Mario Kart 8 DLC announced!
http://metro.co.uk/2014/08/26/mario-kart-8-dlc-revealed-zelda-animal-crossing-and-f-zero-confirmed-4846932/
Very surprised about Link - not surprised they've added a third Mario/Peach given they came up with the initial roster in the first place. The second leak is more interesting (Dry Bowser!) and fixes one of the major issues I had with the game. £11 is a bit steep to finally make the character roster passable though.

£11 doesn't sound bad when you get another 16 tracks over the two DLC packs as well though!
£11 for an extra 16 tracks, 8 karts, and 6 characters as well as a bonus of the multicoloured yoshis and shy guys. I can't wait.

Favourite character is Daisy? I've seen it all now!
Also I presume the wins are the online wins? Pas I'm currently on 75 wins and 24 losses. I'm pretty happy with my coin count so far (more so as I have not been on MK8 in a while, been busy with Trine 2!) as I have just over 6000 coins.

How do you have so many coins, I've done everything in single player and around 1000 wins... I have 3.7k coins

There shouldn't be any need for invites
There's a "join" button on the group homepage that people can use.Social groups on TSR don't really do a huge amount, but I'd suggest that you could associate this thread and the 3DS thread with the group so that they're shown on its homepage.

thankies, editted it now and also associated the thread.
It sounds like Nintendo is done with "casual games".
Shigeru Miyamoto-
They have obviously now realised that the audience from Wii is long gone.
Shigeru Miyamoto-
“[These are] the sort of people who, for example, might want to watch a movie. They might want to go to Disneyland
Their attitude is, ‘okay, I am the customer. You are supposed to entertain me.’ It’s kind of a passive attitude they’re taking, and to me it’s kind of a pathetic thing. They do not know how interesting it is if you move one step further and try to challenge yourself [with more advanced games].
In the days of DS and Wii, Nintendo tried its best to expand the gaming population.
Fortunately, because of the spread of smart devices, people take games for granted now. It’s a good thing for us, because we do not have to worry about making games something that are relevant to general people’s daily lives."

Good to hear that Nintendo are trying to cater for the more serious gamers from now on, the huge casual group of gamers the Wii had wasn't really going to last, casual gamers seem to much prefer the pick up and play style of games on tablets etc. I really do hope that from the next generation of consoles that Nintendo can compete with Sonys and Microsofts offerings in terms of power (so the Nintendo only gamers don't miss out on major third party titles such as Destiny, Assassins Creed etc) but are still able to add that little bit extra to the gaming community like Nintendo are currently doing with the Wii U gamepad which if implemented properly does add to the overall experience.
Also some other interesting news to share, Nintendo have released the demographic of Nintendo eShop users, if the results are an accurate reflection of the Wii U user base it's kind of surprising given that a lot of hate for Nintendo is because so many people perceive the Wii U and Nintendo to be a much more child friendly brand.
Anyway, here's the link if you wanted to see the full results.

A pathetic thing? That's pretty harsh. Unless the translation is incorrect? Doesn't sound like something a higher up would say about part of their player base.
Either way, it's a good thing. Nintendo need a more powerful console and to win back some of the more hardcore gamers.
Hey everyone. I'm posting on here for the first time so I mainly wanted to say hello 
The news that Nintendo could cater to more serious gamers from now on is very welcome news, in my opinion. This "next step" for them is clearly something they've already dabbled in (The "For Glory" match mode that the new Smash will have? Unless Brawl had that. Iunno, I didn't own a Wii)
I'd certainly like to see Nintendo use this approach not just with games with an already prevalent comp community, like Smash or Pokemon, but with other big titles and new IPs
Anywho, could I just mention how blow completely away I was when I played 3D World earlier this year? Granted, the game has problems when playing it with 4 players, but aside form that, it's a fantastically well put together, beautiful-looking game. I never knew the Wii-U as capable of producing such amazing visuals (I know its also partially down to the art style, but hey)
