Mario Kart 8 has just been confirmed for Nintendo Switch and will release in April.

All tracks from the Wii U version as well as DLC will be included.

Inkling Girl and Inkling Boy from Splatoon will be included as well as King Boo, Dry Bones and Bowser Junior.

The Battle Mode has also been revamped. Players can now carry two items at a time, including new items returning from previous Mario Kart games such as Boo (the item-stealing ghost) and the Feather, which gives players a high jump in Battle mode. Players can even choose to use a new Smart Steering feature, which makes driving and staying on the track easy for novice players and kids, even at 200cc. Play in TV mode in up to 1080p.
