It takes some guts to launch a port of a game in your previous generation as a big release on your shiny new console, but that's exactly what Nintendo have done. Many a gamer never got to play the fantastic Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U.

Multiple multiplayer options; Battle mode is now worthy of your time; All the DLC on the Wii U included; Small improvements that'll please veterans of the game; Play it anywhere you want

Lacking a missions mode; Not being able to switch items if you have two

While I would have preferred Mario Kart 9 on the Switch, the definitive version of Mario Kart 8 is a welcome addition to the small lineup that Nintendo's console offers. I can't tell you how much fun I had playing this with my friends, coworkers, and strangers online these past few days, and I fully...

Absolutely gorgeous when docked and undocked; Everything unlocked from the beginning; Battle Mode

At first, I thought I got ripped off, but I didn't. I played for 3 minutes and loved it. I used to play mario kart wii until I found this game

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.

We've all been there before. Having survived an onslaught of Red and Blue Shells, you've managed to hold onto your first-place position for the last two laps and you're finally on the end straight. But no, what's this?

Extremely fun; excellent battle mode; tons of characters and tracks to choose from

Online mode is wonky (at the moment

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe takes the best and makes it better. The original's awesome collection of courses, characters, and customization are only enhanced by Smart Steering and the welcomed return of Battle Mode.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a victory lap for an amazing entry in the series. The only place Mario Kart 8 faltered was in its Battle Mode and Nintendo has rectified that here with a full-fledged version.

My 32 year old son wanted this game with a Nintendo Switch after playing it on his cousins. So I picked them up for him for the holidays. This was the first game he wanted for it, it's a favorite!
