    KMT?

  • Thanks OP! Waited so long I forgot I wanted this!

  • 20% off

  • People with no international fee cards and Amazon JP accounts can also get these for even cheaper. Hell even if you have a card with international fees, it's still cheaper than getting it on the eShop.
    ¥2574 for Splatoon 3 Expansion Pass which probably comes to about $26
    ¥2124 for Mario Kart Expansion Pass which roughly comes to $22

      Mind: Redeemable on Jap accounts only.

      Sure, there is the method of ‘switch to jap, redeem and then play via Aus account’. The purchase, however, will always be stuck in the jap account, and may be odd if it’s a one off thing.

    • With the 20% off eShop cards from Coles or the 10% off from JB paid with discounted GC, it's about the same. To change your region, you'll have to empty your balance.

      • The prices on Amazon JP are pretty much always lower than the AU eShop when searching for downloadable games/content, you can use Keepa to check the price history.
        As for region, it's generally just a good idea to make a JP account on your Switch. Most games from Nintendo aren't region locked so there's no real risk in buying from Amazon JP. The only ones off memory that would have issues is Xenoblade 2 and Splatoon 2 and their respective DLC.

      That's $7.50 difference on a DLC that has never been on sale.

      Wouldn't lose sleep over it especially if it's for kids.

      You may leave your ozbargain membership on the way out /s

      Nintendo rarely if ever does discounts on their own DLC's and this game has never had a discount in the years it been out. Don't lose sleep over it, not a rookie mistake :)

        It's the Alanis Morisette irony more than anything else mate, the money is peanuts

    • Joining a family plan for NSO+ is the best value if you want access to all the retro game consoles. Works out to be like $30 a year or whatever between six people.

      • $13.74 for NSO + Expansion /year for family split between 8 people ($109.95/8)

        • Yeah something like that. It's so little money per year I don't even bother keeping track of how much. It includes the Mario Kart DLC.

    • This stinks! This is total BS!

  • Would anyone know if the DLC for MK works with the cartridge version of the game?

    • +3

      Defs should.

      Can confirm it does

    Perfect timing. Last minute Christmas gift sorted.

  • +1

    Good timing just bought the kids MK8 so the add on will be a bonus. Need to wait for them to open their present tomorrow

    Just get an unpatched switch. Bought one for $100 on fb marketplace. Best purchace ever. 25 games and counting.
    People have started flogging them for cheap, getting ready for switch 2

    • Wow $100 switch is great. Need to seek one of these out

      • +1

        Yeah i was lucky.
        Also came with 512gb sandisk card

    • What is this so called unpatched switch? Care to share a listing example on marketplace or gumtree
      ?

      • An 'unpatched' Switch is just the console with older firmware, which enables backed up games to be played on it. They're desirable as it's not possible to install older firmware on newer consoles.

        Listings on Marketplace/ Gumtree come and go pretty quickly, but many would highlight 'low firmware', 'modded' and 'can play backed-up games' in them.

  • do you need nintendo online for this? let my online account with addons for this lapse ages ago…

    • Switch Online Expansion Pack allows you to play the DLC without buying it.

      • Just checked, seems i have the Online+Expansion Pack Family Membership
        So can download the booster course pass for free (already have MK 8 Deluxe) and seems like I can get download Animal Crossing for free without buying the game at all(?).

        !Animal Crossing: New Horizons is required to use this product.

  • How does this work? I've got MK on cartridge, so I just buy this into my account and it'll auto add it to the game or something?

    • +1

      Yes.

      • Thank you! Will grab it..

  • Mario kart DLC is well worth the price.

  • Is this just to add a few courses for $30? Or anything i missed?

    • +3

      It's 48 courses plus more characters. Seems like decent value

    • +2

      48 courses and extra characters. Reviews are great

  • Crazy that DLC for a decade old game is still making the front page. Nintendo is a juggernaut.

    • It’s a very basic game too, but insanely accessible and fun.

  • Are Nintendo ever going to fix their website for eshop? So hard to browse and search for games.
