    • Woohoo! Deja vu!
Platform For Display: Nintendo Switch Edition: Standard
Mario Kart 8 was a great game on the Wii U and it is still the best Mario Kart ever released. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe brings all the fun of the original version plus adds a few more features to it. The game looks as beautiful as ever, and runs smoothly. Perhaps even better than on Wii U due to the higher resolution supported by the new hardware. Now, and this is probably the thing I like the most about it, is that we finally have a console-quality Mario Kart game to play on the go. While all the portable Mario Kart games have been good enough, the console versions have always been superior by far. The fact that we can fit the entire Mario Kart 8 experience in our pockets now is a reality feels surreal. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe features all the tracks, characters, DLC and features from the orginal straight from the box. No unlocking... well actually scratch that, you do have to unlock the kart parts again. But all tracks and characters are ready to go from the start. If you never played MK8, you can expect a great arcade racing game with all the crazy combat action you can expect from the series. There's a few things you need to know. - Coins are back. Collect coins across the tracks to increase your max speed. - New items such as the Boomerang and the Pirahna Plant. - Antigrav mechanics, now you can ride your kart even on walls and upside down at certain sections. - As in Mario Kart 7, vehicles can be customized. You can glide through the air and drive underwater as well. - Mario Kart 8 for the first time in the series features cameo characters and tracks from other Nintendo games such as Zelda, Animal Crossing, Fzero, Excitebike and Splatoon. - Go all the way from 50cc up to 200cc for the first time. Yes, it is crazy fast and makes the game a lot harder than you'd expect. The Deluxe version brings a revamped Battle Mode that is actually fun to play, with the classic modes Coin Runners, Shine thieft, Balloon Battle, Bob Omb Blast and more. This definitely makes the experience feel more complete. It also brings back the ability to hold 2 items at the same time which hasn't been done since Gamecube's Mario Kart Double Dash. I don't know if the existance of this port means that Switch won't get its' own proper MK9. Hopefully it still does. Right now this is too much deja vu for my liking. But I do love MK8 and while I was ready for something new at this point, I'm just happy I can take this excellent gem wherever I go. ... show more

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the most visually impressive Mario game of all time, has the most content of any Mario Kart game, but does that make it the best? Pros: - Massive roster of characters! - 48 tracks! - Beautiful graphics (out does the Wii U) - Stats menu is much better done - You can hold 2 items again (this is a major game changer in a great way) - Boo item and feather return - Menu looks better - Controls are simple - Many different control options - You can play 2 player as long as you own the Switch since the Switch comes with a pair of Joy-Con controllers - Battle Mode is back and better than ever! - Nice variety of Battle Mode battles - Music is wonderful - Online seems to work great Cons: - Smart steering is annoying to keep turned off, very easy to turn it on by mistake - Still no proper trophy celebration - All characters and tracks are unlocked from the start of the game except for 1 character As you can see the pros really out weigh the cons by a lot! I was not a big fan of Mario Kart 8 on Wii U (I wrote a review here on Amazon), but I can safely say that every major flaw that game had has been fixed perfectly with this game! And I failed to mention one of the biggest pros and that is the fact that you can play this game anywhere! The Nintendo Switch allows you to take it with you and play this game wherever you want, and you will always have 2 controllers with you in case you want to play with a friend. The Nintendo Switch is a safe buy for any gamer, we already have Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild and now we have possibly the greatest Mario Kart game ever made! Not to mention the impressive lineup of games we know that are coming for the Switch later this year. I'll end this review now, as Bowser and I have some races to win! See you on the race track fellow Nintendo fans! ... show more
