Any chance we’ll see dlc next direct?
>>
>>719965038
100%
>>
I hope they add more in depth missions as dlc
>>
K rool, please
>>
Not a chance. Nintendo is dropping all support for this game as a scorched earth fuck you to the fans for not liking it. No DLC, no patches, no updates, oh and support for MK8D is over too
>>
>>719965923
You wish
>>
Are they going to import/remake classic tracks for MKW?
>>
At best they will add some character costumes. I wouldn't expect any new levels until spring of next year
>>
>>719966000
Probably
>>
>>719966000
They spent all this time making these new tracks, why would they do that? Just go play MK8D if you want that
>>
>>719966112
Mario kart 8 deluxe doesn’t have every old track in existence
>>
>>719966097
How long did it take for wii u mk8 to get dlc?
>>
>>719966167
Close enough
>>
>k rool amiibo reprint this month

>bowser all alone in the new heaviest category
>this thing existing

hopefully
>>
>>719965038
The fact that they didn't release DK DLC for the game when Bananaza was released really confuses me. Are they going to pull a New Horizons for it by giving it a couple minor updated then acting like it never existed?
>>
>>719966434
I assume they’re just waiting to announce some dk dlc next direct
>>
>>719965038
Are you out of content already? Isn't this game $90?
>>
>>719966237
IIRC MK8 wii u came out in march or april of 2014 and got dlc around november and then spring
>>
>>719966607
Holiday dlc would make sense
>>
>>719966683
yeah but its probably harder to add new courses to world as they have to connect to existing ones
>>
>>719966521
They are begging for dlc before Sonic's racing game murders them
>>
>>719966793
I don’t think it’s that hard, you can probanly just extend the land out more
>>
>>719966000
how would they implement them?
>fuck you, just select them from a menu, no world map location
or
>create an entire new area on the map to acomodate new tracks (islands /underground)
>>
>>719966857
Quit deluding yourself
>>
>>719966905
Yeah but I'm just saying its no longer a matter of just making the new courses but the intermissions which link them to the mainland and each other too
>>
>>719966943
>fuck you, just select them from a menu, no world map location
This would be the Nintendo/Japanese game dev way, yes.
>>
>>719967000
True but I wouldn’t be surprised if they take less time to make than regular courses
>>
>>719966943
Hope the latter.

Here's how to fix MKW:
>GP removes intermissions and it's just pure track racing OR dlc continent has short as fuck intermissions that last for one lap and the rest of the 3 laps are on the normal track
>Knockout Tour gets 500 more rallies with randomized intermissions, maybe add some counter-measures against bagging like a giant monster insta-killing players or a giant lava wave
>>
They need to add more knockout tours
>>
>>719966282
Between this, the lack of diddy kong and funky kong, and the low amount of costumes dk and pauline have, it’s pretty clear they’re planning on making some dk dlc
>>
What’s your favorite course
>>
>>719967602
DK Spaceport
>>
>>719967157
I’m surprised there’s no option to choose the amount of laps you do after an intermission
>>
>>719966282
I'm hoping for barefoot Pauline skin.

Can people explain this please?

