Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - Nintendo Switch

She loved it

If you have the Wii U version and are on the edge about repurchasing, Ill give you my two cents. First off the mobile application should speak for itself. Also the game does look remastered very well with a lot higher contrasts and great colors. All the characters are unlocked and all DLC from Wii U is included. I wasnt really digging buying it until I played it for around 30 mins. It sold me on why the switch is going to be a great console. Great graphics and great game. Hope this helps.

Good

This is the same Mario Kart that was on WiiU with the added luxury of all DLC and all characters (with the addition of a couple more) and the new battle mode. Its an awesome package that is well worth the price of admission if you own a Switch (actually, its a must have). I really can say nothing bad about the game. Its Mario Kart, and I feel its the best MK to this day. Love it. On the downside, I did order this Prime, and thought Id have it the day it was released, but no. I received this the day after it was released. Kind of a bummer when you go into a store and its sitting on the shelf and you realize that yours is still on a truck somewhere between my house and some place in California. Its not a huge deal, but when you read that if you preorder that youll get it the day of release, and then you dont, its kind of a let down and you start to think differently when maybe preordering from them again.

Listen, if youve ever played a Mario Kart game then you know what youre getting into. Its Mario Kart, but it looks better than ever. It includes the 4 cups from the original games DLC, bringing the total tracks available to 48. Nintendo is also releasing a $25 DLC that is adding an additional 48 tracks, doubling the base games size. Its a bargain. If you enjoyed unlocking characters, I have some bad news for you--theyre all unlocked from the start. The only secret character is Gold Mario, which you can get from getting a gold trophy in all the 200cc grand prix. And the 200cc is available right when you boot up the game for the first time. Kind of a letdown if you like unlockables. Kart options unlock as you collect more coins through gameplay. This maxes at 5000 coins and gives you a golden glider. If you beat the 150cc and Mirror Mode (available as soon as you boot up the game for the first time) you get a golden kart. If you beat the staff ghosts in the 150cc time trials you get golden wheels. I was skeptical at first, but listen... its Mario Kart. Its just fun. You wont regret buying it.

So much fun and insanely nostalgic. They did a great job reimagining all the old Mario Kart games we grew up with and love. There are so many hours of gameplay for by yourself or with friends!

The game runs at a consistent 60 fps and looks beautiful. However Mario Kart 8 Deluxe doesnt offer anything new other than the 2 Splatoon characters, a couple of new karts and some new battle arenas and a 2 new battle modes being renegade mode and a capture the flag type of mode. Everything else just returning features, characters and abilities from older Mario Kart games. All in all unless if youre a die hard fan of battle mode such as myself or you dont already have a Wii U then theres no point in buying Mario Kart 8 twice.

Fun with friends, no friends is “meh” for me. Playing online either works half of the time or the other half it doesn’t work. Thought it was my internet at first, but later found out it was nintendo’s online service not being the greatest. Overall, a fun game to play and it’s nostalgic since mario kart has been a game I’ve played growing up. Definitely try to get it when it goes on sale.

Miss playing Mario Kart from the old system Snes

One of my specialties is playing Mario Kart. Ive been playing most of my life, and this game already looked good even though I originally had it on the Wii U. It is still worth it, but that is what I think. Others might not. If you like, or even love Nintendo products, this is the game for you. If youre just now trying out games, still is a pretty good pick to buy. If you do not like the racing and competitive genres of games, then maybe do not buy this. Overall, multiplayer is fun, online is fun, and I have been playin since I got it!
