Nintendo’s handling of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the Switch has been curious so far. The game was available on the Switch very shortly after the system’s launch, and it as since managed to sell like brand new title in the series would, with its total sell through even surpassing that of the original Mario Kart 8 on Wii U.
Given the success the game had, you would think Nintendo would support the game with new content and updates, keeping it an ongoing service like Splatoon 2 has been. But, other than an update adding video recording support, and another that added Labo support, things have been very quiet on the Mario Kart front- not that that has hurt the sales of the game.
That said, Nintendo isn’t done with the title, in spite of what you might think. Nintendo’s Shinya Takahashi confirmed in a new video, which you can see below, that Nintendo will continue to push updates for the game going forward- I just hope that said updates include new content, too. The DLC for the original Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U was amazing, and I just want more of that, please.
