Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - Nintendo Switch

If you played Mario Kart 8 for Wii U, then you know that this is the best racing game on the series. With brilliant graphics, endless kart customizations, and numerous old and new courses to choose from, this is a no-brainer for the Switch. Since it is the Deluxe version, all of the DLC characters and cups are included leaving you only with kart customizations to unlock. That is very generous and makes it easy to just turn on and play from the get go. The new and old Battle modes were missing from the Wii U version and definitely bring new excitement to the multiplayer experience. I would comment on the Switch to Switch LAN type plan, but I dont know anyone else with a Switch. Regardless, this is a must have multiplayer game for your console.

Really great gaming experience. Smooth as butter, great music, fun sound effects, very immersive. Weve come a long way from Kart 64. I havent really played much video games since the N64 (skipped both the Wii and WiiU, so I kinda feel like an old man jumping back into the World of Nintendo). Its made me feel like a kid again, and with how much stress Ive been under these last few years with my health... thats a pretty big deal to me. Thank you, Nintendo. You guys are still making quality gaming experiences, and now I get to share it with my niece and nephews, which makes it 100x better. Take care. -Ken Jones, OKC, OK

My nephew enjoys this game

Its not cool that Nintendo like the other systems makes you pay extra to have all of the maps but its super fun to play and the kids love it

Mario Kart is always a classic that I love. Fell in love with the original Wii version and this one is much better. Some of the maps youll recognize but many have new twists and there are new maps to race. I love the battle games as well. (Balloon Battle is my personal favorite) Switching to two or more player mode is easy. (When you first try two player, for some reason the settings will be all turned on such as the safer driving mode, so drifts dont work as well, and the players kart will always be hitting the gas, and in battle mode thats not convenient so make sure you turn those settings off). And online playing is a welcome addition. You can choose between regional and world. There isnt a Grand Prix in the online racing, just one race at a time. And playing Battle online, theres just one round at a time, no 4 rounds and then a winner is decided. Also theres no picking which battle game you want to play, it just cycles through the five. At first I didnt like it but it forced me to get better at games I didnt really play often. In the online playing there is a personal point system. You start out with 1,000 points and depending how you rank each round, you can either earn or lose points. (Got down to 988 and back up to 1250). While the console comes with two controllers, I find myself considering buying another set because I dont like the feel of playing with one controller, as its so small. Also I keep tilt controls off cause I find it makes me lose control. All in all, a main staple to my gaming life.

Love the game and great way for family and friends to enjoy!

Difficulty levels for all ages & skill levels. Fun for the whole family.

A game that brought back so many childhood memories. Nowadays I dont have much time to enjoy and play games like when I was a kid but since I have gotten this game I have had a blast playing it with my little brother. Also the story mode was a blast

Love this game so much, great levels and graphics. Bought this for my brother for Christmas, and it has quickly turned into a family favorite

Lots of fun
