3. Mario Kart 8 DLC Was Lush

We don’t need to look as far afield as the Witcher for examples where expansion content can shine, as there is one sitting close by. Mario Kart often begs for more content, even when plenty of it already needs players to unlock all the vanilla goodies.

Getting more vehicles, more characters and more tracks is a craving of every player, and one that Nintendo finally agreed to satisfy with DLC goodness in Mario Kart 8 and good gods did they leave us stuffed.

Across the two packs, they gave players six new drivers to choose from, including crossover appearances from Link as well as the Villager and Isabella of Animal Crossing fame, and a whopping sixteen new courses derived from other Nintendo games, retro tracks and new concepts. To put that in perspective, that’s an additional 50% to existing tracks.

Couple that with the super paced 200cc mode, and the early incentive buy that gave you eight new colours for both Yoshi and Shy Guy if you bought both DLC packs early you had a mighty meaty deal that was hard to pass up.

Copy-paste that model on to Breath of Wild and breath that same kind of innovation and value for money in to it and you have yourself a winner.
