This is the same Mario Kart from Wii U but honestly; they didn’t need to change a thing. Best game ever for entertaining folks, lots of fun for a family. No brainer game if you buy a switch!

I have yet to play a kart racing game that can compare to this series. This one has the greats from previous titles. Also, this game is easy for kids to pick up. My 5yr old is already beating me. This is a must for your collection.

Great game in the Mario Kart series. This is a deluxe version of Mario Kart 8 that was released for the Wii U. This game has all the great things that make Mario Kart fun. The tracks are great and varied with some popular tracks from older Mario Kart games. Controlling the game works great too. You can use the Joy-Cons, split the Joy-Cons for 2 player, and use the pro controller. They all work great and controlling the kart is responsive and tight. They also include a Smart controller mode which basically helps steer and accelerate, great for younger kids. They will feel they are actually racing and not have to worry about falling off the track. There a lot of content in this game: tracks, racers, different kart mods, and the online play is fun too. This is a must have for the Nintendo Switch!

I grew up playing this game and it is just as fun at the age of 25! I've played it with my nieces and nephews and they love it and there are so many race tracks to choose from from old versions of the game and new ones too!

This is probably one of the most entertaining games in our family. Brings hours of fun, with multi player. Easy and fast to buy and download. Was playing and enjoying this game in no time.

Buy it, buy it right away and release your inner racing skills, seriously. Very good game and has multiple different gaming ways that can make a fit for any gamer. It never gets boring, especially playing with good company or even online. Go buy it.

Loved the graphics and design of the game. This version is better than the original on game cube.

Pros: - Beautiful visuals. - Fun core loop and game mechanics - Easy to pick up and play - Variety of modes and characters. Cons - online is a hit or miss. - Menu navigation is lacking in some areas.

It’s one of those games that I put off only because the new and exciting games that were coming out on the switch caught my eye a lotttt more. (S/O to Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Odyssey) But you can’t mess with a multiplayer classic. Between my dissappointment with how splatoon 2 does multiplayer (I can’t play with the person sitting next to me unless they also have a switch and a copy of the game!) and the need for extra joy con to play 2 players in arms (you can use the joy con that come with the system but only with a second set can you both punch it out) Mario karts’ ability to have up to four players with two sets of joy con is hard to beat. Bonus: a friend of mine and I realized that with 4 Nintendo switches + 4 copies of MK8 + 8 sets of joy con= a Grand Prix with no computers. Now that’s the dream.

Our whole family (ages 4-40) enjoys this game. We like that we can all play it together. It has some old Nintendo game tracks that the adults appreciate. It's also an easy game for most people to play.

Mario Kart 8 DX is the best Mario Kart to date. I have the Wii U version as well and was waiting for price drop, but ended up getting the game which came with the Steel Book. This game has a large selection of characters, which are unlocked from the beginning. But you have to play to unlock the big roster of karts, wheels, and gliders. The races are challenging, and if you're good, then you can skip the 50/100 cc grand prix modes, since doing 150 cc will just give you the same ranking for 50/100 cc tournaments. There are a total of 48 tracks, all available from the beginning. On the Switch you can play it anywhere. Must have for any Mario Kart fans.

Controls are somewhat different compared to previous versions if you've played on gamecube or wii but aren't bad once you get the hang of it. Definitely lots of fun to play and loved the use of courses from previous versions of the game.

I had Mario Kart 8 on the Wii-U, but the Deluxe edition is a step above! The graphics have been improved, and the new additions like the characters, make it even better!

As a not-so seasoned gamer, I'm very selective about the games I play but I am more so drawn to Mario type games. My husband gifted me a Nintendo Switch for my birthday and I purchased this game to give it a try. I ended up LOVING it and have played it several times with my group of friends. It is action packed and so much fun for several players. This is a must own game for your collection!!

This IS the best Mario Kart ever made from MANY view points. It is better than the Wii u version and that was the Definitive version ...UNTIL now. ...AND be able to play on the GO without it being a "3DS port" makes it even more appealing.

This is a great game to have if you like playing video games with your friends and family. There are a lot of familiar tracks, as well as a LOT of new ones from the wii game. We greatly enjoy it!

I bought this game on Wii U as well as the DLC for it and this game might just be a re-release of that content, but it's the definitive version of the game. It's the culmination of everything great about Mario Kart in a package that is portable.

This game is timeless and just as fun as the originals. I love how it takes tracks from all of the different platforms. Game play is simple, even my 4 year old loves to play. Hours upon hours of enjoyment to be had with this game.

Excellent multiplayer game to play with your kids. Lots of fun is not too difficult to learn for young children.

I love how they are racing each other. And a lot of characters to choose from. It's a family game and we enjoy playing with our daughter. It's Fun and cute Mario game! I love it!
