Now, this image is the big takeaway. As you can see, Nintendo's still keeping a lot of things secret.
Now, we still don’t know for sure if this is the final build, but this is the build that was demonstrated in the NicoNico stream, and the same build that’s been shared to press and has been shown off in live events. We can only assume there would not be that many changes in the final game, if there are any at all.
Mario Kart 8 is coming May 30 for the Wii U.
