Mario Kart 8 for the Nintendo Switch is a better game than Mario Kart 8 for the Wii U. It has more to offer in every aspect. If you have a Switch, this game needs to be in your library! My kids and I love battling and racing on it!

Fun game! Kids enjoy it and nice to play online with friends!

This game has been amazing since it first was released. Over the years it keeps getting better and better. Kids love it and adults love it too. Simple yet great graphics all around.

Grew up on Mario Kart, so this game makes me feel like a carefree kid again and I love it. It's been a great way to connect and play something lighthearted with friends online. My only complaint is that you have to pay for a Nintendo shop account to play online with others. It's only 4 bucks a month (or about 20 bucks a year), so it's nothing too major—just wish it was a free feature. Otherwise pick this game up!!

Feels like back in the day playing this game. Never gets old. Very very fun game

I love it easy to play my kids they’re enjoy and had fun

I bought this game mainly to play with my wife and kids. All 4 of us are very competitive and have a blast playing this game. I couldn't recommend this game more if you have kids and are looking for a great game to play together.

This game is just perfect for the family.The little ones can play with the new method that allows not to fall from the track. It has dozens of tracks, all the cars from the WiiU version. You have months and months of entertainment.

This is all of the classic Mario Kart you love, experienced on Switch. Race mode with fun weapons and characters, battle mode, etc. If you've ever liked a Mario Kart game and have a Switch, you'll like this one, too.

This is really the definitive version of Mario Kart 8. If you've not checked it out on the Wii U, it's more or less a required buy for the Switch if you have any interest in Mario Kart. If you've played it on the Wii U without the DLC, I think there's enough value here to make it worth the buy. If you had the DLC, that's when things become more muddled. It's certainly great, and the ability to hold two items adds a new dynamic. There's also the improved battle mode, which is great. But unless you want to take it on the go and play with friends, I'm not convinced it's worth it. It sounds as though the online isn't in the best shape either, if that's a big point for you. Overall it's a ton of fun though. If you want some good kart racing, it'll be hard to go wrong with Mario and friends.

This game is everything I wanted it to be. Lots of fun be able to play new maps and new characters on the switch but have the same feel as the older games. Also so much fun to play online against people. Highly recommend this game!

This has been one of the premier games in my collection and a go to for any gathering. Some of the beat tracks and customizable vehicles makes this game great. The only downside, more of a console issue, is the drift on the control stick seems to need calibrated regularly or it wants to pull in one direction. Overall a fantastic game with hours upon hours of playability.

Super fun for everyone! It’s perfect when you have family events or parties. So much fun!

Family friendly game. I have 4 kids ages 19 to 3 and they all enjoy it. Wifey & I play as well just to get beat by our kids!! They really enjoy that.

If you have played Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U then this is still worth getting as there is soooo much more & it includes new characters & Battle Mode finally! New tracks plus all the original DLC. It runs best on the Switch as well.

With this game you get a lot of fun playing with too many characters

Amazing! The family loves it! We had the Wii U version and this is a definite improvement. I wasn’t expecting the visuals to be so much better but they were very much so.

Great product. My son is in love with his birthday gift. He won’t be spending much time on his gift due to school but I will allow him to play for an he daily.

I always loved playing Mario kart and this new one is so much fun

One of my favorite games ever. I've loved the Mario Kart series since the SNES and loved playing Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U. This version has all the DLC from the Wii U version right off the bat. Fantastic game and it's a must own.
