Nintendo's Adding Link to Mario Kart 8

Two downloadable add-ons are being prepared, one of which won't arrive until May 2015!

Surprising just about no one, Nintendo has announced downloadable content for Mario Kart 8. Well, sort of. Nintendo UK's online store has accidentally spoiled the surprise of two add-ons being prepared for the racer.

Pack 1 arrives in November, which includes four vehicles, eight courses, and three characters (Tanooki Mario, Cat Peach, Link). Nintendo is finally including characters from non-Mario games. The UK website lists the DLC as £7.00, which roughly translates to $11.60.

Pack 2 arrives in May 2015. You actually did read that right. May 2015. That add-on includes four vehicles, eight courses, and another three characters (Villager, Isabelle, Dry Bowser). It costs the same price, and grabbing both packs unlocks a set of colored Yoshi and Shy Guy variants to play as.

I think it's time to just make this "Nintendo Kart" because if you look at the original roster, it is REALLY scraping the bottom of the barrel at this point.

BUT WHERE'S BIRDO?

Seriously though, more courses is FANTASTIC. I love this game, and I'd love more courses.

But also, where's Birdo?!
