Besides those, I'd be happier if they were to add a patch for having seperate screens in multiplayer.
P1 gets a whole gamepad, P2+ (up to all 4) get to use the whole tv (with a mini map). Other games have done this. I'm not sure why it hasn't been implemented.

Improved match making also a good idea. There's been times I've just been in a 3-4 player match with no one joining.

WHY THE KARP WASNT THIS **** IN THE GAME ON-RELEASE

free dlc

Wonderful. Grand to know that Ninty would actively patch their first-party titles, even for a minor thing such as the lattermost addition. Smash 4 just might get patches w00t.

It's good that they are updating and patching their gamesbut I am hardly excited for Mercedes Karts...

 

[Splash_King]

Ain't much to be excited over, but 'ey, Ninty was obviously payed to include this in-game advertisement. Comes at no cost to us for Ninty t' get some extra funds to aid their poor monetary performance of late, so 'ey. Long as we ain't gettin' commercial breaks mid-gameplay and no pop-ups when we boot up our system, I welcome this sort of non-intrusive advertising.

... ... ... Though vidya gaem advertisements like this would clearly one day go to hell and end up like DLC.

 

[SammyPegs]

As long as they don't stick a load of adverts about the new karts in game I'll be fine.
