Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - US Version

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Experience – Highly Recommended I had an excellent experience with this vendor from start to finish. The customer service was responsive, professional, and genuinely helpful throughout the entire process. Any questions I had were answered quickly and clearly. The product quality exceeded expectations — well-made, exactly as described, and clearly built with attention to detail. It’s refreshing to receive something that not only matches the listing but actually delivers beyond it. Most importantly, the product description was accurate and reliable, which made the purchasing decision easy and gave me confidence in what I was receiving. This is exactly the kind of company I look for when shopping. I am a very satisfied customer and will absolutely continue to be a long-term repeat buyer. Highly recommended — I look forward to doing business with them again.

Got this a few years ago and am just not writing a review. I received it quickly and it has no issues! Game still works fine and it’s fun to play! The graphics are great (I play it on switch lite) and there are easy and difficult modes and tracks! It was a good value!

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is hands down one of the best games for the Nintendo Switch! It’s the perfect blend of nostalgia and modern gaming, with stunning graphics, smooth gameplay, and a ton of content to keep you entertained for hours. Whether you’re a longtime Mario Kart fan or new to the series, this game is a must-have. The tracks are incredibly creative, from classic courses that have been beautifully remastered to brand-new ones that are full of surprises. There’s a huge roster of characters and karts to customize, so you can always find a combo that fits your style. The variety of modes—from traditional Grand Prix to the chaotic and fun Battle Mode—means there’s something for everyone. Multiplayer is where this game truly shines. Playing with friends locally or online is a blast, and the competition never gets old. The controls are intuitive and responsive, whether you’re using a Pro Controller or the Joy-Cons. Plus, with the addition of features like Smart Steering, even beginners can jump in and have a great time. If you own a Switch, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is an essential part of your library. It’s endlessly replayable, family-friendly, and so much fun. Highly recommend it for solo players, families, or anyone who loves a good racing game!

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is an amazing port of Mario Kart 8 to the switch. It was a great idea on their part to include all the previous dlc for free in this version along with extras. If you have the spare cash, the dlc pass for this game is well worth getting for the amount of content you get for it as well.

Exactly as described. Fun game!

So great

As a Wii U owner, I was disappointed when Nintendo announced Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for Nintendo Switch, a port of Mario Kart 8 for Wii U. I bought Mario Kart 8 and all its DLC, only to be greeted by this! Nonetheless, I decided to purchase the game to strengthen my game library. (The 20% discount from pre-ordering through Amazon Prime helped sweeten the deal.) Now that I have played the game, I decided to review it so I could tell everyone every major thing that is new in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (MK8D), and, if you owned the Wii U version of Mario Kart 8 (MK8U), whether I think it's worth the upgrade...and the $60. Note: if you aren't a MK8U owner but own the Nintendo Switch, then stop reading this review and buy MK8D! It is a must-have in the MK family. The game will be a brand new experience for you, and you will love it! Now let me tell you about all the major changes in MK8D. - The game runs at default 1080p and 60 fps in TV Mode, in contrast to the Wii U's default 720p. (In Handheld and Tabletop modes it is reduced to 720p. When there are 3 or 4 players, it is reduced to 30 fps.) - You can play MK8 ANYWHERE, with ANYONE, at ANYTIME! - All DLC from MK8U is included in MK8D. - Every thing is unlocked from the start, except car parts and Gold Mario. - You can now hold two items at once, which was one of my favorite elements of Mario Kart: Double Dash!! The Double item box also returns from Double Dash. - There are two new items: Boo and Feather, which is exclusive to Battle mode. - There is a third level of mini-turbo, called Ultra Mini-turbo and represented by purple sparks. - Smart Steering is an optional feature that prevents you from falling off the track. Auto Accelerate is also an optional feature that causes your kart to accelerate automatically. (These features can be set to on/off for each individual player.) - There are 5 new characters: King Boo, Bowser Jr., Dry Bones, Inkling Girl, and Inkling Boy. (You can also unlock Gold Mario, a variant of Metal Mario.) - The battle mode has been completely revamped,(Because Wii U owners know that MK8U's battle mode sucked.) and may I say, it is STELLAR!!! This is the greatest Battle Mode ever! Even people who say that Battle Mode isn't their favorite will (probably) LOVE this! Battle across 1 of 8 Battle arenas in 1 of 5 different modes: Pop balloons in Balloon Battle, catch the renegades or dodge the law in Renegade Roundup, be greedy in Coin Runners, throw bombs in Bob-omb Blast, and steal and flee in Shine Thief. And that's everything new in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe! So the question is... is MK8 worth purchasing a second time? The answer is YES! Even though I don't like when developers make a do-over of a game, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is tolerable. I docked a star just because it's a port and it's $60, but other than that it's great (but if Nintendo makes a Super Smash Bros. 4 port I'm gonna lose it...).

