Hyrule Circuit looks pretty fun to ride on, I like the special requirements for the Master Sword to be pulled out.
Mute City looks like a great tribute. It makes me sad that F-Zero is pretty much dead, I kinda wish they'd make another installment. But that's about as likely as Chrono Break coming out in the coming year.
Excitebike Arena looks pretty hectic which is good. Lots of good possible placements for items to screw over other people.

That would have been a much more enjoyable video without Giggle and Gaggle being bad and the purely amateuristic video editing.
 

Dragon driftway being played on GameXplain. They also do Excitebike, Mute city and Hyrule circuit 1 player, and then have a 4 minute talk on playing the game I think? (haven't watched them yet)
 
Course looks awesome as expected.
I also love how Tanooki Mario turns into a statue in one of his tricks!
 
Ahknow, everything looks awesome. I think I'm actually more excited for this DLC than everything else at the moment. :p I also like that a little triforce appears if Link goes through the master sword ~ or atleast I've seen it once then, not sure if it's just one of his tricks though.

Now we effectively fully know 7 of the 8 tracks. Ice ice outpost we only have 2 tiny clips and a freeze frame, I believe though. Also hoping that an option for playing a round of 40 races appears in the versus rules.

And I love the new glider. The glider selection has been feeling shafted I feel.

My only disappointment is where the tracks are on the menu. Triforce cup should be on top, and all the retro tracks (and excitebike as it's retro) should be in the Yoshi egg cup on the bottom row. Like, WHO ORGANISED THIS?! ~ Though this does group 3 'flat' tracks together. (as in without water/gliding/0-gravity anywhere)
 
I was so looking forward to this month because of the DLC :D
I just can't wait for it to come out (we need a release date already) and the fact that DLC stages will be available online is just the best thing ever :D

I'll be streaming Mario Kart 8 tonight if anyone's interested!

This time, I'll be shooting to start a little earlier at 8PM. I'll put up a link here when it's closer to that time.

I plan to. : )

Though it'll have to be much earlier in the day, since a friend of mine is streaming the MK8 DLC that night. I don't want my stream to end up at the same time as theirs.
 
Oohohoho, many streams!

We should all just group up on Thursday and just play, play, PLAY!!!

Who else would be interested?

I would be if it was later, maybe Friday. I'd like to try out the courses in single player first, get a feel for them.

I'm up for some Mario Kart tonight. Gotta make sure I overplay the current tracks so I can ignore them on Thursday. :3

Yes. I already plan to spend the day, duvooned in bliss playing.
 
I'm gonna get on for a few races in a bit guys, just preordered the DLC (2 months late to the party yeah) like 2 days ago so I'll be rocking a Yoshi.
 
Unfortunately, I have to cancel the stream. Twitch is having technical issues and I've been told it's not just on my end, so... can't stream without my channel. :S Dang. I had everything all set up to go, too.

I'll see about putting it off until 8:30PM/9PM EST and maybe Twitch will have resolved their issues by then.

Edit again: Yeah, got confirmation from Twitch's support end. They're investigating the site loading issues. I'll shoot for 8:30PM EST and if they're not good by then, I'll go for 9PM.

Awh, the one time I make it as well. :eek:
Well I'm racing on global now

Also inb4 a new tournament has to be made to include the DLC tracks, can we have CPU hard online plox?
 
Twitch is working now, so I'll be streaming at 8:30PM EST.

Stream will be here: http://www.twitch.tv/shiirahime

I guess the timing works out, since the WiiU wants to perform a system update right now anyway. lol

By the way, anyone here who wants me to add you to friends list so you can play on the stream, please lend me your Nintendo Network IDs! Mine is right there in the sidebar.
