Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Review
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe doesn't offer much for players who already had their fill of the original Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U, but it's still a fantastic game have on the Switch. If, like most people, you skipped the Wii U, or just want their Kart fix, Deluxe is the best version of one of our favorite...

- Local multiplayer included (4-player
Cons:

Great fun with friends, confusing to split joycons first time
I feel this game deserves 5 stars, but I have dropped 1 star due to the lack of instructions on how to split the joycons so you can play 2 player with one each… For anyone wondering how Todo this, go into a multiplayer game, when the control prompt shows up press flip your joycon sideways and press both SL + SR at the same time, repeat this with the second joycon and you should be set To revert back to a single control press L + R at the same time in the control menu

Good second game to release on Switch
Mario Kart 8 is a fun casual racing game but local multiplayer is pretty taxing without a joycon wheel. Not really happy to spend over $70 for this ‘everything unlocked’ rerelease of MK8.

Amazing game with a few irritating ticks.
This is by far the biggest and best Mario Kart and still retains it's 4 player split screen for families and friends which is becoming more and more rare today. You come out with all unlocked characters and tracks with roughly 46 tracks and 34 playable characters from Nintendos roster, including...

The best yet!
We've played Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U, and while this deluxe version merely develops the title, the result is the slickest and most feature packed version yet - another must have title for the Switch!

Not as good as Mario Kart 8
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has simplified the game even more from Mario kart 8. In fact, you can even have the game play for you - it will auto accelerate and auto turn. Best part of this is that auto-turn is on by default, without telling you. Took some investigating to figure out this was the issue.

Whenever a Mario Kart game graces a Nintendo console, you know it's going to be something special, bringing the latest rendition of the best and most enduring kart racing series. The difference with the Nintendo Switch, however, is that we've been here before. Or have we

There's a temptation for me to just throw a pasted list of new features, then in the largest font the site will allow just put "this game is amazing, bye" and run away to start playing it again. Mario

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Review – Fun For Everyone
It's no secret that a new Nintendo console will at some point bring us a new iteration of Mario Kart. The franchise has been a staple of my gaming life for as long as I can remember, starting with the Super Nintendo version and continuing on to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which is essentially a beefed up...
