Nintendo has introduced a launch date — August 4th — for the following DLC programs coming to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. This second wave consists of eight programs, the identical as what we noticed when the primary wave launched in March. They’re principally based mostly round tracks present in earlier Mario Kart video games, however there’s one which’s model new: an ice cream-themed course known as Sky-Excessive Sundae.
Operating down the returning tracks from earlier video games, there’s Kalimari Desert from the N64 model of Mario Kart, Mario Circuit 3 from the SNES, Mushroom Gorge from the Wii, Waluigi Pinball from the DS, Snow Land from the GBA, and New York Minute and Sydney Dash, which each beforehand appeared within the mobile-focused title Mario Kart Tour. Nintendo’s announcement notes that Sky-Excessive Sundae is because of come to Mario Kart Tour at a later date.

The wave is the second of six that Nintendo has introduced, which in February it stated would launch over the following two years. In whole, Nintendo is including 48 tracks to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, doubling the quantity of tracks that the sport included at launch in 2017. The sport is likely one of the most profitable titles to have been launched for the Nintendo Change, having offered over 45 million copies.
The second wave of tracks is included as a part of the Nintendo Change On-line + Enlargement Pack subscription or can be bought as a part of the Booster Course Go for $24.99. That value consists of all 48 DLC tracks that may finally be launched for the sport.
Personally, I used to be a bit of underwhelmed by the primary set of eight tracks, which I didn’t suppose have been bursting with life just like the programs discovered within the base recreation. However, with extra of this second wave of tracks based mostly on mainline console Mario Kart entries somewhat than Tour, hopefully they’ll really feel extra energetic.