>>719970416
It took less than a year for wii u mk8 to get dlc
>>
>>719970416
Some people may expect MK8D and Smash Ult to be the standard now rather than the exception
>>
>>719970575
It likely will be with mario kart
>>
>>719971213
I don't see that happening at all. I'm surprised we even got the patch we did
>>
>>719971263
Why
>>
>>719971348
Because they clearly consider it a premium "perfect" game as is to charge $80 for it. And that update was only in response to overwhelming negative fan response (and it barely changed anything anyways)
>>
>>719965249
Imagine paying to have what should have been there from thr start. Tendies really do deserve the rope.
>>
>>719971592
Then how did 8 get dlc
>>
>>719971797
They just felt like it
>>
>>719972184
And they won’t feel like it again?
>>
>>719972259
Really don't see it happening for this game at least
>>
>>719965038
That fertile and empty map was made for DLC. Honestly, going from an empty wasteland to a giant map of tracks would be kino. I feel bad for anyone that paid 80 ameribux for the early access beta.
>>
>>719972324
Also I thought Mario Kart Worlds was a console seller. Now that they got their sales, what is incentivizing them to add new content? And it'll be paid DLC most likely, which will just piss off the people that already bought the game. They'll have to strategize if they want to add DLC to the game.
Granted, I'm trying to think like a reasonable person and not a corporation like Nintendo who wants to nickel and dime their own fanbase forever and ever. I don't really know what I'm talking about.
>>
>>719972482
Would be cool
>>
>>719972586
Yeah, being to to pay more after giving them 80 bucks would feel like a slap in the face. Maybe they could offer one or two DLC kart packs for free and then start charging? Fuck it, they could also just go live service mode and make this the fortnite of kart racers.
>>
It'll be funny when this game never gets a content update after years of "I bet it'll be any day now"

>>719965038
They'll most likely have Void Kong and Young Pauline as the two new characters, as well as new costumes for Donkey Kong, partially as promotion for Bananza. I do not expect any new tracks for the next 6 months.

I also do not expect K. Rool to be in the roster any time soon
>>
>>719971673
>what should have been
Exactly, what should have been, as in, it's in the past and it can't be undone. May as well get the DLC if it makes the game better as opposed to wasting money on the vanilla version and cucking yourself out of the definitive version right after as a meaningless "vote with your wallet" gesture.

It might come around the beginning of next year if Nintendos last direct will involve only Metroid Prime 4. I'm hoping that with the final direct of this year it'll include information about all the first party line ups since Kirby Air Riders still have some secrets hidden behind the last thing shown.

No, but we will get DLC in the future. The soonest we'll get DLC would be next March, just in time for the quarterly report. I would love to see the Bananza/more DK characters included, especially when Pauline and DK are lacking in costumes.

Why does wario’s biker outfit look like a bootleg version of his warioware outfit instead of the real deal?
>>
>>719965038
It needs DLC soon otherwise it’ll be forgotten forever. They don’t have the benefit of waiting 5 years to give it DLC and having it sell on it’s own, if it doesn’t any roadmap in the next direct World will be done for.
>>
>>719982000
There are too many coincidences around dk not be getting dlc

No way the direct won’t involve mario’s 40th anniversary

Sorry but K. Rool’s VA is in MKW’s credits and I don’t see Young Pauline’s VA in there anywhere.

Bananza or World? If the latter, I completely understand. We HAVE to get something from the DK crew.
>>
>>719982387
It’s great though

Most likely just a free Donkey Kong update. Diddy and Funky are missing and DK only has one costume.
>>
>>719982489
Wasn’t 7’s dk jungle track leaked to be coming to world?

I hope Dixie, Cranky, and K Rool come along with them

I’d much rather a balance patch so I see more than Toadette + baby blooper online
>>
>>719969817
Daisy’s ass should be its own course
>>
>>719982343
Most would assume that Young Pauline wouldn't make it in and her Bananza costumes would become Grown-up Pauline's. Though, YP could be Pauline's equivalent to the babies.
>>719982695
Would they get any costumes or would Dixie and Cranky be Diddy's "costumes"?
>>
>>719982982
Them being diddy’s costumes would be weird
>>
I honestly dont care about DLC, theres millions of 5 track sequences we could be doing in knockout tour and they give us 8. Sometimes between matches I drive around and see interesting areas/roads that no track uses.
>>
M…maybe Toadsworth will be added to..too…right guys?!
>>
>>719983190
Why did they even stop using him
>>
>>719983205
Mario mandate, which has since been seemingly reversed except for Toadsworth. Probably didn’t like the fact that Peach had a “handler” because then she can’t girlboss
>>
>>719983123
The problem in this game having a lot of stuff to do but being gatekept out of it for dumb reasons seems to be a reoccurring problem in this game.
>>
>>719983378
Strange how toadsworth still isn’t allowed yet cranky has been not only always allowed by Nintendo but encouraged

