Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 1 Timed Release, In Australia
We don’t know why, but Nintendo has refused to confirm release dates for the digital versions of the game and the DLC. Above most of occasion The game landed at midnight local time, but sometimes it didn’t, so we had to resort to testing the Switch at night and getting through our weary fingers.
That is the case of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass, with Wave 1 landing on March 18 at some points. GoNintendo discovered an actual confirmation time through Reddithowever, found on Australian product page.
According to that page, it will come 10 am AEDT on March 18, making it a merry morning. As for how that time converts to other territories, that is midnight CET on March 18th, that is 4pm Pacific / 7pm Eastern / 11pm UK today (March 17).
The reality is that it’s clearly not a midnight launch everywhere (where Australia will get its usual start) and the MK8 Deluxe has a server maintenance today (1pm UK time). UK for an hour), suggesting this could be the time to roll out. That said, the US Nintendo store page still says it’s out March 18so it can go either way.
However, if you are in Australia, now you know!
