: very nice, but terribly overpriced. really really sad.

I will not give any more money to nintendo, you can go to hell also why is this higher than NFS MW, GT4

DLC pack 1 is far superior to DLC pack 2, and that is all I have to say about it.

0/10 Одна Из Худший Игр Во Вселенной 0/10.............................................................................................................................

Overall great value for money, with mostly good tracks and vehicle customisation options. There's some non-Mario stuff included (such as Link, from The Legend of Zelda series, being playable) which I think is pretty cool. Tanooki Mario and Cat Peach are pretty 'meh' additions to the roster though (why not Bowser Jr. or Diddy Kong or something?).

I think 10/10 is an on-spot review for exactly what I would want in DLC. F-Zero and LoZ courses alone make the purchase worth it. Additionally, there are more characters and cars that creates a fun experience for all to enjoy.

Lazy cash in from last gen games. Completely mediocre and linear to the point of extreme boredom. A complete rip off of every B grade cart game ever made.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

I really love the 1st DLC pack! I love all of the characters, vehicles and tracks! Sure Tanooki Mario and Cat Peach are unnecessary but seriously. I don't care about them. In fact, I don't care about the character roster in any game. I'm one of the very few to do so! But anyway, BUY THE DLC IF YOU CAN!!! (AND WANT!)

Worth every cent. While the game already feels complete by the time you get 3 stars in every course in every category, the new courses are so much fun especially because you can play as LINK! So yeah, I'm very happy about this super affordable 16 new courses (including mirror modes), new cars, drivers, and cart customizing. Also when bought together with DLC Pack 2 you get a discount as well as bonus colored Yoshis and Shy Guys. Too cute!

You all should get this DLC. It shows that Nintendo is everything. They might do some horrible choices sometimes however they always seem to listen to the online community at times and show that they appreciate gamers. You can even get a small discount is you decide to get both packs at the same time. "Groovy is still in!" Brandonthegamer

This DLC pack is okay. The tracks were awesome. I especially loved Dragon Driftway. Also Wario's Gold Mine is awesome. The characters are what I hate about it. TWO THIRDS of them are CLONE CHARACTERS!!!!! The karts are good looking. I'd recommend this pack for the tracks. Not the characters.

This DLC is perfect. The characters were awesome, but the fact that they are clones, they could be costumes for that character instead (not Link, he is its own, not a clone) like in Smash Bros. The courses were awesome. Especially Hyrule Circuit,Excite Bike Arena,etc. The new customization for carts were awesome. I use the Blue Falcon ALL the time. Get this DLC now for only $11.99 or something both pack 1 and pack 2. If you don't like Mario Kart 8, you are silly as JB and a Non-Gamer.

A stunning HD game gets a ridiculously awesome DLC full of fun and value? So many other developers make weak DLC that was clearly held back for profits. Not Nintendo. They added **** more for just a few bucks. Wow.

Let's compare this DLC to the Call Of Duty: Ghost Devastation. Cod= 20 dollars, Mario Kart= 8 DOLLARS! Cod= 4 new maps, Mario Kart= 8 NEW COURSES! Cod= 1 WEAPON, Mario Kart= 4 KARTS AND EVEN 3 NEW CHARACTARS, INCLUDING LINK! This is how you make DLC, and i can't wait for the next pack.

THIS is how you do DLC right. You are getting 8 new tracks, 3 new characters & 4 new vehicles for 8 dollars. That is a lot of content for such a cheap price. All the new tracks a very well designed and really fun to race on (the Mute City track is one of the greatest tracks in all of Mario Kart history), playing as Link in Mario Kart is like living a dream and the vehicles are awesome to race with (Blue Falcon especially). Mario Kart 8 sets the standard as to what DLC can offer and HOW it should be done. If you have Mario Kart 8, download this pack, it's worth it.

No one would have guessed that Nintendo could do DLC best. This single Mario Kart 8 DLC pack proves that. The quality shown off here is fantastic. Every course is a blast to race on. There's not a single bad or dull one in the mix. Ice Ice Outpost might not be super great but its visuals help it stand out from the rest. It's nice to see SNES Rainbow Road make a comeback as well as Wario's Gold Mine, which is perhaps the most hectic course in Mario Kart Wii. Mute City, Excitebike Arena, and Hyrule Circuit prove to be the best of the bunch. The characters offered here are easily the worst part of the pack. Tanooki Mario and Cat Peach? Who the heck is making up these characters? Link from The Legend of Zelda appears as a playable character as well but I would have liked to see Bowser Jr. and Diddy Kong, since they were in Wii but didn't appear in Mario Kart 8 for some odd reason. There's also a few new karts added to the mix like the Blue Falcon from F-Zero and the Master Cycle which is based upon The Legend of Zelda. Both of these karts represent their series well. The Mercedes-Benz free DLC arrived near the release of this pack but all it includes are a few "real life" vehicles to race in. To be honest, they don't bother me at all. Overall, Mario Kart 8's first batch of DLC is a must-buy. I'd recommend getting the Pack 1 + 2 bundle. Pack 2 will be arriving in May 2015. Nintendo has definitely defined the term of "getting more than you paid for."

