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...

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe review: You WILL buy a Switch
Spoiler: Mario Kart 8 is a great game. Sorry, let the cat out of the bag there. If you have a Wii U, you already know this. But with not that many people actually owning one, and Nintendo with a new, very-well-selling Switch console in desperate need of a Nintendo-made racer to double as a local...

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Review
Mario Kart 8 was without a doubt one of the best games to release on the Wii U and now it has been improved on even further on Nintendo Switch. The game performs better than it ever has, this time with a crisper look that really shines both in docked and handheld forms.

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.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Review
The Wii U was no fiscal success, but without Mario Kart 8 it would have been a money-bleeding liability. The game that brought us Luigi's Death Stare , MKTV , and single-handedly revitalized its host console (sporting crazy high attach rates ) was a reinvention for Mario Kart , and despite its...
Pros:
- Mario Kart 8 with full HD
- Battle Mode
- DLC
- and assorted goodies
- Battle delivers
- is fleshed-out
- and offers a variety of modes
- The game is gorgeous
- and Deluxe is the definitive edition
- Small adds like smart steering and extra items
- though minor
- are welcome
