Mario Kart 8 DLC?

Well, Nintendo has finally succumb to the first step of becoming EA. Making useless DLC to promote some sort of sporting event that is happening in one country. In this case, they added... Mercedes Karts? Well, we're off with flying colours seeing as though about five people will look at that and say: "Wow, a Mercedes in Mario Kart? Just what I've always wanted!"

It's a ridiculous idea. You have all of these unique, creative cars and you decide the first of many DLC's will be a Mercedes? To be honest, I do think this marks a step for Nintendo. It's the first time they've added DLC from what I can remember and I want to see where they can take it. I'm sure they'll be adding more Karts, hopefully some of the classic maps that weren't featured and maybe some new characters. Of course, you would have to buy a Wii U first, which not many people have done and I'm also guessing that this DLC will not be free. It'll probably cost you roughly 69p, the same amount as a cheap iPad app.

This could be a big break for Nintendo, but it could also break them.
