90 Mario Kart 8 DLC Pack 2

Metacritic's Wii U Game of the Year. There's no getting around the fact that the highest-scoring Wii U "game" of the year is a DLC pack. The numbers are what they are, and, well, that's the state of the Wii U these days—the quantity of releases pales in comparison to the other consoles. As far as downloadable content goes, however, this second Mario Kart add-on introduces enough new characters and tracks (including some from the Animal Crossing series) to more than justify its bargain price.
