More Splatoon 2 And Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Updates On The Way
In a small clip posted by Nintendo, general manager of software Shinya Takahashi answered some questions about Switch games like Splatoon 2 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
Within the context of Mario Kart 8's recent Labo update, which allows players to use the Labo bike handlebars for the game, Takahashi says to expect more Mario Kart 8 updates incoming. It's not clear if he means more Labo-like things or new content like tracks and characters, but it doesn't seem like the Deluxe version is done quite yet.
Additionally, Splatoon 2 will be getting more updates until December. Takahashi didn't say that's when the game would be done with free updates forever, but considering it's a year and a half after release, it would make sense that it ends at some point.
