Here at Eurogamer, we’re still reeling from Wednesday night’s Nintendo Direct.
Sure, there was Pikmin 4. Metroid Prime, pffft. I heard some guy called Link was there?
But the most important announcement was of course, the one, the only, Birdo. Specifically, multi-coloured Birdos playable in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
Sneakily tucked away in the extensive press release from the Direct is the following line: “Returning characters from the Mario Kart series will be added in future waves.” Which begs the question, who else would we like to see added as a racer in Mario Kart 8? We’re not talking just the roster of all previous Mario Kart games. No, I know we can go bigger than that.
