Fun for friends and family, easy to play, and always fun our kids lost our other one just bought replacement lol

I don't like playing the original on N64 - sue me. It controls like a lead balloon and didn't age well, and the nostalgia isn't enough for me to truly enjoy playing it. If I needed a fix, Double Dash was modern enough to do the trick for me. I just recently bought a Switch solely for this and Zelda...and maybe a little for the gimmicky but fun 1 2 Switch. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe alone is worth picking up the console. Take the plunge, and enjoy it with your friends! More video game news and reviews on the 2v1 Podcast on iTunes

Mario Kart 8 was already the best game from the franchise up to date. Even though it is a Wii U game that was ported to the Nintendo Switch system, it brings new characters, new battle modes, and of course, portability. The fact that you can play this, with a friend (without even having to buy a second controller or set of joycons) and on the go, is great, And if you hadn't tried Mario Kart 8 before (lots of people didn't get a Wii U) prepare to be amazed. Graphics, soundtrack, characters, tracks and even the special items!

Doesn’t quite have the old school vibe as the old Mario cards but if you like racing in weird zero gravity like maps then this is the game for you. Even though the game pretty much drives for you I can still beat my kid. 3 decades later, I still got it

First, if you aren't a gamer member with Bestbuy you are throwing money away every time you buy a game. This game has everything! It's especially fun once you master the steering wheel(sold separately) and don't need to use the directional buttons. The switch joy con is made to fit hands that are roughly the size of Trumps hands. If you have anything larger than a toddlers hand when playing with the joy con you need the steering wheel. There are tons of characters and vehicles to choose from. So many upgrades. The game is set up for the most novice players to the extremely talented with all the classes and cups available. Better option for party's of adults or children than 1-2 switch. Adults only below this...... Trying playing Drunk Cup The rules are: You are not allowed to drink and drive. You must pull over to drink. You must finish your adult beverage before finishing the race. Good luck!!!!

It’s a blast to play this game with multiple players. If you don’t mind the $60 price tag on a Wii U ported game, this is the game for you. Personally think the price point is silly but I can’t deny the fun factor this game delivers.

Awesome game with lots of modes, characters and tracks. Anybody that's a fan of any of the previous Mario Kart games will love this game

Kid loves it, was the hit Xmas present even my youngest likes the game.

Fun game that my family can play on the go. Everyone loves Mario Kart

Fun game for my granddaughters to play together. I would recommend purchasing.

I'm not a big gamer so please don't underestimate my appreciation for this game. Let's start with the graphics. I can't thank the team behind them enough. The colors, and everything that went into the visuals is beautiful. Colors are really bright and always go well with the intense gameplay. Each track is also a beauty. Not all of the tracks are new, and it's even specified which tracks have been used in other systems such as DS. However, playing this game on a switch is an experience of its own. Doesn't matter if I played Cheep Cheep Beach when I was on my 3DS, playing on the switch was worth it. I've never been into the sound track behind games but each sound track has been so craftfully made. It takes the gameplay to another level, by not only complementing it, but giving it a sweet competitive edge. The antigravity feature is pretty neat; to explain when you bump into other players or the antigravity pieces in the middle of the track you'll be pulled forward with a little boost. With the exception of having all access to vehicle upgrades (available by gaining coins), the cars/wheels/gliders are all cool. A lot of times I see a new vehicle and I'm like, "Wow, they have this as an option!" There's luxury Mercedes Benz, and silly animal like vehicles. The ease of the user interface is like all previous years, but its the tracks that really gets your moneys worth. Sometimes I play and question if I'm playing a game or living in one. If that was the goal of Nintendo, they really came to surpass it. Please do yourself a favor and get Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Very fun game, bought for nephew and he loves it and has been on it nonstop.

Mario Kart is a classic Nintendo game series. I've played every single entry of the series from the SNES to N64 to GCN to Wii to Wii U to Switch. I've also played the handheld entries of the series. This version of the game for Switch is basically the most current and up-to-date entry. It includes many different characters and race tracks to choose from. On the Switch, you can race with others locally via split screen or online. Honestly, it's a Mario Kart game. It's tons of fun, even playing single player mode.

So much fun for the whole family with this classic.

it took a little time to get used to the controls, but once you've got that down it's a total blast. Maps and characters are awesome.

If you have ever played MarioXart you'll automatically know and love this game. I havent found anything new and oustanding about the difference but this is great being portable now and able to just pop in and play immediately. I was even able to play with 4 people on the little screen during a break at work which was hilarious on the little screen and all of us crowding over each other and bumping elbows. Should have come out when the switch was released but worth the wait. If you have a switch... get this game.

10/10 would buy again better than Mario kart world

Better tracks than old school and of course better graphics. Love as much as the old school with new twist and characters

It's a Mario Kart game. Gameplay is great. Soundtrack is great. Makes for a great time with friends and family. Only downside is the price vs amount of content. I wish it had more tracks from previous games.

Mario kart has always been a fun game and this one doesn’t disappoint, Especially with friends !
