Still Great!
I was unsure what to expect from this as it is a game I already owned for Wii U. All the download content from the previous release is already included. I feel like now I can fully enjoy the game. I play it online at home and when I'm out with Friends.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe review: Switch racer is the pinnacle of Nintendo's series
- Brilliant Battle Modes
- tons of material to play though
- easily the best Mario Kart yet
- Could have more brand-new content
- Smart Steering is jarring
- still have to unlock kart mods
Good second game to release on Switch

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Review: Hands down the best portable racing experience
There is something special about Mario Kart that resonates with fanboys of Nintendo , and while I was not a hardcore fanboy of the series, things have changed now.
