The Legend of Zelda and Animal Crossing join Mario Kart 8

Two new DLC packs confirmed.

Nintendo officially announced the two DLC packs, that expand Mario Kart 8 in November this year and May next year. Each Add On Content pack will contain two new cups, each with four courses. They include classics like Wario's Gold Mine from Mario Kart Wii, as well as new courses, some taking place in the worlds of The Legend of Zelda and Animal Crossing. New vehicles will also arrive with each pack, including the Blue Falcon kart representing the F-Zero franchise.
