User blog:CompliensCreator00/Mario Kart 8 News - Upcoming DLC

Yep, Mario Kart 8 is getting more DLC, and that means we're getting new tracks, new characters, and new kart parts. Each pack is going to have 3 new characters, 4 new karts, and 8 courses in two cups.

The Legend of Zelda X Mario Kart 8
Yep, they are crossover packs, and this one features characters from the Zelda franchise!



This image confirms Link, from the Legend of Zelda, as well as Tanooki Mario and Cat Peach. We also see three new courses, being an F-Zero inspired course, an Excitebikes inspired course, and Wario's Gold Mine, returning from Mario Kart Wii. We also see the Blue Falcon as a kart part, also returning from Wii, but like a billion times more stylish this time.

Animal Crossing X Mario Kart 8
And this one has Animal Crossing characters!



In this pack we see Villager and Isabelle from Animal Crossing, as well as Dry Bowser. In courses, we see and Animal Crossing course where you drive through a town, and some cavern course. (If this is a returning course, please tell me, I can't identify it as anything from a past game.) No new karts are seen in the screenshot, but we can expect them.

More Characters (but these ones are more generic)
For purchasing either of the DLC packs, you get 8 coloured Yoshis and 8 coloured Shy Guys which can be used right away!

Release Dates
The Legend of Zelda X Mario Kart 8 is coming out in November this year, while Animal Crossing X Mario Kart 8 comes out May 2015. As more info is revealed, I will post it on this blog, so stay tuned!
