However, Nintendo’s most recent Mario Kart update does not address MK8. Rather, it’s for its predecessor - the 3DS’s Mario Kart 7. This update - or, to give it its official name, the version 1.2 update - is the first update that this game has received in a little over 10 years. Here are the full notes from Nintendo - “Several issues have been addressed to improve the gameplay experience”. And that is your lot, although as pointed out by serial Nintendo code-scourer OatmealDome this update also likely addressed the same security bugs as other Nintendo games which received unexpected updates last month. As for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, its most recent update saw the arrival of its third wave of DLC courses and the option to customise items - something Ed feels is the best thing to happen to Mario Kart 8. Meanwhile, I am rooting for a Mario Maker style cup creator to make its way to the series. That would be a lot of fun!
