Okay, I’m officially in shock now. The official Nintendo UK store, has listing for DLC based on Animal Crossing New Leaf and the Legend of Zelda series. As in, Animal Crossing and Zelda characters in Mario Kart 8. No, this is not a drill. I’m not making it up folks, and it’s not a rumour I’ve taken from the internet. This is official. Behold:

Yes, that’s Link from A Link Between Worlds riding a motorbike, as well as both the villager and that assistant character from Animal Crossing, in Mario Kart 8. And in addition to that:

Tanooki Mario, Cat Peach and Dry Bowser are also new playable characters, And wait, what’s this?

Each pack comes with eight new race courses! So for buying these, you’re getting basically a whole new Mario Kart bolted onto the existing one! Epic win or what?

If you need proof, well, here are the links on the official store:

This is being listed directly on the official Nintendo store. Yes it’s not shown on the home page, but it actually exists on Nintendo’s servers. Nintendo Kart is officially coming, and it will be awesome!

What do you think about Mario Kart 8’s awesome new DLC? That’s coming in 2015?
