More Updates Are Planned For Mario Kart 8

July 13, 2018 by Jordan Coetsee

Nintendo is still dedicated to updating Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

In a recent interview video entitled “Ask Mr. Takahashi,” the head of software development made an interesting comment towards the party-racing title.

Following Takahasi’s statement on the ability to use Nintendo Labo’s Toy-Con Motorbike, Shinya Takahashi goes on to say that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has further updates planned and that he hopes fans will look forward to. From there he goes on to speak about The Legend of Zelda Breath of The Wild.

Takahashi also said to expect “more free updates all the way until December” for Splatoon 2.

I’m quite excited to see what else Nintendo will be bringing to the table – thoughts? Let us know in the comments down below.


  • With Nintendo Switch, fans can race in the definitive version of “Mario Kart 8” whenever and wherever they want – even with up to eight friends in local multiplayer mode. “Mario Kart 8 Deluxe” includes all the tracks and characters from the Wii U version as well as all the tracks and characters that were previously only available as downloadable content.
  • In addition, a few new characters in the driving fun to enter: the Inkling boy and the Inkling girl from Splatoon, King Buu Huu, bone dry and Bowser Jr.!
  • In addition, the battle mode has been revised and can now also come up with balloon battle and Bob-omb-litter, with new routes such as Dekabahnstation and fighting arena and recurring routes such as Luigi’s Mansion from Mario Kart: Double Dash !! for the Nintendo GameCube and Battle Course 1 from Super Mario Kart for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is out now for Switch.
