Great game, totally recommend to anyone who buys a switch. It’s easy and fun to play. The more people you play with the more fun to go around!

10/10 it is fun to play with the whole family (up to 4 people ). Game is fun and challenging for all ages . Also easy for younger kids to learn .

By far the funnest game I play on my new switch! Remotes can be used to steer or you can with the joystick, lots of people can play at one time, amazing graphics, lots of tracks so don’t get easily bored! 10/10 recommend!

Very nice game keeps the kids busy for hours and it’s fun for the whole family

Who doesn't love Mario Kart, Great courses, and as always multiplayer is epic with friends and families of all ages

Love it easy to pick up and play. Love the online play and also enjoying it taking it on the road with me. One of my favorite switch games to date. Looks like they release updates which makes it even better. Great buy and very worth it

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!

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.

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.

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.

Great game ! Fun to play wit friends really enjoy it with the upgraded graffics

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.

great graphics, i love playing with my friends, its much easier to play on switch than other consoles

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.

A++++ really great game. The best Mario Kart over all

Amazing game. Bought this for a friend and we love playing it!

The code worked perfectly, the game is fun and engaging.

This game is a fun addition to family game night. Everyone had a blast and its very easy to learn.

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!

This is a great game for all ages, it’s easy to play and a lot of fun!
