Yoshi Circuit (GC) confirmed for the November Mario Kart 8 DLC pack

I don't mind it making its third appearance, but there's still a LOT of older courses that have yet to receive the retro treatment, making this a bit odd.

Here's some 3D ones that haven't come back yet:

N64
Wario Stadium

GCN
Mushroom City
Wario Colosseum
Bowser's Castle
Rainbow Road

DS
Figure-8 Circuit
Shroom Ridge
Mario Circuit
Bowser's Castle
Rainbow Road

Not all of them have been unveiled yet and as far as I know, this is the first track confirmed for any of these DLC packs as well, out of (supposedly) 8 possible retro ones (since I expect each pack should be 1 cup of new tracks and 1 cup of retro ones). that leaves 7 spots for future retro goodness.

I don't mind this one being remade either, I always liked it . And it brings that Double Dash music too that I liked so much ^^.

Wii Wario's Gold Mine is also confirmed : )

I really want N64 Wario Stadium, and all the N64 ones will be done and I'll be super happy. Although, due to the way Lakitu picks you up as soon as you go off-course now, being a bastard to other racers and lightning bolting them at the top of the big jump in Wario Stadium, making them re-run back around will be no more : (

I would also settle for GCN Rainbow Road because of the music.

That's a good list Azu & I'd definitely love a remake of Wario Stadium & Colloseum as well as the DS Bowser's Castle & version of Rainbow Road.

This was always going to happen at one point. I always like the addition of retro tracks but prefer if Nintendo would keep creating new tracks rather than leaning on old tracks. I do love the music in the GC tracks too. If Nintendo had to use old tracks then they should give a little more love to the GBA tracks. Super Circuit is probably one of my most played games of all time and still prefered it over MKDS. 

I'm still wary about DLC in general as I feel like in normally means that companies are charging more for what should have been already in the game (EA do this and so did THQ). I just hope Nintendo don't go down this route!

I would be kinda surprised if they brought back another Rainbow Road in the same game, let alone two.

Maybe if those two DLC packs are the only two we'll get... and I can't imagine that they'd release another DLC pack beyond the May one, as it would feel weird to me to keep bringing DLC over a year after a game's release... then maybe they'd add a final Rainbow Road one, but I can't imagine there would be two more. Oh well, not too long to wait now .

An easy fix would be to put Rainbow Road 64 back to 3 actual laps! It's a joke at the moment!

I just hope we get a decent battle mode, it's a tad annoying doing constant doughnuts around where item boxes spawn on an entire course to say the least...

love this track! i agree warip stadium n64 should defo be remade aswell as baby park, kalimari(?) desert, bowsers castle gcn and maple treeway wii.ii.

Actually it would be a bit more interesting to see if they want to reuse other assets from other Nintendo games. We know we are getting an Fzero themed track but what about just recreating an fzero track altogether? Put Mute city in there? 

Heck if we are going that far then take some tracks from 1080, WaveRace, excite bike/truck, diddy Kong racing or even a Mercedes test track made to look like a Mario Circuit kind of track
