Some Nintendo fans are probably disappointed that the announcement wasn't Mario Kart 9, but 8 has been one of the bestselling Switch games of all time, so it's not surprising that a new game isn't coming out just yet. Nintendo revealed during its February 2022 Direct that Mario Kart 8 will be receiving a huge DLC update with the Booster Course Pass. And while you might be thinking it's time to hang up those racing gloves until the next instalment, there's a new good reason why it'll be worth taking Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for another spin. Where has that time gone? If you've been playing it since the early days, you've probably raced on every track and won just about every cup numerous times over by now.

Mario Kart 8 came out on Wii U all the way back in 2014 and re-launched almost five years ago on Nintendo Switch.
