There are only a couple dozen tracks in Mario Kart 7 for 3DS, so I got to thinking about DLC downloadable tracks for the game. I think I’d be willing to pay around $5 for each new “cup” of four courses. Of course, this would create a question around the inclusion of these courses in the online aspect of the game.

Do you think this is a good idea and how much would you be willing to pay?

First of all, let me thank everyone who has participated in our official Infendo community so far. It’s not the most popular community ever, but I’ve gotten more enjoyment out of it than any other community I play in.

With that out of the way, I now have some great community news to report! As of today, 17 players have found their way into community races. We reached a record during our last community night with a whopping 2 groups playing simultaneously (it may have reached 3 once I found a group to race with). Let’s go for 5 this Saturday! (more…)

I was glad to see that, even though I only encountered about two other racers during our first MK 7 community night, other racers have found chances to duke it out with each other on the Infendo community. I’m determined to keep the steam going, so here’s my proposal for community nights: plan on them every Saturday night at 7:00 p.m. US-Eastern unless we designate otherwise.

Since this Saturday is Christmas Eve, I’m thinking earlier would be best. Therefore, the official change (for this Saturday only) is 1:00 p.m. US-Eastern. Be sure to find out what time that is in your zone! Will you be able to make it?

Here’s what I propose: Saturday, December 17; 7:00 p.m. US/Eastern. There’s no way we can arrange for a time that suits everyone, but if you miss out, don’t worry: this won’t be the last community night!

I do want to hear some feedback, though. Will you be able to make it? Should we have it sooner? Comment away, racers.

Joining a community in Mario Kart 7 is very simple. In the main menu, select “Online Multiplayer” (you’ll need to be connected to the internet, of course). From the online menu, select “Communities”, then select “Search by Code”. Enter in the community code found at the top of this post and join in. Hope to see you there! (more…)
