Mario Kart 8 is incredible, and it needs to be enjoyed by as many people as possible.
What I do have a problem with, is Nintendo charging full price £50 for a game, on which they've no doubt already made a profit and recouped their investment into it.
It's not as thought this is Wind Waker or Twilight Princess, which needed complete HD overhauls....this is for all intents and purposes pretty much the same game, and should be released at around £20 or so.
Mario Kart 8 still sells at retail for 35GBP. The DLC on top of that is another 20-25GBP or so.
They'd be completely off their heads to sell a port of one of their best selling Wii U games for only 20GBP. The full cost of the current package (on Wii U) is around 60GBP I think and that's without the additional content they're adding for Deluxe (New Characters, Battle Stages, Battle Modes and returning weapons).
