Mario Kart 8 Deluxe features additional content over the Wii U release. But those hoping that the game will include new race tracks will be disappointed to hear that the amount remains the same.

During a stage show at Nintendo Switch Experience 2017, Nintendo confirmed that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe contains 48 tracks. That’s the same amount as the Wii U version (with the DLC courses included).

As far as what’s new, Nintendo revamped Mario Kart 8’s Battle Mode, and the game also features some new characters and vehicles. There’s also a new Smart Steering feature to make driving and staying on the track easy for novice players, returning items from past entries, and the ability to carry two items at once.

And an overview:

State of Mind is a futuristic thriller game delving into transhumanism. The game explores themes of separation, disjuncture and reunification, in a world that is torn between a dystopian material reality and a utopian virtual future.

Employing multiple playable characters and two separate game worlds, State of Mind explores the existential drama that develops in a society on the brink of post-material existence.

During yesterday’s Treehouse Live stream, Nintendo said that Switch will support microSDXC cards that hold up to 256 GB of data. That actually was incorrect. Nintendo now notes in an official statement that “Switch is compatible with the SDXC standard, which supports up to 2TB.”

2TB cards are not actually out on the market. However, Switch will support them when they are.

It’s worth noting that even 1TB SDXC cards are still awhile for most consumers, as they were just announced last September. 512GB is currently the largest available SDXC card.