Great DLC, especially for the price. The tracks are great! My only complaint is the characters; would have rather seen Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf as the three new characters rather than yet another version Mario and Peach. There are already too many versions of Mario and Peach in the game before this too! Why do we need silver and gold versions of these characters? Or baby versions? They should have done it like Yoshi/Shy Guy colors and just give the users options to select from when using Mario or Peach, rather than make all of these versions of them be separate characters. Disappointed with the lack of effort on the characters, especially on a Zelda-themed DLC when there are plenty of characters from the Zelda series to include instead (such as Zelda herself!). So -1 point for each of the bad characters that were included = 8 OVR.

Link can drive a car so yeah great this honestly won't matter to the public =I'm fat hated Purrrple( See what I did there heh heh?) Cat made by Sea=ga :D

I am a Nintendo Fan Boy - so it hurts me to say this - but these DLC tracks weren't properly tested before they uploaded them - I use tilt controls - and MUTE CITY and DRAGON DRIFTWAY has curves that are too sharp to take with the Wii Mote - I slide off the course every time - I've play Mario Kart with the Wii Mote Motion Controls since 2008 - and I've played Mario Kart more than any other game - I'm very disappointed.

Una belleza de DLC por un precio excelente, una increíble expansión para una joya de juego, con un precio barato. ALTAMENTE RECOMENDABLE. Link y su expansión te esperan!

Nintendo: Doing everthing so much better than Sony and Microsoft, especially DLC It bewilders me that the Wii U is so underselling... Link in Mario Kart? No I can fangasm all over the floor. That mute city remix is divine. If you have Mario Kart 8, BUY THIS DLC RIGHT NOW! It is the best DLC since Dual Destinies's Turnabout Reclaimed.

THIS! This is how you do DLC! Add optional things to the game which will expand the content! 3 characters8 stages for just a couple of dollars is a fantastic deal! Highly recommend! Overall if you own Mario Kart 8 and are looking to expand your game I recommend you pick this DLC up!

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

This is how to DLC, nuff' said. You want more? Ok: The 8 new race tracks are unique and gorgeous, one of the tracks is broken, where you can constantly use shortcuts, which isn't very fun online. I only like the Link character in this DLC. The other's feel like "Just another 2 clones". The new cars, bike, wheels, and glider are cool. The fact that the brought back the MK Dasher from the DS version is just... :D

This DLC is just superb, it essentially adds another fourth of the game. For just eight dollars! Most of the new tracks are great, but the rainbow road making another return is a bit weird. The new karts are great, especially the returning B-Dasher and Blue falcon. Everything added from other franchises has received great attention to detail, The legend of Zelda and F-Zero tracks stand out as some of the better tracks but neither seem forced in just to grab fans attention. This is DLC i recommend every Mario Kart 8 owner buys. In an age where DLC can slowly strip away your money in exchange for measly content, its great to see Nintendo deliver with DLC of this quality.

Absolutely amazing DLC. This pack blows most other DLC completely out of the water. The characters are a welcome addition, though it would've been nice to see them bring back old favorites like Birdo or Diddy Kong before cloning Mario and Peach yet again. The vehicle selection gets a rather favorable expansion with the addition of the Blue Falcon and the Master Cycle, as well as the return of a fan favorite, the B-Dasher. However, the main draw is the tracks, and I'm going to have to talk about each one individually. Yoshi's Circuit - What a great way to start off the Yoshi Egg Cup? This is a favorite track off mine, partially due to the Yoshi theme, but also due to the twisting and turning this track has you do. You always feel like you're on your toes. Still bummed the secret tunnel isn't back. 9/10 Wario's Goldmine - Kicking off the Triforce Cup is a returning track from Mario Kart Wii. This one was one of my favorites. I blame Stockholm Syndrome as this one was a pain to get a good time on, but more importantly, I think they've fixed the one gripe I had with it, and that was how shard one of the mid-track turns always felt. Not sure I like them removing the mine carts as hazards, though. The shortcut now feels like it takes no real skill. 8/10 Rainbow Road (SNES) - Kill me now. I can already feel my ears and eyes bleeding. This is the fourth time this track has been featured in a Mario Kart game. We get it. You're proud of it and the nostalgia is brings, but can we just put it to rest for a few... decades? Please? Still a good rendition of the track. 4/10 Excitebike Arena - A great original track. This one adds in the interesting mechanic of randomizing every time you play it. Couldn't begin to explain why I like it so much, though. It's just straightaways with two turns each lap, yet I feel like something is always going on in this track. 8/10 Dragon Driftway - I actually really love this track. I might be a tad biased as drifting is one of my favorite techniques in Mario Kart, but I really do enjoy playing this track quite a bit. I can see how it could be considered boring, though. 8/10 Ice Ice Outpost - Aside from the derpy name, I think this is my favorite track in the whole pack. It may seem very simple and straight forward, but once you start looking for the quickest route, you'll likely find that this is actually a rather difficult course to get the most out of. The short cuts are hard enough to catch, but they're even harder to link together, and that's not counting all the track-switching you'll have to factor in. I also love the feel and the theme. 10/10 Hyrule Field - This is a bit of a let down, actually. The fan service is here in spades, but the track, itself, feels a bit dull. Maybe it's just me? This is easily one of my least favorite to race in this pack, but it's still great for all the TLC put into the details. 6/10 Mute City - Ending this on a high note. Mute City is fast, furious, dizzying, difficult, and overall very interesting. There's nothing about this track that isn't to love. They even lowered the gravity here to make the track feel more floaty and give you that F-Zero feel, as well as littering the track with boost panels to keep the speed going. Great fan service sprinkled here and there and attention to detail. Not my favorite, but it's always a joy to race on. 9/10 This is the way to do DLC. If Pack 2 is anything like Pack 1, I think we'll be seeing a trio of great review scores for this game, sitting pretty near the top of the Wii U games list.

