Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Mario Kart 8 Amiibo features revealed, update coming next week

Nintendo has updated the official Mario Kart 8 website with first details regarding the game’s amiibo functionality.

According to the site, players will be able to dress their Mii characters in racing suits based on the different looks of the amiibo characters. The feature will be possible with an update scheduled to be released November 13 – next Thursday.

The Mario Kart 8 amiibo page seems to be a bit broken at the moment, so it’s possible that this information wasn’t intended to be revealed just yet. Maybe we’ll see an official announcement during tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct!

These Amiibos will work with MK8:

Mario
Luigi
Yoshi
Peach
Donkey Kong
Link
Kirby
Captain Falcon
Samus
Fox McCloud

That's everyone except the villager and Marth!

Could that also be when the DLC is released?

I think that the DLC will be announced tomorrow and that the update will coincide with the DLC.



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.

DLC's been slated for 'late November' when I searched for it.

I'll have to wait until 5th Dec. for SSB4 Amiibo edition before I can use MK8 features (I'm in Europe).

Update is not the same as DLC.
