Nov 16, 2014DLC that gives you more that you pay for? Sign me up. Mute City in particular is one of the best stages in Mario Kart History and all the other tracks are fun too.
-
Nov 13, 2014This piece of DLC is an excellent value that only helps enhance an already wonderful game. Other companies should take note and follow the example Nintendo has set for video game DLC. I am looking forward to the second set of DLC for Mario Kart 8, and I hope to see more in the future.
-
Nov 17, 2014Great DLC, make DLC like this for smash and you will be the main for all gamers. Other companies should be more like Nintendo and add content that adds extra to a game rather than completing an incomplete game. (Sorry this review became a bit of a rant)

Dec 3, 2014I usually don't like and don't buy DLC, but when I saw the amount of content of this one I was sold out. And I'm happy to say that this pack worth each cents. If you like Mario Kart you should buy it, I think you already bought.

Nov 17, 2014Nices courses with nice graphics, nice gameplay and nice music... All nice! New characters are good additions too (8 of every 12 people choose one of them online) and new cars and pieces are good too. But the point to this DLC is the courses!! If you have the game you should buy it.

Feb 7, 2015Let's compare this DLC to the Call Of Duty: Ghost Devastation. Cod= 20 dollars, Mario Kart= 8 DOLLARS! Cod= 4 new maps, Mario Kart= 8 NEW COURSES! Cod= 1 WEAPON, Mario Kart= 4 KARTS AND EVEN 3 NEW CHARACTARS, INCLUDING LINK! This is how you make DLC, and i can't wait for the next pack.
-
Dec 22, 2014THIS! This is how you do DLC! Add optional things to the game which will expand the content! 3 characters8 stages for just a couple of dollars is a fantastic deal! Highly recommend! Overall if you own Mario Kart 8 and are looking to expand your game I recommend you pick this DLC up!

Apr 8, 2015You all should get this DLC. It shows that Nintendo is everything. They might do some horrible choices sometimes however they always seem to listen to the online community at times and show that they appreciate gamers. You can even get a small discount is you decide to get both packs at the same time.

Nov 18, 2014The new tracks are absolutely fantastic, especially the F zero and Zelda tracks. They both have fantastic new twists on coin collection. Playing as Link is a dream come true, Tanooki Mario also has his charm and cat peach is one for the ladies. Brilliant DLC.

Nov 13, 2014Great piece of DLC new characters are great, tracks are awesome and the cars are detailed and look great. Overall brilliant piece of DLC can't wait until next pack.

Nov 18, 2014Best combination of Quality/Value, DLC in MK8 is a real +pay for +fun
The best thing in this dlc is the new tracks like mute city, Hyrule track and the Dragon`s one (my favorite) -

Nov 18, 2014Nintendo are the only ones who do DLC right, it is more like an old school expansion pack. They deliver quality above all others and do it at a great price.
-
Feb 7, 2015A stunning HD game gets a ridiculously awesome DLC full of fun and value? So many other developers make weak DLC that was clearly held back for profits. Not Nintendo. They added half a game more for just a few bucks. Wow.
-
Mar 10, 2022DLC pack 1 is far superior to DLC pack 2, and that is all I have to say about it.
-
Nov 30, 2014This DLC for Mario Kart 8 is the right road to do this type of content. Please learn Capcom, Play Link and the circuits like Temple of Hyrule or excite bike are awesome.

Jan 3, 2015Nintendo: Doing everthing so much better than Sony and Microsoft, especially DLC
It bewilders me that the Wii U is so underselling...
Link in Mario Kart? No I can fangasm all over the floor. That mute city remix is divine. If you have Mario Kart 8, BUY THIS DLC RIGHT NOW! It is the best DLC since Dual Destinies's Turnabout Reclaimed. -
Jan 4, 2015Una belleza de DLC por un precio excelente, una increíble expansión para una joya de juego, con un precio barato. ALTAMENTE RECOMENDABLE. Link y su expansión te esperan!

Aug 6, 2015I really love the 1st DLC pack! I love all of the characters, vehicles and tracks! Sure Tanooki Mario and Cat Peach are unnecessary but seriously. I don't care about them. In fact, I don't care about the character roster in any game. I'm one of the very few to do so! But anyway, BUY THE DLC IF YOU CAN!!! (AND WANT!)
-
Jun 22, 2018Overall great value for money, with mostly good tracks and vehicle customisation options. There's some non-Mario stuff included (such as Link, from The Legend of Zelda series, being playable) which I think is pretty cool. Tanooki Mario and Cat Peach are pretty 'meh' additions to the roster though (why not Bowser Jr. or Diddy Kong or something?).
-
Apr 23, 2017I think 10/10 is an on-spot review for exactly what I would want in DLC. F-Zero and LoZ courses alone make the purchase worth it. Additionally, there are more characters and cars that creates a fun experience for all to enjoy.

Dec 18, 2014Nintendo’s first downloadable content for Mario Kart 8 is a welcome addition that can rekindle the players’ dedication to the game. Pushing for more contents from outside the Mario universe is a very good idea and expectations are high for the next DLC batch.
-
Nov 24, 2014It's a great package, offered for the right price. Fans of the game should buy and don't look back.
-
Nov 17, 2014Nintendo deserves props for using DLC as an opportunity to add to an existing game package, rather than sell something that should have been in the original release in the first place. It's a fine line to tread, but Nintendo's showing the other publishers how DLC should be done.
