Nintendo has a pretty good deal on Mario Kart 8 right now. The publisher is offering a bundle with Mario Kart 8, a Wiimote Plus, and the Wii Wheel, all for $60. Granted, the listing says it’s “refurbished”, but the game is new. As with all refurbished Nintendo products, they include a standard 12-month warranty. You can find the deal here.
Nintendo is gearing up to release the second Mario Kart 8 DLC soon, called DLC Pack 2. The pack includes new characters (Villager, Isabelle, Dry Bowser), new vehicles (Bone Rattler, City Tripper, Streetle, P-Wing), and new courses (Animal Crossing, Big Blue, Super Bell Subway, Wild Woods, Baby Park, Cheese Land, Koopa City, and Ribbon Road).
In all, the Mario Kart DLC Pack 2 has plenty of content — 3 new characters, four new vehicles, and 8 new maps. The DLC Pack 2 will cost $8 on the Wii U eShop. If you haven’t gotten the first pack, you’ll be able to get them both for $12.
With the DLC, Nintendo will also release a Mario Kart 8 update that unlocks the 200cc class, which will be available to all players, regardless if they purchase the DLC or not. You can check out a video of the new 200cc class to see just how much faster it is.
The Mario Kart 8 DLC Pack 2 (and the game update with the 200cc class) will be available on April 23. You can check out a trailer for the new content below:
