Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - Nintendo Switch

My nephew enjoys this game

While I already played this game to death on the Wii U, having it in portable format is an amazing experience. Nintendo took the perfect Mario Kart game and added a great battle mode to it. This is as close to perfection a Mario Kart game can get. I do wish that Nintendo made it more affordable to play across multiple Switches without each child having to own their own copy of the game. It doesnt make sense for families to own multiple copies of the same game. On the 3DS, you could do this so this seems like a major step back especially given that a big selling point of the Switch is playing together.

The game is amazing, one if he beats mario Kart entries since the original. Be advised however, Amazon may send you a different Region copy of the game like they did for me. I am currently residing in the United States but they sent me the United Kingdom version instead. The game still works, the box art is different however. Did not ruin the experience of the game, just a little bummed I dont have the U.S. case like all my other Switch games.

Sorry for the all caps, I just love this game. I had always wanted Mario Kart 8, but sadly I never owned a Wii U. There is a very wide variety of tracks, being 48 in total (32 from the original game and 12 from the dlc). All the tracks are creative and have their perks, as with any Mario Kart game. BATTLE MODE IS BACK! There was a battle mode on Mario Kart 8, but it was famous for being lazy (It used race tracks from the game and only had balloon battles). This is all fixed in Deluxe, with eight dedicated battle courses and five battle modes, all of which are amazing. There are new/returning characters such as Bowser Jr., King Boo, and INKLINGS! Still no Birdo or Diddy Kong, though. The graphics are updated to 1080p and 60fps docked, from 720p and an odd 59fps on the Wii U. There are very few flaws, those being small things such as the coin item being too prominent or Pink Gold Peach being a character. This is the highest reviewed Mario Kart game to date, with the highest first day attach rate. It broke the first day sales record of Mario Kart Wii. This game is AMAZING! I didnt even mention double items! They are a game changer! It is very accessible for new players with options such as smart steering and auto acceleration. The only problem is that they are very easy to toggle on, so be careful. I would definitely recommend. 10/10!

There may not be a more unbalanced game that relys more heavily on luck than this it crazy! You can be really good and just get screwed over on the last lap! It makes this game soo frustrating! Now its not bad to have a frustrating game look at souls games, but in those you know why you died! In this its just luck. Games arent fun if luck can beat skill cuz then whats the point of getting better at it! It just gets worse everytime I play! I thought driving games were about skill not who can get lucky enough to not get blue shelled, red shelled, and green shelled on the last lap while in first to end up taking like 6th! Nintendo peaked at the 64! Play Mario cart 64 and see how much more balanced and actually fun and not rage inducing it is! Edit: Boy was I mad when I wrote this. Its Mario Kart, its great! Ive played this more than any other Mario Kart. Sometimes a deep breath goes a long ways.

new game. works great

We love Mario kart 8. Its fun for everyone in the family to play

I had never owned a Nintendo home console in my life, with the Switch being my first, but I had always been fond of all things Nintendo. I am so glad that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe came out soon after the Switch release because it really allowed me to embrace my life-long love for Mario games. This game IS SO MUCH FUN! My partner and I spent the entire release weekend racing and trying out all the courses. The graphics are beautiful, both on my TV and the actual Switch. Game controls are awesome and the new characters are definitely a fun addition (Im always King Boo). Definitely recommend as a staple for any Switch owner.

This is a great fun game! You can play it will family or friends or if your by yourself even! Showed up on time and in good shape!

Great game to play with others. Play with my son and daughter over the internet to staybin touch and have fun.
