This is a very nostalgic game to play with family and friends! I love racing against my fiance

My grandkids got a switch for Christmas so I bought one and this game so we can play together even though we can’t be together. It’s a ton of fun! We FaceTime while we’re playing so that makes it even better and I know I’ll eventually beat them. The graphics are cool and you can enjoy this even if you don’t know the right combination of buttons to do fancy stuff. Great racing game. I even play it when they’re not online

Great fun for kids and adults. Games for switch are expensive though.

Colorful, engaging worlds and tracks, and interesting, fun characters and vehicle options make this enjoyment for everyone!

“Mario Kart 8 is the best kart racing game Nintendo has made in a long time. It strikes a careful balance between refining old ideas while introducing fresh new ones. Admittedly, its gorgeous graphics and jazzy orchestrated soundtrack bolster its presentation, but you’re getting a lot more than just looks with this one – although I spent an awful lot of time gawking at the details in slow-motion, the fast and furious pace of racing with friends both locally and online is what really kept me coming back.”

I owned Mario Kart 8 on the WiiU but am glad I made the decision to purchase the Deluxe version on the Nintendo Switch. The game was already among the best Mario Kart titles, with smooth graphics and controls, fun new courses, and a tasteful selection of classics. The addition of a full-featured Battle Mode makes multiplayer that much more fun, especially the return of my favorite mode, Shine Thief. The game also features all of the DLC tracks from the WiiU version, many of which were among the best courses in the entire series.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has to be the best Mario Kart ever made. This is coming from a guy who's first game ever was MK 64. I loved that game and still love it to this day. I've played every console MK, and several handheld versions, and I feel this game not only the best racing experience of them all, it's also the best celebration of all the past glories of the entire series all in one package. If you have a Switch and you don't have this game, you are missing a vital piece of the whole experience your Switch has to offer.

This is the best version of the best Mario Kart game. It looks great, plays great, and is tons of fun to play with friends or by yourself.

Love Mario kart. This version is packed with karts and racers and tracks. Looks amazing on my big screen and in handheld.

Having a console Mario Kart game on the go has been a dream of many Nintendo fans. With the release of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe that's finally a reality. This game was my favorite Mario Kart when it initially released on the Wii U and having a Deluxe version for Switch is truly incredible. Additions of new characters, karts, and a completely revamped battle mode make this game truly worth the purchase, even if you already bought it for the Wii U. The updated graphics look amazing and make this game even prettier than it was before.

I've been a fan of the Mario Kart series sincentives the SNES and this is the best of them all. Fun with friends, by yourself or online.

This is a fantastic entry in the Mario Kart series! I go back and forth on whether or not it's the best Mario Kart game ever, but if it's not the best, it's right up there! And certainly for content it's probably the best, especially if you get the DLC. This is a strong recommend!

This is the same game as the wii u version just in case you think its a new kart game. Still a bunch of fun and now very portable as well

It's just fun, the wheeled controllers are smaller than expected, but they're decent. The tracks and gameplay are fantastic

It’s a blast with multiplayer. We’ve unlocked all the vehicles and accessories but that doesn’t matter, the amazing tracks and fun music never get old. My one complaint: the computer cheats.... When trying to unlock all the stars in Grand Prix mode you can be in first place the entire race then the computer will bombard you with blue shells, red shells and lightening before you can cross the finish line. I’ve lost so many races that way, it gets annoying. On my second try the computer calms down, so not too bad.

Previously a Wii U exclusive but alas has made its way to the Nintendo Switch and for good reason. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe uses everything from its predecessor and more, All content which also includes all DLC tracks and characters with more additional characters and a proper battle mode as well. If you owned this on the Wii U no need to rush and buy but if you're a Switch owner it is a must buy, from single player to online multiplayer and even local multiplayer is not only available in the comfort of your home but on the go too.

An excellent purchase to have a great time with the family, Mario games never fail and even more so when it comes to local multiplayer. I highly recommend it and better if you buy the DLC of more tracks and characters. Great fun.

Best Mario kart game ever. Lots of characters and tracks.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a great edition of Mario Kart! For those that own Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U, this is only a slight upgrade. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe includes all of the DLC and Battle Mode, among many other tweaks that make this a great experience. These include: better resolution, frame-rate and game-play (sliding mechanism enhanced). For those that do not own Mario Kart 8, but own a switch, this is a great buy, and for those that do own Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U, this is still a great buy if you are an avid Mario Kart fan.

Great version of Mario Kart 8, with all of the DLC from the Wii U version. A lot of fun with family and friends, must have for the Switch!
