For those in Europe/UK, the free Mercedes DLC car pack arrives on August 27th. A patch is also expected to arrive soon for all regions.
Quote:
Mario Kart 8's upcoming Mercedes-Benz DLC will be available in the UK from 27th August, Nintendo has announced.
The free add-on contains three cars - the previously-shown Mercedes-Benz GLA, plus the 1950s 300 SL Roadster and the 1930s Silver Arrow.
Nintendo is also taking the opportunity to bring some fan-requested tweaks to the game, such as the option to display course maps on your TV screen.
A new stats page will show you your total number of coins, your online win-loss record and your favourite racer.
Mario Kart 8 will now save your most-recent kart settings between play sessions - so there's no more setting up your racer every time you load the game.
The menu options for "Next Race" and "Watch Highlight Reel" will be switched - a much-requested change by fans - and you'll be able to alter options for other user's highlight reels to watch different characters or events.
Finally, online multiplayer stability will also be improved.
