- - - Post Merge - - -

ugh i'm probably going to have to wait weeks to get the mario kart 8 bundle since my parents don't let me use credit cards online. they really hate doing online deals.

You could probably buy it in stores. Less than 20 days guys!

There isnt any DLC.

it's a good thing there isn't dlc because i don't want to pay to get a new character or map

 

[Solar]

I mean they could announce DLC, ever since the Mario Golf DLC there has been some buzz about maybe Mario Kart 8 or Smash getting it and I kinda hope they do but it would depend on what they put in each pack.

Finished paying for the pre-order yesterday. Now all we have to do is wait~

Though waiting is arguably the worst part.

Waiting will be the death of me.

This article states that IGN reported 14 unlockable characters, and that 4 haven't been revealed? Is this true or not????

I will buy this game, looks great
i dont have spoilers either.

Only thing i dont like is the character roster. Baby peach daisy and rosalina are dumb, golden peach is silly and the koopa kids just seem like filler.

I've seen rumors of Diddy everywhere. Where did you get that 4 haven't been revealed though? I mean if Diddy is confirmed there has to be more than him because it would be uneven on the roster. But I just don't think he will be because many reviewers already have copies of their game, so everything has to be final.

IGN reported there are at least 14 unlockable characters. As of right now, 10 are confirmed. They include: Larry, Morton, Wendy, Iggy, Roy, Lemmy, Ludwig, Pink GOld Peach, Baby Rosalina, and Mii.

4 aren't confirmed, if 14 unlockable characters is true.

Those are just the new characters. Rosalina, Lakitu, Toadette, and Metal Mario will be unlockable as well. On the note of characters, I've noticed that almost every website has something different for unlocking criteria. One even said that it's possible that after you complete any Grand Prix, you will unlock a random character.

It's probably not real then. Too bad, that would be neat if there was some secret characters not even announced :c

I agree 100% I like some secrets in my games haha. I am however kinda neutral about the characters might be randomly unlocked after each Grand Prix, watch me have to grind so hard just to get the character I want and have them be last lol.

That's interesting! I don't mind that... In the past, on the wii version, some if the characters were kind of hard for me to unlock because I'm not as good at console versions. Oh, and with Rosalina you had to have super mario galaxy

I was lucky enough to have Mario Galaxy save file and get her pretty quick but MAN if you didn't have one it must've taken forever to unlock her. Now I wonder if there might be a catch with this. Like could you play one cup in 50cc the whole time and unlock all the characters or maybe each character is assign to a class but not a specific cup? Like in order to unlock Rosalina you would have to play 100cc but it could be any 100cc cup. Haha maybe I'm over thinking it but I'm excited like you said, some of the other characters were super troublesome to unlock.
