A patch is FINALLY coming to Mario Kart 8 that fixes some things and adds a few new features! It comes out August 27th unfortunately.
- map display on the TV screen
- 3 free Mercedes-Benz karts: GLA, W25 Silver Arrow, 300 SL Roadster
- records screen w/ total coins, online win-loss record, character selection rates, etc.
- improved online stability
- default menu selection following GP changing to next race
- last used kart customization added to save
- edit others' highlights

I'm so glad this patch is coming. There was no reason to remove the TV map, I've always been annoyed that I couldn't check my total coin amount, and I do want to see my win-loss record...should be interesting. Being able to save your last kart is necessary, so I'm glad they're adding that too. And hopefully "improved online stability" means NO MORE DISCONNECTIONS. Seriously, it's rare when I get to play over 5 tracks with the same group of people...
