Gonna be honest, I'm conflicted on the Mario Kart DLC
I would've loved a new entry with new mechanics considering I've been playing this Mario Kart since 2014 and would've loved to see more characters (8's is probably the worst roster in gaming history and Deluxe did add Bowser Bowser Jr. so that's cool, but overall still a disappointing roster).
However, 8 Deluxe's gameplay is solid imo and seeing the track size double is pretty cool, the stages revealed looked nice (particularly Coconut Mall, $25.99 for Coconut Mall on the go is a steal and the other 47 tracks are a bonus), and it disconfirmed Crossroads (for now).
I'm probably still gonna buy and enjoy it, but I don't know if I'm sold on the idea that this is what Nintendo should've done.
