The definitive Mario Kart experience gets even better and the Switch's form-factor makes it even better. This will undoubtedly be a multiplayer mainstay for years due to its solid gameplay and fun.

Improvement on the already-classic MK8; Smooth and flawless handheld experience; Battle Mode is finally worth checking out

Little new to justify repeat purchase unless you're a huge fan

Just as with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild , Nintendo has somehow managed to create another game that goes above and beyond all expectation. Not only is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe good, it's unbelievably good for something that essentially amounts to a refreshed release of a three-year-old title.

42 racers; 48 courses and so much new content; Battle Mode is back and better than ever; Plenty of content to keep Mario Kart 8 completionist's occupied

Price seems somewhat steep for those who already own Mario Kart 8; Full online functionality isn't ready quite yet

When we reviewed Mario Kart 8 back around its release on Wii U, it's fair to say that we liked it a lot . Now it's back in a new Deluxe package on the Switch, and Nintendo's flagship racer is in better shape than it has ever been before.

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.

Opting for enhanced and expanded deluxe / director's cut / remastered / Game of the Year editions of last-gen games is a well-worn tactic in the early days of a new console. Some of the most enjoyable games on PS4 and Xbox One are high quality re-releases, taking a top-notch title and sprucing it up...

There'll be arguments about what's a fitting price tag for what is at heart a port, but all that's moot in the face of what remains one of the most exquisite video games in recent years.

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

Bought this with the Nintendo switch for my 10 year old girl and she loves playing it. I've never been a gaming person but I love playing this with my daughter. It's lots of fun and she loves beating me. Lots of different races to pick from and lots of different characters.

Excellent value for money, even at ￡42. The game was first released in 2014, and is still going strong. A must buy for multiplayer, parties, and online play. Single player for practice when you need it the most. Everyone should own this one in their game collection.

Bought as a Christmas present for my daughter as a digital download. Playing Mario kart on Christmas Day my daughter loved the game. I had a battle trying to get onto the the switch to play. The game is really good fun lots of challenges to keep you busy. The courses are provides a variety to users.
