Mario Kart 8 DLC coming early, plus new speed class
Mario Kart 8 is getting its next DLC earlier than expected, alongside a free update that will ramp up the speed considerably.
Today during the Nintendo Direct presentation, the company made a few announcements regarding updates to Mario Kart 8. The second of two planned DLC packs, originally slated for May, is now coming April 23. As previously announced, it will feature Isabelle, Villager, and Dry Bowser. The presentation also gave a first glimpse of the Animal Crossing track, which changes seasons each time you play it.
Alongside the new tracks, a free update will add a new 200cc class. The super-fast speed will apply to all of the new tracks, along with previous ones. Plus, new Amiibo suits will be available for your Mii, based on characters like Mega Man, Sonic, Pac-Man, and Captain Olimar.

It's not April 1st in Japan.

I think it was pretty brilliant, actually. Most companies don't hold real announcements on April 1, so they wouldn't have any competition. And by holding it later in the afternoon, they assured the April Fools jokes would've run their course and writers (like us) would be kind of bored of the lack of actual news to write about.
