Great game, kids and adults have a lot of fun with it. It came in a small card, very easy to install in the Nintendo console.

This game was already fantastic on the Wii-U, but since that system was very undersold, many people were not able to appreciate this fantastic game. Luckily, Nintendo has made the great decision to re-release the Wii-U's best games on the Switch, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the first such game. All the DLC is included, extra modes, including a better battle mode, have been added, and the graphics even seem slightly tweaked. And the best part? Absolute portability! Play it anywhere!

I bought this game because I wanted to play Mario kart racing games likes I used to when I was little. I love that the game is similar to the original racing games. I love all the different maps and characters there is to choose from. It is very exciting to be able to play multi-player on my new Nintendo switch.

Great game as advertised. No issues graphics are phenomenal.

The Mario Kart series gets getting better and better. More characters, features and tracks. You should have it.

If you bought this game on the Wii U, then you already know how great it is. If not, then you are probably in for a pleasant surprise. It brings everything that the Wii U version had with it plus adds a few Battle Modes. It's a great game for either those that enjoy competition or people who just want to relax and have some fun. While it may just seem like another racing game, there are all sorts of hidden shortcuts and fun surprises along the way.

Fun game all around, great for online play will lock in in for hours

I never owned a Wii but if you do then you must've owned and played this at one point. I'll speak to this version of the game and it's really fun. A lot of characters to choose from, you unlock more items for your vehicles the more you complete cups, and if you make a tournament for your friends then I see this game giving you many hours of gameplay. Not worth it for the full price though, sorry nintendo.

The switch version of MK is nearly identical to the WiiU- the tracks and graphics are great & visually incredible. The only gripe my husband and I have is playing with the tiny switch controllers... we've adjusted the settings to disable the tilt/other auto functions to improve our experience. In the end, I think we might invest in a pro controller or the wheel apparatus to play more comfortably. However, I have to say that the game itself is fun & family friendly!

Fun for friends and family, easy to play, and always fun our kids lost our other one just bought replacement lol

Wow this is a fun game for the kids in the family as well as the adults. Easy to set up for almost any age and jump right in. Kids will love the cartoony characters and courses, adults who don't even like games will find themselves acting very competitive after just one race. Cannot recommend enough for a household who is looking for some together fun.

My kids love the new Mario Kart! Lots of tracks and characters for them to choose from. Keeps them entertained.

This is one of the funnest versions of Mario Kart I have played. Love all of the new tracks and characters.

Mario Kart 8 is so fun! You can play alone or with a group of people. As always, there's racing as well as battle modes, so you can play whatever you're in the mood for. This game has fun characters, cool vehicles, wheels, and parachutes, as well as fun and colorful raceways/battle arenas. Mario Kart 8 is definitely a must have for your Nintendo Switch collection!

When this game came to the Wii U a few years back, at that time it was one of if not the best game on the system. The fact you can now get this game plus all of the DLC on top of the portability aspect makes it an absolute no brainer for anyone who digs racing games. The game can cater to any age group and supports online play as well as local multiplayer. If you own a Switch, do yourself a favor and pick this up, especially if you never played the Wii U version.
