I'm exactly the same.

Goodness! This is exceptional DLC!!

200cc just re-wrote the entire rule book. Tapping brake to maintain your drift curve feels a little like 16-bit F-Zero.

Mushrooms are now a booby-prize. Boost at the wrong time and you're finished. Being KO'd isnt all that bad anymore anyway, as you can make a come-back in next to no time whatsoever.

The best game of last year, may just be the best game this year, still amazing

Wow Wow Wow!

This is such a good racer and sooooooooo much fun!

[nakamura]

I wished I liked this more but it just irritates me and the courses are either amazing or rubbish. It needed more anti gravity and less blue shell.

[dataDave]

3x red shells are still worse. As is evident from the following:



I fell off like a cack-hander for trying to cut into the curve too early, it still wouldn't have made a difference though.

I've done around eight hours on 200cc and only seen two blue shells. They were completely non-influential in the outcome of the race at that.

Major red shell spammed at the end there. Only just switched the wiiu on today to download the new pack. Well worth the dough, fantastic new tracks

Highlights of my first try at the AC track:

[Sam The Man]

Such an amazing game especially when playing it with others. That said i am praying for more DLC as there are still a few courses i want especially MK7 Rainbow Road which might be my all time favourite. Koopa Kape, Waluigi Pinball, Maple Treeway and Wario shipyard are just some of the other courses i'd love to see in the game aswel as a proper battle mode.

['Press Start']

It would be amazing of they could pull off a Super Mario Galaxy track. Also a track that starts in 16 bit then upgrades graphics every lap.

[Sam The Man]

Also a track that starts in 16 bit then upgrades graphics every lap.

Now that would be amazing. Perhaps a console/handheld course where you literally drive on a large SNES perhaps using the cart slot for a corner aswel as the power and reset button then you glide in the air over to an N64 and drive around the top of that. Going from that to Gamecube (driving along the handle as a bridge) then onto a Wii and finally a WII U!!!

[kryss]

You're describing a new version of Micro Machines.

[Sam The Man]

I wouldn't mind a new version of that either! Mabee on 3DS...
