Rumor: Specific tracks outed for future Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC in new datamine
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 0 comments
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe fans may have uncovered specific tracks that are planned as future DLC courses thanks to a new datamine.
In the latest update released for the game which brought about the second wave of courses in the Booster Course Pass, fans noticed that Nintendo left song prefetches to many future DLC courses. Nintendo deleted the full songs of unreleased tracks from the ROM, but accidentally left some of the prefetch files, which are stored separately. Music preview files are used since it can take some time to load a full music file from the ROM and this is played while the full file is being loaded, as pointed out by Twitter user OatmealDome.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Coconut Mall track updated to include moving cars
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
The first wave of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass DLC brought back Coconut Mall, but not without some controversy. In the original game on Wii, the cars that can be found towards the end of the lap moved and caused interference as another obstacle. However, in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, they were static and stayed in place.
Nintendo apparently heard the feedback and has implemented a change. As part of the latest update to the game, the cars that the Shy Guys are riding in in Wii Coconut Mall now move from time to time. The only exception is Time Trial mode.

Disney Speedstorm dev on what sets the game apart from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Disney Speedstorm will be appearing on Switch later this summer, but as a kart racer, it has fierce competition on the console as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has proven to be a juggernaut. That being said, the team at Gameloft believes there are enough differences between the games to make the Disney and Pixar racer stand out.
Gameloft Barcelona game manager Aska Suzuki spoke to us about a few aspects such as how there are four character classes in the game and everyone on the roster has specific power-ups. Of course, simply having Disney and Pixar representation is a straightforward but appealing aspect. Updates and season passes are also planned, so players can look forward to additional content to follow after launch with new racers and more.

Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 0 comments
A previous leak may give an idea about which platforms will be represented in future waves of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass DLC.
Back in March, after the debut of the first wave, Twitter user Fishguy6564 posted a video showing cups with potential prefixes. It seemed to suggest that Nintendo had already decided on the full lineup of tracks the game would be adding from prior titles. We still don’t have complete confirmation, but this week’s announcement of the second wave gives credence to the original speculation.
