Mario Kart 8 DLC is announced that adds Link, F-Zero, and Animal Crossing to the Mario Kart races!

Huge new, Mario Kart fans!! Nintendo UK has just announced some huge DLC for Mario Kart 8! Until now only characters from the Mario franchise have raced in Mario Kart but all that is changing with the first two packs of DLC!

The first DLC pack will allow players to add on Link (The Legend of Zelda), cat-suit Peach, and tanooki-suit Mario as well as four new vehicles and eight new tracks. This DLC pack will be available this coming November. The second DLC pack will allow players to add on Villager (Animal Crossing), Isabelle (Animal Crossing: New Leaf), the Dry Bowser along with four new vehicles and eight new tracks. This second DLC pack will be available in May of 2015.
"Each Add On Content pack will contain two new cups, each with four courses, which, in total, increases the number of available courses by 50 percent," the site reads. "The Add On Content packs include classics like Wario's Gold Mine from Mario Kart Wii, as well as new courses, some taking place in the worlds of The Legend of Zelda and Animal Crossing. New vehicles will also arrive with each pack, including the Blue Falcon kart representing the F-Zero franchise in the first AOC pack."
Both of the DLC packs are listed for just £7. From the released photos we can see that one of the new karts will be Captain Falcon's racer, Blue Falcon, from the F-Zero franchise! There is also an incentive in place for purchasing both packs. If both packs are purchased you will have access to change the color of Yoshi and Shy Guy to eight new colors!

This is amazing news and I really hope these DLC packs are released world wide!
