Can confirm, update went up at midnight in...some time zone. Downloading it now.
I was installing it this morning so I could come home and play it later...and I downloaded the update, assuming that was all I needed. It had an ETA of 14 minutes, so yeah - it could have been the update AND the DLC. It sped up somehow from 14 minutes to 2 minutes in a matter of seconds, so I was pretty excited
But nope, they're separate. As soon as you get into the MarioKart 8 menu (which it's now 4.0 btw) it asks you if you'd like to download the DLC...which has an ETA of 14 minutes...and that number doesn't budge
...and then it has to install the damn update. argh
Welp, my amiibo are ready to go! Gonna scan the hell out of 'em.
EDIT: Download installed. This update is amazing.
The Villager now has the best horn in the game. It's tada.wav
But Isabelle's voice at the character select is really...weird. She lets out this weird...groaning bark of a sound. Ingame she sounds as cute as you'd expect a little dog secretary to sound, but it's just...really odd to pick her and she lets out an EUUURF
Also Villager amiibo unlocks a...weird costume. It's literally the same model as Fox's Mii Racer outfit, but the texture is different where there's little stitching-ears that pop out of the helmet (which has the same print as the Animal Crossing 3DSXL). But there's also a red scarf and a yellow jacket with the AC logo on it. It's...kind of a weird choice if you ask me.
