We know there's at least going to be an Animal Crossing-themed one, and more than likely at least one based in Hyrule and F-Zero.
This is probably used to test the market: if people will pay for these DLC's, we'll probably see Mario Kart 9 expand into full nintendo stuff. And then people will be frothing in the mouth over characters being included in that one, only for more metal characters. Except Samus and ROB, who become less metal. Somehow.
Well it seems like worthwhile content to me. I'll gladly pay especially since 8 tracks is a very reasonable prize. Of course...the price should be reasonable too.

For 8 tracks and characters?
I'd pay maybe £5-8.

Expect hardcore MK fans to start complaining about clone characters making it in as opposed to their obscure favorites.
Well? Are we going or what?

Though hopefully they make a full game that's a smash brothers racing game.

There are already clone characters in there already. And there are complaints. And honestly? I don't see the point of metal Mario. He's been in one official game, two if you count the remake. It's a lazier recolor since Luigi, but at least Luigi developed his own character.

Same here! Man, imagine Mega Man in a racing game that isn't cripplingly difficult.

So excited for this. I hope this means that Mario Kart will one day expand into a Smash Bros.-esque game where stages, karts, and characters are based on more Nintendo franchises.
If this isn't already the beginning of that idea, Smash Kart will likely happen someday. Alternatively, this could mean Nintendo is more open to the idea of DLC for Smash Bros as well...

It's definitely a mix of both. The images in my post show off at least three new tracks based on F-Zero, Animal Crossing and Excite Bike, as well as Wario's Gold Mine from MKWii. I'm going to guess it'll be an even number of new and returning tracks, to keep the number of new and retro cups even.

16 tracks total, actually, with 8 per pack. The website says the first pack costs £7.00, and I suspect the second pack will likely be the same price. Not sure if that's a good value, though I suppose that's up to individual taste in terms of included courses and characters.

Well, if they can repeatedly include Pac-Man in the Mario Kart Arcade GP games, I don't think Mega Man would be too difficult to include as well. That's more an issue on Capcom's end, however.

There's even a price discount if you buy both together in advance:
And while you have to wait for the packs to release to use the content in them, the Yoshi and Shy Guy colors can be used as soon as you purchase them.
We're also getting the Mercedes Benz DLC and game patch downloads today. In case you forgot, here's the update notes:
- Adds the ability to access the in-game shop and download three free Mercedes-Benz cars: Mercedes-Benz GLA, 300 SL Roadster, and Silver Arrow
- Adds the ability to display the course map on the TV screen during races
- Adds "Play Stats" option to the main menu, allowing users to see gameplay statistics such as total number of coins collected, win-loss record in online play, and more
- Adds the ability to change options of others' Mario Kart TV downloaded highlight reels, such as changing the focus to a new character or event
- Changes the default menu option after each race to "Next Race", followed by "Watch Highlight Reel"
- Improves the vehicle selection process and saves the most recent vehicle customisation settings that were selected, even if the Wii U console is powered down between play sessions
- Improves stability of connection in online play to enhance the user experience
- Increases the maximum attainable Player Rating and Battle Rating from 9999 to 99999
- Introduces additional enhancements to improve the user’s experience and enjoyment
Looks like I'll need to go buy another points card...

Though seems a bit of a rip off how America gets it so cheaper. The double pack at $11.99 costs 20 pence more than one of the UK packs.

Yeah, I do feel ya there.
Still, super-excited for the bundle pack deal. Sorta conflicted like that.

Good question considering this DLC is optional. I'm hoping so, but considering not everyone will be forking out money for this, it's hard to imagine how it will be handled if it is available for online play.
On April 3, 2016, Court Records Forums experienced a miracle upon that day.

Yeah I mean...given how they've made a pretty successful effort in pushing the online multiplayer of MK8 it would be strange if the DLC courses weren't playable together.

I don't believe they've said anything specifically about online play for those without the DLC, but since you can use DLC in other Nintendo titles with others that don't have it (Mario Golf: World Tour comes to mind), I'd imagine you can have the chance to race on the DLC courses in multiplayer if you're racing against someone who owns the pack.
EDIT: Nintendo revealed everything included in the first DLC pack, as well as some extra functions during their Direct yesterday.
DLC Pack 1 includes the following tracks:
- Yoshi Circuit GCN
- Wario's Gold Mine Wii
- Rainbow Road SNES
- Excitebike Arena
- Dragon Driftway
- Mute City
- Ice Ice Outpost
- Hyrule Circuit
Some of them have special rules as well. Mute City is an anti-gravity only course with no coins on the track. To get coins, you have to use the repair grids on the sides of the track, which give you one coin for each second you run over them. Hyrule Circuit lets you collect rupees instead of coins, with several secret shortcuts combined with Zelda fanfare.
Also announced was amiibo functionality. Scanning a compatible one unlocks a character-related costume for your Mii character.
All of this will be available on November 13th.

Vid is in Japanese, but it's easy enough to understand. This 2nd DLC pack looks amazing.

EDIT: XDDD And I just realized this is the MK8 thread and got confused because you mentioned Smash. Haven't played MK8 since the update, I've probably gotten pretty rusty. Been needing to try out the 200cc, but for the life of me, I can't figure out where the breaks are with the nunchuk-wiimote combo because I've never needed to use it before in the 150cc. XD

I imagine brakes would be either B or Z. I'm not sure though.