I usually don't like and don't buy DLC, but when I saw the amount of content of this one I was sold out. And I'm happy to say that this pack worth each cents. If you like Mario Kart you should buy it, I think you already bought.

This is how you do DLC. 3 New characters, although 2 of them are pretty much already in the game, but the fact that LINK, from the Legend of Zelda Series is playable makes up for the two other shortcomings. There are 8 new tracks, being; Mario's GOld Mine: A fun retro stage, returning from Mario kart Wii. Yoshi Circuit: It's Yoshi. 10/10. Dragon Driftway: a course that has you race through a dragon. It IS cool, but it sounds cooler than it is. Ice Ice Outpost: Disappointment. I was so excited that there would be an ice stage, but its just a green and yellow road with some snow in the background. I love my snow stages, so I'm particularly picky on them. Mute City: Yes, you heard right. A fast paced stage based off F-Zero, and it's great! Exvcitebike: Very boring, but not repetitive, because its different every time! Rainbow Road: A 3rd Rainbow Road already made AND HYRULE

This DLC for Mario Kart 8 is the right road to do this type of content. Please learn Capcom, Play Link and the circuits like Temple of Hyrule or excite bike are awesome.

What to expect from a super-awaited DLC one of the best games of the year? Yes, if you thought of amazing you hit. Nintendo once again, as has been seen in New Super Luigi U, teaches how competitors launch a DLC with content and quality. There are 8 new tracks (almost half a Mario Kart), one more amazing than the other. The highlights are the fun Excitebike and obviously to the track based on The Legend of Zelda series. In addition to these wonders already mentioned, Nintendo still presents us with three new characters, which are: Tanooki Mario, Cat Peach and Link from Zelda franchise. Couple this to the new customization of models of cars and motorcycles, and you have one of the largest DLCs already launched in history, and a very affordable price of just $ 7. Certainly more a gift given by our beloved Nintendo.

While there is no denying the excellent value for money for the DLC packs here, it's interesting that the quality of the tracks almost match the rather 'cheap' price tag. The new characters and vehicles are great; no complaints here, but the tracks themselves are a different matter. Some tracks, lack a distinct feel to them, you feel like you are just driving down a colourful corridor rather than sliding your way across a vast racetrack full of jumps, twists and turns. I will divide the tracks into two categories, 'hit' and 'miss', then I will give a reason to why I think the track deserves the specified category and give an overall score on each particular track. Hit: Yoshi's Circuit (GCN) - Challenging but technically diverse track. 7/10. Mute City - Accurately depicts F-Zero universe minus the speed. 6/10 Mario's Gold Mine (Wii) - Another remade toughie, It's a MK classic. 8/10. Hyrule Circuit - Diverse track with many distinguishing features and great fan service. 9/10. Miss: Excitebite Arena - The track randomises each time you play it, you jump a lot, nothing much else. 3/10. Rainbow Road (SNES) - A little too much glare maybe? Also, deja vu, yet again? 5/10. Dragon Driftway - The scenery looks like it would be more interesting to drive around, too much twirling. 4/10. Ice Ice Outpost - Two paths, but they are always right next to each other, could have done much more here. 4/10. Overall, the first Mario Kart 8 DLC is a mixed bag, some tracks feel half-baked and vacuous, especially Ice Ice Outpost. Whereas Hyrule Circuit is a hit. They could have even done more here but as it is, it's the strongest new addition to the MK8 track family. I was personally disappointed by the first DLC pack, I only hope the second DLC pack has more TLC put into it.
