The editors didn't like

  • Are we greedy for wanting at least one new GP?
  • Blue shells
  • We know why they're here
  • We still hate ‘em
  • Online opponents picking Dry Dry Desert
  • Nintendo could perhaps have revamped the online ranking system and tweaked the lobbying
  • Price seems somewhat steep for those who already own Mario Kart 8
  • Full online functionality isn't ready quite yet
  • Not actually a new game
  • Smart steering may irk hardcore players
  • Playing on a single Joy-Con is cramped (but not required)
  • Could have done with one or two new race tracks for single player modes like Grand Prix

  • Abstract:  Bringing Mario Kart to the Switch feels like an easy win for Nintendo's fledgling machine. It isn't exactly a new game – it's Mario Kart 8, with a few extras – but that doesn't really matter, for three main reasons: the ability to play in portable mode op...

  • At its heart, playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a completely different experience to playing Mario Kart 8 precisely because of how, and where, you play it. The feel and fun of the thing is an intrinsic part of gaming and there's just so much fun to be had wh...

  • Mario Kart 8 still plays as well as it did on the Wii U and will be a great game on the Switch. However, I can't help but feel disappointed at the lack of a truly new Mario Kart game for Nintendo's new console. Three new characters, an improved Battle Mod...

  • Smooth controls and handling, Fun maps, Wide variety of characters and vehicles, Great co-op gameplay

  • Abstract:  Way back in the summers of my youth, our family would take road trips to the coast for a week or two off. At some point, we purchased a newer van with a little CRT television in a raised roof, making those trips much more bearable. Granted, modern-day min...

  • The definitive version of Mario Kart 8, Wonderful tracks and characters with beautiful graphics, Battle mode is everything we wanted the first time around
  • Rubberbanding will frustrate every player from time to time, Mario Kart 8 veterans may not have enough to warrant another purchase, Too expensive for a re-release of a three year old game
  • So the big question now is whether or not Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is worth a buy. For those who never played the original Wii U version, the answer is absolutely yes. This is a must-have for your library and the addition of battle mode makes this the definiti...

  • There's enough content here even if you've already played Mario Kart 8, thanks to its impressive and addicting new Battle Mode, or even the four additional Cups in case you've never bothered to buy the DLC for the Wii U game...
