Mario Kart 8 Deluxe 3.0.4 update

Surprise: a new Mario Kart 8 Deluxe update just dropped with version 3.0.4.

Nintendo is looking to address a couple of issues with today’s patch. The first one involves the 3DS Music Park track in Time Trials and repeatedly opening and closing the pause menu. N64 Rainbow Road also received a fix. 

The full rundown of the update is as follows:

Nintendo Switch best DLC

As the Nintendo Switch’s long eight-year life span comes to a close, we’re taking the time to rank five of its very best DLC expansions. Nintendo released quite a few big DLC packs, which added tons of life and longevity to their respective titles. Most of these are fine additions, but some of them distinctly stand out among the rest as incredible additions to their respective base games.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe McDonald's Happy Meal

Nintendo has teamed up with McDonald’s a number of times previously, and that’s the case once again with new Mario Kart 8 Deluxe toys in Happy Meals.

Ten different toys are up for grabs. You’ve got Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong, Toad, Toadette, Bowser, Peach, Yoshi, Pink Gold Peach, and Gold Mario. The bases can actually be swapped, and karts can be customized with a sticker sheet.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Switch bundle 2024

There’s more news about upcoming bundles for Switch, as it’s just been announced that the system is being packaged together with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. A release is planned for this fall.

Bundles will be available for both the Switch OLED and regular Switch. We’ll also mention that a 12-month Nintendo Switch Online Individual Membership is included.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe update 3.0.3

Somewhat surprisingly, Nintendo just issued a new version 3.0.3 update for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. However, there isn’t really much here.

According to the official patch notes, we get the same line we’ve seen many times from Nintendo before about addressing issues. Specifics weren’t shared about what was actually addressed.

Here’s the official rundown of today’s update:

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe best-selling Nintendo game

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has taken the crown as Nintendo’s best-selling game ever.

As we found out earlier this week from the company’s financial results, the racer has sold 61.97 million units. The only title that technically sold more than that is Wii Sports at 82 million units. However, since that was a pack-in with Wii in some territories, it’s not quite the same.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe update 3.0.1

Following the final drop of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass, Nintendo has issued another update for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – now version 3.0.1.

The patch addresses a few issues that recently popped up. Get the full rundown below.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe sales Spain

The latest data out of Spain reveals that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is now the best-selling entry in the country.

Sales of the racer have topped 1.1 million copies in Spain. That means it surpassed Mario Kart Wii, the previous record holder.

mario kart 8 deluxe unlockables

To celebrate the recent launch of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC, we’ve put together a big list of all the unlockables it has to offer (which isn’t very many, but still). The game just wrapped up its Booster Course Pass, which brings its ten-year lifespan to a close… maybe. Despite its age, the title is still selling boatloads of copies, which means new players are discovering the game every day.
