    A fantastic time all around. Whether you have friends to enjoy this game with you or not, there is plenty to do in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, this game is a perfect fit for the casual or hardcore gamer, and potentially the most accessible and fun the Mario Kart series has ever been.

    We bought this game so that the family can play together, and have fun on nights at home. I have been playing this series of games since Super Mario Kart came out on the Super Nintendo in the early 90's. For anyone who grew up with this series of game, it will not disappoint. All of the popular power-ups are here, which can make the game a bit challenging and fun. The mechanics are easy enough for young children to pick up on. My 6 and 9 year old needed little practice to start playing the game. There is enough variation of game play to keep you coming back, but classic versus racing seems to be the most popular for my family. I think many would enjoy this game, it's simple mechanics, fun battle modes, etc. It has replay value and if you have kids and want to share a fun experience I would pick it up.

    With the new Switch console out I was hoping for the next installments in many of the major Nintendo lineups, this includes the Mario Kart series. Albeit I was slightly disappointed when MK8 Deluxe was announced, after making the purchase I could not be happier. The graphics and frame rate have (seemingly) been overhauled in comparison to the Wii U version. This already alone gives Deluxe points in my book. The game offers all the same tracks and characters as the first installment PLUS all the available DLC originally released. They even include several bonus characters that did not appear at all in the Wii U version (King Boo, Dry Bones). The other major change in gameplay is the move from single hold items to dual holding of items; as well as a driver assist to help aid users in staying on track, good for beginners! The online runs smooth as butter and is easy to access, as well as the wireless switch local play. All in all it may not be the next numerical installment of Mario Kart but it's well worth the purchase in my book!

    I haven’t played a Mario Kart game yet that I haven’t been impressed by the graphics. Gameplay is simple n for me that’s a plus. Plus it is a switch game so perfect for travel. Not sure if there’s anything new to it from the prior entry on the Wii U but still it’s a great upgrade.

    There isn't much to dislike here. The gameplay is solid, the track designs are beautiful, and the replay ability is endless. With the Switch, you can play Mario Kart with someone anywhere you are because the joycons can be used as two controllers. I visited a girl in the hospital, and brought it with me, and we played this game together. For owners of the Switch, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a must have game.

    Slight Upgrade from MK8

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I was a huge fan of Mario Kart 8 for Wii U. That said, I couldn't enjoy battle mode. Giant courses not designed for battles was never a good formula. Thankfully, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe swaps those courses out for 8 excellent battle arenas. In addition, there are 5 game modes to choose from, so the added variety is appreciated. The rest of the game is a very minor improvement over the original MK8 (all courses including DLC from MK8, new characters to name the most significant). My recommendation is that if you've played MK8 then Deluxe is only worthwhile if you're in it for battle mode. Otherwise the price point is just a little too high for the small increase in content.

    Excellent game, well worth your time

    Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, a port of the popular Wii U title Mario Kart 8, is one of the few first party Nintendo games available for the new Nintendo Switch console. Unlike other ports, such as Breath of the Wild and the currently un-released Pokken Tournament DX, MK8 Deluxe actually offers new features not available in the original game. Battle modes, secondary items, and a few characters are added and are actually well worth the money. Coupled with the DLC from MK8 available at start, this is definitely a good purchase. Visually, the game is stunning and very pleasant to play. It plays well in both handheld and docked modes, and plays with a good mix of ease and difficulty that can really appeal to more hardcore and casual players at the same time. If you're looking for a great co-op game or just something to sink time into, go for it. Do note though, the single Joy-con configuration is possibly the worst way to play. If you're planning on doing multi-player, invest in extra controllers or grips that make the single joy-con easier to hold.

    If you missed it on the Wii U because reasons, you need to play it now, especially if you're a Mario kart fan! It's got all the dlc and tracks that were in the Wii U version, but now portable and with the switch you have built in 2 player always, it's great! A must have for any switch owner!

    Mario Kart is perfect for everyone! I play competitively with my friends, my nephew of 4 enjoys cruising around (thanks to auto acceleration) and its plain fun. This game includes all of the DLC from the Wii U version so it has more characters and courses. Must have if you have a Nintendo Switch.

    I'm not sure if I'm just that good at Mario Kart (there's no way I am) or if this is just very easy, as there's no CPU difficulty setting and I often end up lapping other karts. It's fun with friends, though.

    Who cares if switch doesn't have a 4k output? This thing looks amazing! Great tracks. The ability to customise cars is really cool. Since the Wii version they 've modified the way in which you can release objects, making it easier to cover your self while using a single joycons to steer
