Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - Nintendo Switch

This is a very, veeery fun game. If your looking for the most awsome multiplayer game ever, this is the one. The online can get very competative at times, buts the onlines pretty good, overall, the best online game too. Some people might say that super smash bros. Ultimate is the best online game, but it lags alot, mariokart 8 deluxe on the other hand runs very smoothely both in handheld mode, and playing online. Would very much reccomend this game.

been playing since it came out but lost my old cartridge, so i bought another one here and it works perfectly fine :) game is great i play for hours, super fun with friends

If youve played Mario Kart before, this is still a great title for the Nintendo Switch. The graphics have improved significantly over Mario Kart 7. All content is available from the beginning, which is great and terrible at the same time. The potential to unlock characters was a big part of the game for me, and I miss that from this release. You can unlock one character, Gold Mario which replaces Metal Mario but that is it. Theres a wide variety of maps available, most of them are stunning and very fun to play. Im disappointed with Battle mode, there is only a very small collection of maps available, and some are absolutely broken on certain mini-games like Renegade Round-Up where a match might last 19 seconds, even when playing against easy AI players just because theyre so small and there arent that many places to run around to. In Summary; Bring back the ability to unlock more than one character, and fix the major issues with your mini game offerings and its perfect.

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.

This game is great! Feels just like the Mario Kart games. The only reason I gave it 4 starts instead of 5 is because I’m not a fan of them adding non-Mario characters to the game like Link and Inkling. Before too long this will be a Smash Bros type game, which I think would take away from the nostalgia.

Bought this for my grandson for Christmas after he misplaced his.

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.

Love the game. definitely worth buying for friends and family to play.

This is the third version of Mario Cart 8 that Ive owned. It just gets better with each release. More tracks! So many great environments. This is my favorite racing game both in one and multi player games.

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.
