Great game great content, has lots of characters and fun tracks

My 6 year old has been playing this since he was 4. He loves this game.

It’s definitely a must have! I remember playing it on SNES for the first time, when it came out on Nintendo 64 I thought that nothing could ever be this great, boy was I wrong! Mario Kart is constantly evolving and gets better every time! The fun never ends! This is the ultimate party game!

Awesone game, best Mario Kart yet! Great on the go w/ the Switch!

This Mario Kart is a lot of fun...great graphics and race tracks!

Great fun for the entire family! Whether you’re an OG mariokart64 lover or are new to the series this is a great arcade racing game. I love the drift boost feature it makes the game challenging. 50-200CC options cater to new players and players that want to get pushed to the limit!

I was a fan of Mario Kart 8 for the Wii U, it was pretty much the only game I played on the system until I sold it off. Nintendo has another hit on their hands with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Not only does it have better graphics than the Wii U version but it's smoother (I experienced some frame rate drops on the Wii U) but there are new tracks and the smart steering feature makes it so kids and inexperienced players can have fun. There are more characters this time around (every DLC character for the Wii U version is included with the Switch edition), three new vehicles, you can carry two items at once, and the game runs smoothly at 1080p when using the dock. You can play locally with up to 4 people and there's support for up to 12 people online. I've played in my office with four people and it was a fun experience. The Switch's display was a little hard to crowd around but it was still fun. Anyone with a Switch should get this game, it is the second definitive title that every Switch owner should have. It's fun, the graphics are great, and everything has been unlocked from the Wii U version. If you haven't picked this game up by now, do yourself a favor and buy it. It's a great party game and the best entry in the Mario Kart franchise.

What can be said, it is fun. It is easy to pick for all ages

Although this version is pretty identical to the Wii U version, it adds a lot of little nice changes that I feel that are worth purchasing if you had previously owned this game. You had the addition of a few new racers, the change in gameplay by allowing the player to hold two items at once, the Boo item making its return from MK64, the addition of smart steering and auto accleration to allow newcomers to play with series veterans, a solid 60FPS as opposed to the 59FPS on the WiiU, 1080p HD graphics when the console is docked/ 720p HD when the console is undocked as opposed to the native 720p HD on the WiiU, and of course the big addition, a much needed fixed up battle mode with 5 new courses and 3 retro courses with 5 different modes: Classic Battle, Bob-Omb Battle, Shine Thief, Coin Runners, and Renegade Round-up (essentially cops and robbers). I can't say if this buy is for everyone because I know people see it as buying the same game again, but I feel personally it has added enough to make it worth buying and it definitely stands out as the definitive version of this game. And for anyone who has yet to own this game in any form, I'd highly, highly recommend buying as this is easily one of the best Mario Karts Nintendo has put out.

Definitely one of the first games to buy with the Nintendo Switch. Since the Switch comes with two JoyCons, you can automatically have two players with the game. Excellent controls and has replayability with the different stages, customization of characters, unlockable characters, customization of vehicles, and fun multiplayer game scenarios.

Great graphics and fun for the family. Easy to play as well

The controls are small but so much fun for my family and friends!

Fun exciting great game play and easy to pick up fun multi player

Just like the old ones super fun for the parents and kids or even when you have friends over.

Great game, a lot of fun characters and courses to play.

Love playing this game with my daughter. Very easy

mario cart for nintendo switch great for the kids and after watching the movie is even better to see the karts again great to play with the karts that they watch in the movies

Our 12 year old grandson was getting a Switch for Christmas. We found out at the last minute. Only store that had one available was Best Buy. I ordered online and went down and picked it up 2 hours later. Our grandson loved it and all of us are playing it from 12 to 78 years old. It is a fun game and keeps you on your toes.

This is a great rerelease of Mario kart 8. It has all the features from the Wii U and more. The extra, much needed battle modes are amazing. The online is a little rough at times but Bering able to play on the go is great. If you owned this for the Wii U and now own a switch I would highly recommend this if you don't mind the full price tag still.

I’m really impressed in the way Nintendo hasn’t dramatically changed the gameplay in MarioKart over the year A-Z it’s nice to see a company recognize something is great the way it is and not try to change it for change sake.(I’m looking at you, COD) Really a blast to play!
