    Best Mario Kart Yet!

    I made the the jump from the Wii to the Switch and I knew I had to have this game. I have been playing Mario Kart since N64; Nintendo continues to amaze me with ingenuity they display when coming out with new twists on the original game. The graphics were so crisp without hurting my eyes. It was nice to not have to unlock characters. (Punishing players for preferring certain aspects of the game was not appreciated. example: time trials) The new battle modes were refreshing and fun! My family loves the additional options to the replay mode. And as usual the stages are a lovely mix of old and new. The old stages have been given new depth because of the updated challenges and modifications. On a final note, they have added smart steering that will keep you from falling off the course. This is good for younger players that may not have the dexterity needed to play. Seasoned players might find it annoying as it may keep you from using shortcuts which require you to go off the course, luckily you can turn it on and off.

    Love it. Great game THE FREAKING ONLINE its the most fun part of the whole game,you get to race people all over the world or just japanese people either one, i like how you get 4 suggested tracks that you can pick, that makes it quicker for the race to start and is better for mariokart. i absolutely LOVE how you can say messages because its a fun way to let people know your better than them and you can lie about using tilt controls which is fun. you can play against people from your own country.now this is a nice feature to have because they are all from your country which is cool in my opinion. i really love the tournaments they are really fun and some of the names are funny and make you want to join it which is fun so yeah online is amazing,everything else is eh, 5 stars

    I've been playing racing games for a long time, especially Mario Kart ones. This is the best one I've played, which says a lot. It controls very smoothly, the tracks are fun and original. And overall, it's just so fun to play. Me and my wife have a blast, and she doesn't regularly play video games.

    This is by far the best iteration of Spider-Man yet. Insomniac knocked it out of the park! They took the best of Spider-Man 2 and then added so much more. The only thing that wore on me was some of the side stuff. Outside of that, it's a game that every PS4 owner should have.

    One of my favorite go-to games on the switch. It has everything jam packed from the Wii U version and more! Online netplay, Faster modes, and so many characters to choose from. Definitely worthy purchase. Great job Nintendo!

    Mario Kart was probably one of my favorite series back in the day on Super Nintendo and 64. Now I'm an adult and... I still enjoy it! This is the type of game made for couch play with friends and family. So if you have children or friends to play with, this is a must buy for the Switch.

    This is really the definitive version of Mario Kart, and my favorite of the series all the way since Double Dash back on the Gamecube. It's a slightly updated version of MK8 for Wii U but with some new characters, maps, and the amazing ability to play on the go on the Switch.

    The game is so much fun to play with friends and family. The game is simple enough for non-gamers and young kids but challenging enough for experienced players. The graphics are beautiful and the game is overall a great addition to your Nintendo Switch Library. Buy it!

    This xmas was awesome! The process was smooth. Order online, get email confirmation, and pick up within an hour. The service was on point and the game was a blast. my kids and i are having family fun with this game! my 7 year old son is ecstatic, my 11 year old daughter is having fun showing her skills, and i can barely keep up with them. The parental controls are absolutely the best way to limit the daily screentime. since the switch games are so much fun they don't mind using up their time today and then coming back for more tomorrow. i like that they can still have time to read, write, draw, and play. i think it was a superdad wise choice to get this switch!

    Once you've played Zelda Breath of the Wild you need to cut loose and get some action gaming in. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is not that much different than the other incarnations, but it's great being able to play it on the Switch. Plus with the Switch, it's portable. Definitely a fun game.

    Very fun game to play both online and against the computer. 48 tracks makes for a lot of variety. My only complaint is that there are not any unlockable characters or tracks. But there are unlockable karts, wheels, and wings.

    What else to say other than it's Mario Kart? The deluxe edition on switch comes with all dlc released on the WiiU with a couple extras. Gameplay is fun and addictive, an absolute blast when played with friends either in person or online, or if you play solo and just want to pass the time. Only downside to this version of the game is that most of the characters are unlocked from beginning, so it feels like going through all the different cups, while there is secrets to unlock, not having regular character unlocks makes progression feel tedious. That being said, there are lots of kart unlockables that you'll grind out, so that is something, but the criteria for unlocking kart parts isn't winning races or karts but rather just grinding out coins in races. All in all, while I personally see it as a downside, it doesn't take away from the quality of the game or the enjoyment you can expect from it. It's definitely a solid buy.

    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. Everything that made the Wii U original game great is present here (as it is a boosted port) and the amount of content and gameplay is sure to have you coming back time and time again. Paired with the easy accessibility of the Switch and the simple controls, 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. My favorite feature personally has been the worldwide online races, where 12 people from all around the globe race against one another on tracks voted on by the players. Not to mention the various other modes to keep you entertained both offline and online. If you're looking for games to add to your Switch collection or picking one up for the first time, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is an amazing game through and through.
