Mario Kart 8 maintenance is taking place tomorrow (starting very late tonight if you’re on the West Coast), which likely paves the way for the racer’s impending update.
Here’s the complete rundown of maintenance times for each major territory:
a) Europe : 8.50AM to 10AM
b) UK : 7.50AM to 9AM
c) USA (East Coast) : 2.50AM to 4AM
d) USA (West Coast) : 11.50PM to 1AM (Tuesday > Wednesday)
e) Japan : 3.50PM to 5PM
It’s expected that the update will be available shortly after tomorrow’s maintenance period.
Indie platformer The Fall launches today, August 26, for the North American eshop priced at $9.99. No date yet on when it will arrive in Europe, but developer Over the Moon says a date for European Wii U owners will be coming soon. Originally a Kickstarter, The Fall released on PC in May to overwhelming praise, looking forward to seeing the results on the Wii U.
