mario kart 8a game was released for the first time ten years ago on the Wii U, it’s not done yet. The Switch 2017 version of the game is currently in the process of running downloadable content, bringing not only new courses to the game, but also new drivers.
We welcome Birdo (along with a Yoshi Island course) in the latest update, released today, but this new screenshot taken after installation shows that there is still room for five more:
Another year! Five mysterious characters in the popular Nintendo first-party game! You know what that means, everyone. It means it’s time speculate.
Although the previous series preferred to keep things in the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario Kart 8 Updates have gradually introduced characters from other Nintendo franchises, from Zelda ARRIVE splash gun. Which means these five characters can, in truth Smash Bros. fashion, come from any where.
G/O Media can receive commission
Perhaps it will be a newcomer, but to be expected. Samus is an obvious choice here, especially as a car based on her ship would be such an obvious combination (and a Metroid-of course themed will also kick ass).
Maybe it will be another character available. There’s a lot of Mario here…is there room for the Second Link? ONE Awaken the wind Links, perhaps? If it’s good enough for Super Smash Bros. Finalit’s good enough for mario kart 8.
However, it could be someone else. After all, Nintendo has a long history. It’s a bit odd that the characters from F-Zeroa Nintendo series about racing cars, not here in mario kart 8, a Nintendo game about racing cars. Captain Falcon will be joining soon, especially since there’s already a F-Zero course (and vehicle!) in the game.
Maybe it’s time for some Pikmin? punch out? To be Arm an overly vague reference to 2023? Perhaps space is being left for movie versions of some famous mario figure?
Maybe you should take over now. Speculation regarding Nintendo is hard work.
UPDATE: This can help narrow it down. Nintendo said in a press release accompanying today’s DLC that “The next two batches of DLC are still coming, including many returning courses and characters in the Mario Kart series.”
“Character Returns” definitely removes some of the mythical hints above! And leave us with abilities like Petey Piranha and…Wiggler?
