New Mario Kart 8 DLC Arrives, Brings Two New Zelda Stamps, 200cc

We try to make a habit around here to not talk too much about games that aren’t related to the Zelda franchise, but we’re making a special case here not only because the new update today provides two new Zelda stamps, but because we host tournament streams regularly for this game and will be hosting our very first 200cc tournament next week! That being said, the latest Mario Kart DLC pack has arrived today along with the free 200cc update. While new stamps were always a given, we certainly didn’t expect two new Zelda related stamps, one being of Link and the other featuring the Hylian Crest.

A user at NeoGAF kindly summarized everything today and what is needed to achieve things:

• update required to download the second DLC pack
• 9 new Mii suits added: Wario, Pac-Man, Olimar, Bowser, Sonic, Toad, Villager, Rosalina and Mega Man
• 200cc class added, may need to be unlocked (Grand Prix: 150cc completed with gold trophy at least)
• added sparks effect when braking in 200cc class
• added braking on the Wii Remote by pressing the B, 1 and 2 buttons at the same time
• added ability to add CPU players for Online custom rules (only human players will be counted for scoring)
• press Minus to display the map on the TV screen with the Pro Controller, Classic Controller, Wii Remote + Nunchuk
• on the Animal Crossing circuit, seasons are not random when you play Time Attack (you only have Summer)
• 10 new stamps for Miiverse (Link, Isabelle, Animal Crossing tree, F-Zero logo, Bowser Clown jack-in-the-box, Hylian symbol, Animal Crossing house, Blue Falcon, Kung-Fu Lakitu, and the Neo Bowser City logo)
• various bug fixes

It should be noted the stamps are unlocked right away. Also while I can’t confirm 200cc is unlocked with 3 starring all tracks on 150cc, I can confirm because I haven’t yet done so on my game (I know, for shame right?) I can’t access 200cc, so I will be trying to unlock it later tonight! As for our next tournament and livestream event, expect this to occur next week on Thursday evening. I also plan to continue my The Minish Cap run this weekend, so stay tuned!
