Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - Nintendo Switch

It does seem less daunting to ride on the edge of a track as it is almost impossible to fall or lose ground. The danger of that made it somehow more exciting.

We loved this game on the Wii when we had it a while ago but this version is so much more fun. Only one in my family really loves video games but he can get us all to stop for a bit to play this game.

Beautiful game!

The game went over very well and can network with the full size Switch for game play. What I was less excited about was having to secure a separate process to actually network the system so my two children can play from the different devices.

A very good port/update of Mario Kart 8 and all of its DLC. Looks great in 1080p, and the new auto-accelerate option saves my right thumb from some pain. The new guidance option also makes it possible for my daughters (2 and 5) to play alongside me, and they have a lot of fun being able to race and throw items around without falling off the track all of the time. In addition, since the Switchs JoyCon use joysticks instead of d-pads, I can stop using motion controls for steering across the board, which I had to pick up for Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 8, due to the controller types that I had available. This is just a preference, though, as the motion controls are reliable for this game, as well.

I love the graphics and the game is fun!

Wii U owners might remember that the original Mario Kart 8 was released for that home console back in 2014. Three years later, and we now have Mario Kart Deluxe, a way for Nintendo to capitalize on their huge Mario Kart fan-base without dedicating too much time and money into producing the 9th iteration of the franchise this early into the Nintendo Switchs lifespan. For the most part, Deluxe is identical to the original MK8, with a couple new features included to give players a reason to pay full price again for what is essentially the same game. These include additional Battle Modes, some new tracks, characters and vehicles, all the DLC from the original Wii U version, and some refinements to online multiplayer (such as being able to change vehicles and characters without leaving the online multiplayer lobby). Of course, the main draw to getting Deluxe is being able to play Mario Kart 8 on a handheld device, which for all intents and purposes has now eliminated the reason for players to still be using Mario Kart 7 for the 3DS. However, the real question is if all these minor enhancements are enough to make MK8 players spend full price again on what is essentially the same game. The answer to that is two-fold. For people who still own a Wii U system and the original Mario Kart 8, I would not recommend getting Deluxe. However, if youre planning on selling your Wii U and upgrading to the Nintendo Switch, or you never bought a Wii U in the first place, then yes, I would recommend getting Deluxe, as it will probably be several more years before we see a true Mario Kart 9 sequel.

Theres not much progression in the game. It gives you an the tracks upfront, and basically ask there is to do is free play. I have a hard time putting time into playing when theres nothing to strive to complete.

I know I am just a stranger in the Internet but please hear me out, if you are thinking of buying this game please stop AND JUST BUY IT! This game is so good and perfect so many game modes to explore it’s just fantastic please BUY IT NOW!!
