Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (for Nintendo Switch)

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the definitive version of Mario Kart 8, the most comprehensive Mario Kart game yet, and a must-buy game for the Nintendo Switch. It's a port of a three-year-old Wii U game, but it's an immaculate, great-looking port that fixes the original version's flaws, adds all the DLC...
Pros:
  • Completely overhauled Battle Mode
  • Tons of tracks, including DLC content
  • Lots of local and online multiplayer options
Cons:
  • Some stuttering with four-player split-screen in testing

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Nintendo Switch) Review

Many felt that Mario Kart 7 was a shocking stumble for Nintendo's (now) 25-year-old racing series, yet it did not stop the 3DS title from notching up the usual multi-million sales globally, with the game still often popping back into the charts in many countries.

Second lap: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe review

The very first time I booted up Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, I made it halfway through my first lap before being interrupted by a screaming baby in my house. My infant son was hungry, so I undocked my Nintendo Switch and took it with me to my rocking chair as I fed him.
Pros:
  • Huge amount of content
  • Battle mode
  • Holding two items at once creates great new strategies
  • Perfectly suited for bite-sized on-the-go sessions in handheld mode or multiplayer parties in TV mode
Cons:
  • Odd implementation of drive assist
  • Not really any innovative new content

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe review - A kart racer with infinite variables

is the biggest, prettiest, most fully featured Mario Kart ever. Which might make you wonder why, in amongst the overwhelmingly positive vibes, I feel a . If enthusiasm for this new game is set to 'High' rather than the usual 'Rabid,' that's because it isn't really a new game at all.

  • Improvement on the already-classic MK8
  • Smooth and flawless handheld experience
  • Battle Mode is finally worth checking out
Cons:
  • Little new to justify repeat purchase unless you're a huge fan

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe review: The return of the king

That I'm sitting here in 2017 and writing a review of Mario Kart 8 definitely seems strange. I have played this game before – a lot – and now I'm revisiting the same game under very different circumstances.
Pros:
  • The definitive version of Mario Kart 8
  • Wonderful tracks and characters with beautiful graphics
  • Battle mode is everything we wanted the first time around
Cons:
  • Rubberbanding will frustrate every player from time to time
  • Mario Kart 8 veterans may not have enough to warrant another purchase
  • Too expensive for a re-release of a three year old game
