Mario Kart 8 DLC Coming Later This Month

By Alex Osborn

Mario Kart 8's second DLC pack will release on April 23, Nintendo CEO and president Satoru Iwata revealed during yesterday's Direct broadcast.

This add-on bundle of Animal Crossing-themed digital goodness includes a whopping 8 new tracks, as well as new characters. Soon you'll be able to race as the Villager, Isabelle, and Dry Bowser.

On top of that, the Big N revealed that a new difficulty option is being added to the popular Wii U racer. On April 23 as a free download, every course in Mario Kart 8 will allow players to select the 200cc class, which ups the speed from its previous 150cc max.
