An interesting new image for the Mario Kart 8 character selection screen has today surfaced, and it suggests that five new characters — including Diddy Kong, Birdo, and Kamek — will be made available via DLC (downloadable content) in the near future. (Click the image above for a full view.)
Professor E. Gadd, from Luigi’s Mansion
Birdo, from the Super Mario series
Plessie, from Super Mario 3D World
Diddy Kong, from the Donkey Kong Country
Kamek, from the Super Mario series
Counting on older bro succumbing to his children's screams for MK8. Then we'll wait til they go to bed and play for hours just like last time with MKW.
I have a Xbox One, but I'm so tempted to get a Wii U... maybe I'll wait for Smash Bros to come out too. So I'll have two flawless games to play. And Nintendo better announce a Star Fox tomorrow, so it could up the entity.
Technically the character select screen wasn't disproven (yet).
I won't get my hopes up but it looks very well made and a bit too good to be faked I can't find those head shapes easily on google images. They even made the box bigger.
I want the rumors to be true just for Birdo Plessie would be a mess though. Do they know how big he is? He would not fit in a cart It's a much better idea to have a new course where at some point you ride on top of him through a water part or something.
