Forums - Nintendo Discussion - 1.1 Update for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Released

Today, Nintendo issued a new update for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Players can now download version 1.1.

Surprisingly, there are actual patch notes to go along with today’s update. Nintendo highlights the following:

  • Invincibility period after a spin-out or crash is longer in online matches.
  • Up to two players can spectate a friend group while they wait to join.
  • “Worldwide” and “Regional” modes add players to Mirror and 200cc matches less often.
  • Can now properly create a friend lobby when you have 100 or more friends.
  • Inkling Girl’s animation has been adjusted.
  • Starting positions in online races now properly reflect the order in which players join.
  • Driver Miis now properly showing facial expressions.
  • Tournament clock now properly reflects real-world time.

Nintendo having patch notes!?

Something is going on



So, they changed the Inkling Girl's animation to avoid offending people I imagine.



Hahahaha at the 'up yours' by Inkling girl.

Ah yeah I see that now, just thought she had a proper hench arm or something... Inkling Girl been hitting the gym, lol.

Yeah, so I guess they thought that the "up yours!" gesture was a little inappropriate!



As far as I'm concerned, the new arm gesture will now mean 'up yours' to me forever and ever. You can't take this from us Nintendo!
