Post by: Phil on August 05, 2014, 10:04:09 PM

Will add the ability to put the map on the main screen, have stat tracking (no more guessing how many wins/losses/coins you have, real have 3 free Mercedes-related vehicles, and improved online stability.


NWR will have full details on the site in an official news post later on.

But still not the only two things that this game desperately needs - real battle mode courses, and TV/GamePad multiplayer.

IGN is saying that you will also be able to save your most recent kart setup and be able to edit other player's highlights, for some reason.


Also the Mercedes cars are a 1957 300 SL Roadster, a 1934 W25 Silver Arrows formula racing car, and a GLA SUV.

Aside from the 1934 Sliver Arrow they all look stupid and out of place.

They look fine, but none of them can top...

look at that style, I know you're all jealous

it even has a speaker system and some lighty tail fins, so you can be that bastard on the road who plays their music too loud

Does Mercedes put speakers on the back of their car like that?
Do they have weird lighty tail fins that serve no purpose?

And that's why the official.

Anyone wonder if they will anyone any more DLC, paid or free, once this hits? It would be nice to get something holiday themed in November/December.
