Nintendo UK has uploaded a neat Mario Kart 8 video comparing the differences in speed between 150cc and 200cc engine classes. Announced earlier this week during a Nintendo Direct, the Wii U racing title will feature a brand new 200cc engine class for truly manic high-speed thrills. The video embedded above may just pop your head into a spin as it showcases Mario racing across Dolphin Shoals, with the 150cc on the left and the new higher speed class on the right.
The new engine class will arrive as part of a free downloadable update for those who own the game on April 23, alongside the Animal Crossing DLC pack. The earlier than expected DLC will bring new vehicles, including the Streetle and City Tripper, as well as two new cups and four playable characters with Isabelle, male and female Villager, and Dry Bowser. If you haven’t already done so, you can pre-purchase the Mario Kart 8 x Animal Crossing pack through the in-game shop or on the Nintendo eShop.

Can’t we just have F-Zero instead?
Wouldn’t kill them to put it in 60fps lol
I am assuming the video has been uploaded on the 1st of this month. If that’s not the case and if that’s 200 cc does not happen I won’t be surprise. I believe it when I see it.
It was in the Nintendo Direct and that ISN’T a joke. Besides, it aired in european countries besides the UK at April 2nd 0:00 and ran until 0:45 or so, so it wasn’t even April 1st to begin with ;)
well it’s all depend where you live when the direct was broadcast. Again let’s just wait and see.
Did you even watch the direct?
after I saw that’s news, still I don’t believe it’s real
well I downloaded the update, played the game and it’s real… I really thought it was an April’s fool.
So F Zero is pretty much dead with this.
F ZERO WASVDEAD YEARS AGO LET IT SLIDE NO ONE WANTS THOSE POD RACER TYPE GAMES
AND THE 200CC IS REAL THERES SOME REAL fuk tards in this world
Anyone got a Toy Hammer in Animal Crossing New Leaf I can get off them please? I’ve been trying to get one for ages but no luck :(
I hate hate hate hate HATE Dolphin Shoals.
Also, Piranha Plant Slide. Those two levels I find so frustrating.
Yeah, the two weakest by far. Slide only slightly better
*sigh* Am I the ONLY person on Earth who actually likes Dolphin Shoals?
And no, it’s not only because of the kickass music.
Great video, would be perfect with a timer at the bottom of the screen demonstrating the time difference!:)
Can they please update the Battle Mode or a DLC pack to fix it back to its original form?
That means races are gonna be way shorter online…
Holy shit-balls BRING IT ON
Waiting for the 4-speed video comparison. I’m with stupid posted above *troll bait* in saying that seeing this makes me wonder how 150cc even stacks up with the previous 2 speed classes, cause it looks crazy slow compared to 200cc now.
