That does look cool. If other classic Nintendo titles get a course maybe Balloon Fight? Donkey Kong?

I'll be live-streaming MK8 again tonight, if anyone is interested in joining!
Letting you guys know early, in case anyone wants to be added to play.

I usually shoot for around 8 or 9PM EST time. (Usually ends up closer to 9PM, as I have a curse of never being able to start on time for whatever reasons.)

Curses, I'm watching my wrestling program around that time lol.

I just realised this hasn't been mentioned on here yet.
I'm pretty sure this'll be shown on the direct in 3.5 hours. But hype!
If anyone hasn't seen, Nintendo accidentally leaked info on their Mario Kart website last night (now taken down).
It included;
~ Software system update for Amiibo integration on the 13th (very likely the DLC pack wil release with it seeing as the Mercedes karts came with the last software update)
~ Samus, Kirby, Fox and Captain Falcon (and Link and the Mario amiibo) amiibo figures will be compatible with MK8. Allowing you to dress your mii up as the characters. (How this works for Kirby no one knows. xP)

I hope they come tonight. But I guess next week is good too.
Yeah, others have said it might just be the streetpass hats for them ~ seeing as they already have templates. I can see the Mario characters and Link also just being mii hats seeing as these amiibo were made for Smash predominantly and we don't know yet if they can actually store data for other games.

Well, that dashes my dreams of the Amiibos being used to actually port the character in. Still, good information to know and more of a reason for me not to buy those figures. lol
Thanks for the info!

I gave up that notion when Link and Villager became DLC. I think Nintendo intended on this originally, but it proved too much work to actually impliment.
Also a few people think this is pointing to more DLC with those characters included, but if that were the case Villager would be listed and he's not.
But we'll see what comes from the direct. Maybe they'll make the back of your miis head look convincing enough that you can just name a Mii Fox and use that?
If they're using the StreetPass hats as reference like SSB4 did, then maybe. If you squint a little at least.
I think there's not much else they could've done with the Amiibo. Channeling the character in would require a fairly large update, and while I'd love a Nintendo All-Stars racing title I think they're easing consumers (or themselves) into it with the upcoming DLC.
Hoping to see more on this in the Direct that's on in an hour or something.
No, but seriously... Mute City looked great. I loved F-Zero back in the days and it's kinda sad that they've let the series, however short it was, die off like that. Hopefully this DLC pack will let me relive those happy times... maybe.
The Master Cycle or whatever looks great in-game, and the Hyrule Circuit also looked great. Definitely more excited for this DLC more now. I'll race y'all on Mondays if I can.

I could have really done without SNES Rainbow Road coming back again when it was just brought back in MK7, but I'm excited for the other new and returning courses!

I'm excited for the DLC, but it is a shame that SNES Rainbow Road came back. It was spammed too much for me in MK7 and I now don't like that course. I'm very interested in the Excitebike Arena and Hyrule Circuit.

Yeah...I'm starting to think Nintendo hates Super Circuit lol.
I might be hallucinating, but am I the only one who saw Gobblegut in Dragon Driftway?
HOLY CRAP THAT WAS INSANE THOUGH!!!
These new tracks are too much! I shake at what might be in the 2nd pack!
EDIT: WAJA IT IS GOBBLEGUT!!! I wonder what other things they might bring back. The Weedles (?) would fit in that tree stage!
