Mario Kart 8 is Getting a New Difficulty Level
Fans of Mario Kart 8 are going to get a new, harder level of difficulty. Right now, and since the beginning of the game, the Nintendo game had three modes: 50cc, 100cc and 150cc. This week we learned that we’re getting an update that will add a 200cc mode. This is going to be a tough one, so it’s time to start practicing your driving skills.
