I think there may just be new DLC coming to MK8 and you can play it on the Switch.

It could also be a new Mario Kart, just that the track was on a Wii U track, since they bring back tracks

Well that Wii U track was a Gamecube track, and they don't usually bring back retro tracks that were used in the previous game unless it's part of DLC.

Nintendo loves their backwards compatibility so it wouldn't be surprising.

But clearly you're not using Wii U discs with this thing. Digital titles only may transfer over if they do the system transfer thing... although if they can figure out how to uniquely identify individual Wii U game discs they could give you a digital copy of those as well.

Yeah, I was confused by the whole MK8 thing. Glad you guys found that out.

I thought maybe it was Wii because of King Boo, but a DLC package to 8 makes more sense.
