Mario Kart 8 Wave 6 - Coming November 9th
3 years ago by guywithoutaname to c/nintendo
I've loved this Booster Course Pass. It's been so fun being able to look forward to new waves of content for MK8DX. The majority of the new tracks have been very fun to play on. They continued to surprise me by doing a lot more than courses, too. Characters, options, small features, and even balance tweaks!
Sure, it wasn't all perfect. Sure, all of the tracks are just brought over from Tour and not remixed the same way the base game remixed its retro offerings. Sure, Wave 1 looked like it was made in Roblox. But overall, I think the good far outweighs the bad. This DLC has been awesome. I'm honestly going to miss it. But hey, Wave 6 looks fantastic, so we're ending the BCP with a bang.
Ok how bout Mario Kart 9 already? We went through the lifespan of switch with a Mario Kart remake. I played Mario Kart 8 to death on Wii U, I want a new one. Mario Kart 8 is almost 10 years old ffs
No it's just mk8 dlc. If it was 9 they would have released it as Mario Kart 9, but it's just add ons for a 10 year old game
What exactly would a new Mario kart even get you? Each one is more or less the exact same game with a few new tracks - personally I prefer getting so many new tracks on 8 vs a new title
@bitsplease @Son_of_dad a Mario kart based on skills not on luck
So just an option to turn off items? Is that not already a thing?
@bitsplease on the single player I don't think so. The items are fine, but I would like them to be more like in super mario kart. Right now, if you go in 1st or 2nd is ok, but if you drop to the middle positions you can't even drive properly, it's a mess of items, it's annoying. Basically the last positions have super items all the time that spoils the race to everyone
We will probably get Mario Kart 9 with the next iteration of the console. Other than the games already announced, if we get anything else, it would probably be some other remake, maybe Metroid Prime 2 remake or something.

Really happy with how much support this game got. Wasn’t expecting for them to add so many new modes, items, courses, and characters since the original Wii U launch all the way back in 2014.
