Mario Kart 8 Deluxe adds eight remastered tracks on August 4.
After months and months of rumors about the possible announcement of Mario Kart 9, Nintendo surprised all gamers last February by announcing six waves of remastered tracks via DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which has turned out to be the most successful game in the saga and Nintendo Switch in general. The first one was launched last March and now the second has been announced for next August.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the definitive game
The arrival of Mario Kart 8 on Nintendo Switch made it the definitive game in the saga back in 2017 when it already added new tracks and characters from other sagas such as The Legend of Zelda or Splatoon. However, this pass of extra tracks, with 48 more circuits, has been the culmination that nobody expected for a game that will expand until the end of the year 2023when the last of the announced DLC arrives.
