Nintendo uploaded another video from Mario Kart 8 today. This time around, we get a look at the Mute City track with the 200cc class.

Check out the new video below.

Update: The dream seems to be dead (thanks EdLambdaTeos). This goes back as far as November of last year, with a GameFAQs member claiming to have found a file with similar contents as what’s posted below. The same user said last week that he made the whole thing up. Doh!

Mario Kart 8 has a file system with a listing of tracks and corresponding streaming audio. Following the release of the game’s first round of DLC, there were 8 tracks in the pack and 13 entries.

Here’s a listing of what we received from the initial batch of downloadable content:

GC_YOSHI_CIRCUIT = GCN Yoshi Circuit
SFC_RAINBOW_ROAD = SNES Rainbow Road
WII_WARIOSMINE = Wii Wario’s Gold Mine
WU_DRAGONROAD = Dragon Driftway
WU_EXCITEBIKE = Excitebike Arena
WU_HYRULE = Hyrule Circuit
WU_ICEPARK = Ice Ice Outpost
WU_MUTECITY = Mute City

These tracks were also included, but did not show up as DLC:

3DS_NEOBOWSERCITY = 3DS Neo Bowser City
GC_BABYPARK = GCN Baby Park
WU_ANIMAL = Animal Crossing
WU_METRO = ?
WU_WOODS = ?

Could these tracks be featured in the next wave of Mario Kart 8 DLC? This is complete speculation at the moment, but if it’s accurate, we could be seeing tracks like Neo Bowser City and Baby Park. People are also wondering if “Metro” could be implying “Metroid”, but I’m not too sure at the moment!

There are two big topics that receive the focus in this week’s Just a Chat: Level-5’s Vision event – which had plenty of 3DS announcements – and LEGO Dimensions. Aside from that, Daan and I discuss the latest Xenoblade Chronicles X presentation, lack of voice chat in Splatoon, and this week’s “Let’s Talk” topic.

Unity support for the New 3DS was just announced at the Unite 2015 Tokyo event in Japan. We don’t have any details just yet, but we’re trying to secure additional information!

Nintendo of America senior manager of marketing Damon Baker said last year that the company was “looking at” obtaining support for Unity on 3DS. There was some speculation that the engine was used for SpongeBob HeroPants, though nothing was ever confirmed.

Developers have been able to bring Unity-based games to Wii U since the console’s launch in 2012.

As part of today’s announcement for Project X Zone 2, Bandai Namco confirmed that the first game has sold over 400,000 units. That number likely accounts for sales across all regions. Project X Zone’s strong performance is likely the main reason why we’re getting the sequel!