mario kart 8 is over 11 years old
>>
>>719983546
My guess is he forgot deluxe wasn’t the original
>>
>>719983437
They wanted all species in Mario to be uniform. In the Super Star Saga remake they erased all the Toads that looked different.
>>
>>719972586
Yeah and come to think of it, overall reception has been pretty mild. People are waiting for dlc as a kind of fix not a "just more". Most people dont like the open world and most dont like intermissions. Making a bunch of new tracks would also (prolly) mean more intermissions, so way more work then a standard track pack.
If I were them, I would drop the project as a whole and let your other games pick up the slack.
People are still buying 8, why make World more like 8? Just play 8
>>
At this point Nintendo may as well just scrap the "mario" part of it and head towards a full "nintendo kart" or such and expand the roster dramatically.

Basically DS but in an open world.
>>719983046
I don't mean Diddy wearing their clothes, rather Diddy won't get his own costumes and you can switch to Dixie and Cranky. Think Bowser Jr and the Koopalings in Smash.
>>719983802
Dear God No
>>
>>719983802
fuck no
>>
>>719984056
theres tons of space, they could just have a track be a new link between 2 other tracks.

>>719984120
What would be the difference between food delivery and taxi
>>
>>719983981
yes
>>
Bring back that one cops and robbers mode
>>
They really need a way to make unlocking characters easier
>>
>>719984286
There should be shops littered throughout the world where you can buy characters, costumes, and vehicles
>>
>>719981119
I think it’s up now
>>
>>719984372
they should give currency to unlock things by doing p-switches.
>>
>>719984517
Why aren’t the peach medallion a currency
>>
>>719984120
I don’t think any characters in world work like bowser jr and the koopalings in smash
>>
I just realized, how would a course like baby park work in world
>>
>>719984751
a long straightaway which leads to one lap of baby park
>>
>>719966000
Which ones would you want if they did?
>>
>>719984876
Would be cool just for the fact that it’d allow us to explore the actual park for once
>>
>>719984175
Food delivery is more about speed. Taxi blends speed and performance (the costumer not being freaked). Admittedly, it's a stretch.
>>719984274
Battle mode took a massive hit, even compared to 8 for the Wii U.
>>719984286
>>719984372
Better yet, have the enemies be bosses you can fight and race side characters in order to unlock them. It's crazy that's not how you unlock them.
>>719984627
The costumes are treated like their own characters, so it wouldn't be too farfetched. Course, I wouldn't complain if Diddy, Dixie, and Cranky got their own costumes. I'm just thinking about how Nintendo would spend their resources.
>>
>>719985028
What makes it worse than wii u 8 in your opinion
>>
>>719985028
Makes sense
>>
before Mario Kart World was shown or announced I always thought the next MK game would have a story mode with a huge world map like the 2D and 3D games, and that it'd have a full story mode with bosses and such.

It's just such a shame that they created all those models and animations for the different overworld enemies across the map, but you can't interact meaningfully with any of them, they're just window dressing.

I would like to see some sort of story/boss mode where you battle some of these giant enemies with unique cutscenes, a bit like the bosses from Mario Kart DS, but I know it won't happen

What's the point of making a stupidly big overworld just to have it be empty and not be able to interact with anything, this game is just plain depressing.
>>
>>719984120
Boss fights in the open world would be killer
>>
It would've been cool if you had to race against the npc to unlock it instead of the shit we have now
>>
>>719985487
Kind of like how smash bros does it?
>>
>>719983601
I hope that’s dead now
>>
>>719985616
Pretty much yeah
>>
>>719985028
If they ever do costumes as their own characters, I want them to add in the paper mario partners as costumes
>>
>>719983802
The only crossover I'll accept is a Double Dash sequel that borrows from DK, Wario, and Mario spinoffs. At the very least, you've got 100 characters right there but the challenging part is making sure they all pair well with each other thematically. I'd happily post the roster I'm currently working on for fun right now but you just know the Switch 2 era is going to add more characters to the Mario universe so I'll have to update it from time to time. That and I keep getting range banned so I'm lucky to be able to post at this current time.
>>
>>719983535
No, because Sarasaland is not a fucking desert kingdom. It HAS a desert kingdom, but it also has ones based on the Bermuda Triangle, Easter Island, and China.

