Possibly a Nintendo Direct soon showing off one course?

I'm sorry, I'm going to be a stick in the sand here as usual. But what the heck is with these random characters appearing in Mario Kart 8? They're "random" to me surely because I don't play other Nintendo games, but why are we bringing in characters from Smash and Animal Crossing or -insert game name here-, rather than focusing on adding some of the classic characters that people want to see from Mario Kart Wii? Exciting that it's coming though!

Dry Bowser is suppose to be joining along with these two characters as a retro.
I read an article long ago about how Miyamoto was choosing all these characters, and out of all things, I questioned "WELL IF MUTE CITY IN THIS GAME, WHERE'S CAPTAIN FALCON (the guy Mute City is from)"
But yeah, I suppose Nintendo all over
