Bearing in mind that MKWii had just about a butt fuck ton of characters as MKDD!! did if not more, and you were forced to choose two characters in DD.
I should also bring up in your other statement that there has always been the basic 8 characters in mario kart installments up to say DD, when the games started to expand.
Besides, right now we have about 17 characters in the current roster. And correct me if I'm wrong here but if it's decided that there is DLC in this and nintendo throws in characters like Waluigi amongst others, that brings up the total roster up over 20. So I wouldn't say that's minimalist considering that's what recent MK games have now.