>>
>>719986187

I wonder if they’ll add a birthday themed course for the 40th anniversary
>>
I think it's pretty likely that this game will get DLC. It's a game they want to be evergreen for the entirety of the Switch 2's life cycle, and is also an incentive to pay for the online subscription.
I think the bigger question is: will it be paid DLC? The game is already retailing at an above-average price. Making the DLC free would get more people on board with that. But of course people will pay up anyway, so I don't even know why I'm questioning it.

It comes down to the lack of Battle content in a post-8DX world. I understand that battle mode isn't the most popular mode for a racing game, but only releasing a new Mario Kart with just Coin Runner and Battle Balloon is simply disappointing. There are so many ideas that could be done with an open world battle mode. Competitive and cooperative fights with real players and computers. It would be madness. It would be glorious. But instead, we got the barebones. It's just sad.

tl;dr expectations crashed into reality
>>719985337
RIGHT! Open world boss fights are so cool! Bananza scratched that itch with Abracajabya and Void Kong, but a DS battle fight in an open field would be something special. Definitely worth the $80.
>>719986165

>>719987875
Believe me, I know there's a giant gap where Wario characters should be. Any suggestions on who pairs well with one another? Not sure who Captain Syrup goes with and I'm not too familiar with the WarioWare series so I'm not too confident in how I would pick them. I'd fucking love to add the Wario World bosses but I know for sure that that would be pure nonsensical bias on my part so I probably won't do that unless I'm mistaken?

Nintendo is unpredictable, and precedence doesn't mean as much as it used to. That being said, they tend to do September directs, and NatetheHate suggested we'd be getting one on the 11th or 12th, and as far as leakers go, he's had a good track record this past year.

>>719984056

At the top of my head, I can easily picture some of the larger obstacles being made into bosses.
>The giant eel requires you to grind on its tail, jumping from arch to arch, to land on its head.
>Avoid the barrels from Robo DK as he stands in front of a floor spring and use said spring to fly into him, either knocking him back or hitting some self-destruct switch on him.
>Avoid the T-rex as it hunts you down in an open area like that one in Odyssey's Wooded Kingdom, grab a bob-omb, and throw it into its mouth as it charges as you.

As someone who hasn't really played a MK game since Wii, why are all the items automatically held behind you now and you can't strategically use them? I can lose all my 3 shells just by running into one person.

Where's the fake item boxes? Where's the SOUL?
>>
Do the bombs no longer automatically explode if someone is near? Seems impossible to hit anyone with that now unless they run into you from behind (and the explosion should totally affect you too).

Obviously, Nintendo's current model is releasing a game technically complete but adding like that extra 10 or 15% of content that shoud had been on release as DLC.
I do wish it comes with QoL shit. Give me a Character UI that isn't dogshit and hides costumes in a submenu once you choose a character, and also a checklist for the open world overall.

Pauline really has nothing. I'm surprised she didn't even get her Oddisey look

...Animal Crossing? Splatoon? Pokemon? BOTW? Xenoblade? Fire Emblem?
Fuck, Even Mario Maker got DLC

I NEED GBA rainbow road, seeing peach's/bowser's castle from paper mario in HD would make me cum buckets

someone explain the hype for "k rool"
looks just like a black (green) obese man (croc) and nothing special, did nothing special in dkb.

>>720001707
A seemingly goofy villain the likes of Bowser and King DDD Yes, he was only a villain in one game but is still a reoccurring boss but is actually a depraved psychopath like Ridley or Porky, versatile designs what with his iconic outfits, being MIA for two decades so that no one would have K Rool fatigue, and being based off an already cool animal will do that for you.
