This is my thought too. I'd much rather pay a little to get more for a game I already have than buy an entire new game.Definitely going to buy it. Despite what's being said about some of the graphics, 48 tracks for less than dollar CDN each is pretty stellar. I knew Nintendo wouldn't bring out Mario Kart 9 due to business reasons, so the fact that they're still going to give us SOME kind of Mario Kart content is perfect, in my book.
I loved battle mode. I actually played it more than racing. I always play battle mode more on Mario Kart games, but I think it got worse in Mario Kart 8. My favorite battle mode and the one I had the most memories with was Mario Kart Wii.On another note, I'd love the Balloon Battle maps to make a return too. I know we'll just get cups, but the ones on Mario Kart DS are just so iconic.
