Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the perfect follow up to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It’s fun regardless of whether you’re playing alone, with friends on the couch or taking the race online. It lends itself perfectly to the portability of the Nintendo Switch and there’s just enough new content to warrant a purchase for those that owned the original game on the Nintendo Wii U.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has become the Nintendo Switch's second big hit since its release last Friday. It's already reached over 1 million sales, and the buzz surrounding the game has been nothing but positive. That's for good reason as well. While Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

If you are just jumping in for the very first time, prepare to have your mind blown away. A true modern multiplayer classic, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe stands as one of the greatest games that Nintendo has ever made.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe plays exceptionally well and its pick-up-and-play nature feels right at home on Nintendo Switch. There may not be any game-changing additions, but new items and characters, as well as an insanely fun Battle mode, help round out an already-impressive package.

Overall though, there’s not a lot I can fault Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for. It’s a remake, sure, but it’s also the best the series has ever been and now a family favorite in my house.  Oh, and I barely even mentioned the return of the excellent Battle Mode and all its arena-based kart combat fun. This one is highly recommended, and I only hopes Nintendo releases more content in the future.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe gives players the full package right from the starting line. With an enormous roster of both characters and raceways to select from MK8 Deluxe brings over all of the content from the Wii U edition of the game and then goes and adds more content. While those wanting the single player experience might not find too much to race for, as a multiplayer title this is a great one to challenge your friends to.

I’ll admit I was initially skeptical when one of the biggest new titles announced for the Nintendo Switch was a definitive edition of one of the Wii U’s most successful releases, but the more I play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the more I think it’s one of the smartest decisions Nintendo have made. Mario Kart 8 was, for my money, the best Mario Kart game to date. It refined the series in a way that was slick and modern while remaining brilliantly nostalgic, and now we get to experience it all o...
