Today also sees the release of a previously announced bit of free promotional DLC for Mario Kart 8, which adds Mercedes-Benz cars to the roster of cartoony karts. 3DS games including Fire Emblem Awakening and Art Academy: Lessons for Everyone have also included paid downloadable additions. The company released the New Super Luigi U level pack as DLC for New Super Mario Bros. Nintendo has been slower than most developers to embrace downloadable content, but seems to be slowly shrugging off its reluctance on the Wii U. DLC owners will be able to play as Link from The Legend of Zelda, the Villager and Isabelle from Animal Crossing, and race in a kart inspired by the Blue Falcon hovercraft from F-Zero. The packs also represent the first major crossover content from Nintendo's other franchises to appear in the Mario Kart series. Players that buy both packs will also gain immediate access to eight new color schemes for Yoshi and Shy Guy. Each one contains eight new tracks, four new vehicles, and three new playable characters. The packs will be available for pre-purchase starting today at $8 separately or together for $12. Players eager for new Mario Kart content won't have to wait for an entirely new game on an entirely new system this time around: Nintendo today announced the first paid downloadable expansion for a Mario Kart title, in the form of two Mario Kart 8 DLC packs planned for November of this year and May 2015.
