Honestly I love the idea of Mario Kart becoming a sort of SSB universe, but obviously focusing on racing. I've thought a trainer on a bike would be cool. A motorcycle themed to look like one of the bikes from the game. Lol, or maybe even a Meowth/TR themed vehicle.

Speaking of which, I love how Nintendo managed to get the rights to add a Mega Man suit but didn't bother with a Pikachu one yet. Pikachu is certainly popular enough to be worth a single costume.
Not that I care much for Mii costumes, I just find it funny that Nintendo does very little to milk what happens to be one of their most powerful IPs.
They could make some serious money off of Pokemon DLC, and they definitely have the ability to do it; they just aren't doing it because it's Nintendo.
Ah well, Gamefreak milks Pokemon enough for them anyway.

Mega Man's, Pac Man's, and Sonic's owners really can't say no to contributing a small part to a huge successful racing game...considering their IPs are not selling well.

That's 150cc.
And as I haven't given my thoughts in pack 2 yet, here goes:
I like the tracks, except CL, BP, and NBC. That being said, I don't love any if them. Ribbon Road and Big Blue are probably my favorites. The tree one has such a great concept but other than visually it feels a bit lacking. AC is actually pretty basic, and if not for the seasonal changes, I think it would be subpar. SBS feel too cramped for me, and I hate pretty much every turn in it. As for the update, 200cc is alright, but I really think 150 is the best.
All in all, the dlc and update are pretty solid, but I liked the first pack better.

It was probably more "hey can we have [x] in mario kart as a costume" "sure ok you already have the amiibo" but more...business-y
It's not like being a costume in mario kart will see a sudden marked increase in sales for anything, much less mega man games (which dont exist), pac-man games (which i dont think has gotten another update in a while), or sonic games.
Nintendo for whatever reason usually doesnt go to the Pokemon well in these things. Beyond the obvious smash bros thing, the only other instance I can think of is that the gamecube Animal Crossing had the pocket pikachu. Even club nintendo doesnt put up pokemon anything so far as I recall.

key word being marginal, sure
it's seriously no where near the position you're pushing of "SHOOT THEY HAVE US BY THE NECK WE GOTTA GIVE THEM THE RIGHTS" especially when 2/3rds arent even being made and they have other avenues they're pursuing
Shoot Namco helped with the game, I think, so its more shocking they didnt just add pacman

Right right, but Nintendo would probably/could probably approach them and easily* work out a deal for something time to time
*relatively speaking...probably. maybe not a lot of the time since that'd get annoying to jump through legal hoops i guess

well I might be confused. I thought the brake button was the same as reverse, which both the reverse and drift button are the B button. Have to google what the actual brake is then.
Edit: http://www.mariowiki.com/Mario_Kart_8#Controls
brake/reverse is the B button. Drift is can be used as the B/1 button. So i'll have to learn how/probably just start pressing 1 when drifting I guess.

Well until I get the hand of 200 cc (where the heck is the brake on wiimote tilt controls?), I'll stick to 150 cc.

I love how fun 200cc is. That's about it, aside from me and friends cursing loudly at the screen every 5 seconds

I think we just need to ditch Mario Kart, Party, etc. and turn them into Smash Bros games. That could potentially bump the fun and popularity of such games.

I think it'd be kind of lame if they turned every spin off into Nintendo Party
Sure the reference courses are cool, but I like how they can take mario aesthetic or base and apply that to all kinds of distinct places. Sure they can do that with Link or Animal Crossing, but I think it'd be different.

While I love the idea of Smash Kart, I think it should be more along the lines of Mario Kart featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series some of Nintendo's greats & Knuckles. Keep all the Mario characters while adding star characters from other Nintendo series. In other words, Kirby, Pikachu, Link(and maybe Toon Link), Samus, and Captain Flacon are fine. Ganondorf, Lucina, Charizard, and Falco are not.
Also since we're already implementing F-Zero, with Smash Kart becoming a thing, I say let's implement Kirby Air Rideand Sonic Riders as well by adding the Warp Star as a part of a new hover board type vehicle because why not. And Venomoth the Dragon Slayer.
