As part of their Nintendo Direct, the publisher today confirmed that 200cc racing will be available in Mario Kart 8.

The super-fast racing mode will be available from 23 April as part of a free software update.

At the same presentation, new DLC was also announced for the game, including an Animal Crossing-themed track that will change seasons whenever you race on it.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.
