Nintendo hinted at something being in the works for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and they've finally unveiled what it was. MK8D has received a update which adds in content from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Link can now wear his Breath of the Wild tunic, and the "Master Cycle Zero" from the Champion's Ballad DLC is now available as a motorcycle kart. The update is up on the eShop, and can be downloaded as of tonight.

Even more Mario-Universe unrelated content in Nintendo Kart? Exactly what is needed...

Just make "Nintendo-All-Stars Racing" already, nintendo

It's the name recognition that helps sell the series though.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe didn't have Master Cycle Zero already in the game? I literally could've swear i saw someone actually playing with the Master Cycle Zero ageees ago o.O

While I stand by my opinion that Mario Kart should stay mostly Mario-centric, this is a nice update.

 

[slaphappygamer]

I want to be able to race as pikachu or sonic. Heck, maybe even one of the contra brothers. Lol. I’d really like to race as goomba, though.

It was a motorcycle that looked like Epona. Not the actual Master Cycle.

small update lol
also the european news says its "Ancient Tyres" but why, the text should be the same as the usa version, is it really worth it changing one word. smh

Hopefully this is a hint of things to come. Some new courses and characters would be nice. When I say new characters I mean Fox, Kirby and the like. No shitty Tanookie Mario or Cat Peach.

 

[supergamer368]

Great. Not even Mario stuff. Why not add more characters instead. Why don’t we have Goomba playable yet? Because they needed that slot for Pink Gold Peach, the most well known Mario character of course. Baby Pink Gold Cat Metal Mario & Knuckles XL is coming soon I heard.

 

[Deleted User]

i dont see the point in dry bowser/tanooki mario/cat peach taking up one slot
just put it as an alt costume on the original character

 

[Moon164]

So... no Mario Kart 9 ?

 

[retrofan_k]

So it was never Deluxe at all lol and should have been MK8D super, ultra edition because they're getting as bad as Capcom with their numerous SF revisions.

 

[InsaneNutter]

I don't think it really fits in with the theme of Mario Kart to be honest, new courses are the only thing that would really add any additional value to the game in my opinion. The game already has enough characters / kart customisation options.

free content?

So first Link appears on MK8(DX) and brings with him a bike that looks like epona, then BoTW has DLC that gives link a motorcycle that resembles the one he has on MK8(DX) (note that people pointed out that it looked like a MK bike), and now we have that bike on MK8DX...

We've gone full circle

 

[Juggalo Debo]

guess I'll get on and download ehhhhh.... damn IT ninty....

 

[Shubshub]

Would've much preferred some additional maps also.

 

[donut32]

Agree with the above re maps/courses. It’s already a re-hash of the wii u version. Either add some maps or get cracking on MK9.... with all the smash bros characters!
