Most of us have probably settled in quite comfortably to Mario Kart 8 by now. After all, it has been out for almost nine years on the Wii U, while the Switch’s Deluxe edition has been around since 2017.\n<\/p>\n

However, Nintendo’s most recent Mario Kart update does not address MK8. Rather, it’s for its predecessor – the 3DS’s Mario Kart 7.\n<\/p>\n

This update – or, to give it its official name, the version 1.2 update – is the first update that this game has received in a little over 10 years. Here are the full notes from Nintendo – “Several issues have been addressed to improve the gameplay experience”.\n<\/p>\n

And that is your lot, although as pointed out by serial Nintendo code-scourer OatmealDome<\/a> this update also likely addressed the same security bugs as other Nintendo games which received unexpected updates last month.\n<\/p>\n

As for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, its most recent update saw the arrival of its third wave of DLC courses and the option to customise items – something Ed feels is the best thing to happen to Mario Kart 8.\n<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, I am rooting for a Mario Maker style cup creator to make its way to the series. That would be a lot of fun!\n<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
