Thank goodness it's not more Mercedes. Nintendo has announced a fairly large DLC drop for Mario Kart 8. Over the next year, the DLC will bring six new characters, eight new cars, and sixteen new courses. The new drivers announced are Tanooki Mario, Cat Peach, Link, Villager, Isabelle, and Dry Bowser.
Here is a snippet from Nintendo:

Each Add On Content pack will contain two new cups, each with four courses, which, in total, increases the number of available courses by 50 percent. The Add On Content packs include classics like Wario's Gold Mine from Mario Kart Wii, as well as new courses, some taking place in the worlds of The Legend of Zelda and Animal Crossing. New vehicles will also arrive with each pack, including the Blue Falcon kart representing the F-Zero franchise in the first AOC pack.
Mario Kart 8 Pack 1 - Released: November 2014
Pack 1 includes:
- 3 Characters: Tanooki Mario, Cat Peach, Link
- 4 Vehicles
- 8 Courses
Mario Kart 8 Pack 2 - Released: May 2015
Pack 2 includes:
- 3 Characters: Villager, Isabelle, Dry Bowser
- 4 Vehicles
- 8 Courses
As a bonus for purchasing both packs - as a bundle or separately - you can get eight different-coloured Yoshis and eight different-coloured Shy Guys that can be used right away.
Nintendo has stated that the the DLC will cost $8 each if you buy them separately, $12 if you buy both at the same time. Pretty cheap considering what's being offered. You can check out more screens below.
