[WiiCube_2013]

It came out sometime this morning but for some reason DLC 2 wasn't downloaded so it is now.

Can still drift without slowing down.

Got the 4.0 patch and damn, brakes really are needed. I did SNES Rainbow Road and ended up lapping the person, Waluigi, who was in last, still on his second lap. The MKTV footage cut his race short to two laps because I was so fast he never reached his third lap.

Bah scratch that! 200cc is turning out to be quite tough to get under control I keep either going against the wall or fall off the track.

Not as exciting and easy as I'd thought it'd be.

200cc.. Man, that is very fast.

Lol. So it would be more exciting if it was easier?

Of course I would have a shit ton of stuff to do today and probably won't have time to touch it. How are the new tracks?

I take it you've never played F-Zero GX XD

Nope. That's the thing, the harder it is the more exciting it makes for a race but online races are 150cc. There is however 200cc on Tournament but it's a mix of humans & bots.. not really much fun. :-/

I was hoping Nintendo would've made 200cc enabled for all online races but it's not the case.

I take it you've never played F-Zero GX XD

I have but this is Mario Kart and it's not known to be a fast racing game per say.

 

[Purple_Shyguy]

Fuck Nintendo man.

200cc's been out what? 5 hours?

When are we getting 250cc already?! Nintendo so lazy.

 

[WiiCube_2013]

Keep it coming, Nintendo!

I dare to say that DLC 2 is better than the first one!

Hope that DLC 3 includes Battle Mode stages because that REALLY needs proper stages and come on.. 2 items pe character!

Strange, the DLC is downloaded but i can't see 200cc anywhere...

 

[Tomobobo]

Man not enough free space on this measly 8gb Wii u. Not enough USB ports for the lan adapter, the vWii HDD, GC controller adapter and the Wii u HDD. Damn. Wasn't there some way to partition your drive to have a Wii and Wii u partition?

 

[WiiCube_2013]

All Mii racing suits but darn it.. requires them amiibos. :-/

 

[Terenigma]

Well thats the first 4 cups done. Its time to get 3* on all the 200CC cups! Wish me luck!

 

[digipimp75]

Downloaded the new dlc this morning and played a few tracks before leaving for work. Looking good! Can't wait to unlock 200cc in single player

DLC is separate from the 200cc update, it might just be late for the party

Nope, sorry :/ the Wii U format totally wipes the partition table

 

[Tomobobo]

Yeah I just read up on it. :C

 

[KingVamp]

I don't care about the amiibo suits. I just started downloading it.

Dragon Driftway is incredibly painful unless you have good skills with a sharp-turning bike.

Also:

That's me, Bowser, 1st place, on my third lap, passing Waluigi, who's in last place, on his second lap. After reviewing the MKTV footage, he didn't even get to race a third lap because he was so slow.

 

[Osha]

Goddamn, 200cc is fast, I love it. gotta make good use of dem brakes, though.

Spoiler

Baby Park is pure chaos, and it's ridiculously easy to lap the last player if you're competent enough. Also, Dry Bowser's bike is sexy as hell.

Spoiler

And a neat detail for Animal Crossing. Not only are the coins replaced by Bells, but when you hit a rock, a Bell pops out of it. It's the little things.

Edit: spoilered because the pics are too big. :v