This is the definitive edition version of Mario Kart 8, and a must buy for those who never owned the Wii U version. For those who already own the Wii U version, the changes may or not be worth it depending on what you're looking for. Without further ado here are the list of changes compared to the Wii U version: 1. 1080p with higher frame rate* when docked (TV mode) instead of 720p (on Wii U). Tabletop mode it's still 720p. Frame rate TV mode is 60fps, off TV mode is 59fps. Yes, one frame makes a difference when comparing side-by-side and/or when you have been playing dozens of hours of the original 2. 5 new characters: King Boo, Bowser Jr, Dry Bones, & Inklings (Boy and Girl) 3. Characters can now carry up to two items at once, even if they don't drag the first item 4. Double Item Box. Get two items when you run through a double item box or two singles. Note that you cannot swap items back and forth 5. "Smart Steering" A mode that prevents you from running off course or into a puddle of water. Good for toddlers or young children getting into the game (especially on the rainbow road courses). If the Smart Steering mode is on, the player's vehicle will have an antenna sticking out its rear end. The antenna blinks when Smart Steering is active. 6. "Auto-accelerate" for beginners. Can be used in conjunction with Smart Steering, essentially you don't have to hold down the accelerate button. Again, good for young children who just want to drive through the track without any stop-gaps. Works well when using the wheel peripheral 7. All DLC (from Wii U) included. Everything is unlocked from beginning except kart parts and Gold Mario. Kart Parts are unlocked by playing through the game and collecting coins. Gold Mario unlocked by winning all of the 200cc grand prix cup 8. Time Trials in the 200cc engine class have been added. Also added are new ghosts of Nintendo employees to race against 9. Ultra Mini-Turbo, denoted by pink/purple sparks that appear after the orange sparks which makes you boost significantly faster. Cannot be used with smart steering on 10. Online Play. -Option to change character and vehicle combinations during an online lobby without having to leave/exit out; this is done by pressing the "Y" button during the course selection screen of an online lobby. - You can see what lap everyone is in, in spectator mode if you finish early -When you win a match you get to wear a crown in the main online menu screen for everyone in the lobby to see. Hat also present when you're in the lead during a match - More icon packs for tournament mode 11. Faster loading times. Just a few seconds, but it adds up overtime. If you purchase Mario Kart Deluxe digital over the physical you get 1-2 secs off each track loading screen 12. New amiibo compatibility. You now get racing suits when scanning in specific amiibo 13. Boo and feather (battle mode only) item return to the game 14. You get the same 48 courses racing courses. But you get 5 additional new battle stages in battle mode + 3 retro stages 15. The Villager in now split between male and female selectable characters with different stats bringing the roster to the total of 42 characters (excluding character variants. Example: different color yoshis/shy guys, create your own mii, etc) 16. Graphical change: Motion Blur, High Quality Shadows, Confetti now drop to the ground showing animation at start of match 17. Battle mode: Biggest change in terms of gameplay. There are 4 battle mode game types: -Balloon Battle. Traditional Arena Style (no more battling in a circle) Mario Kart Battle mode where you use items to pop your opponent's balloons or steal them via feather item in order to score points. -Renegade Round Up. Cops and Robbers style setup. One team with the potted piranha plants try to capture all the other team before time runs out. Once captured your teammate can also free you from your jail cell -Bob-omb Blast. Same as balloon battle, but you only carry bombs -Coin Runner. Collect as many coins in the stage as you can before time runs out -Shine Thief. A keepway style game where you have to hold the Shrine Sprite the longest before time runs out. The driver holding the shrine sprite will have their speed lower the longer they hold it ==Additional notes: - There's 4 player split screen in docked (TV mode) and handheld/table top mode. Note that the screen for table top mode is really small and may be a problem for those who are far-sighted. When playing 2 player it's 60fps, 3 or more on the same screen it'll drops down 30fps -There's no Download Play, so you have to play split screen or have another copy of the game if you don't want to share the same screen or play more than 4 players -Stamps do not make a return since the Switch doesn't have miiverse -No more gamepad/duel screen when playing TV mode, so this time around you cannot see what items everyone is holding by glancing down -No voice chat (as of this review) unfortunately. Was present in the Wii U version with mic hardware (which no one bought). There's supposed to be a smart phone app that takes advantage of voice chat, but no word yet from Nintendo -Statistics of the vehicle parts and drivers have also been changed to make game more balanced -Other balance changes: Fire Hopping have been removed: An exploit in the Wii U version where you can repeatedly hop from left to right to get extra speed from turboboost. Blue shell dodge exploit still present. It's when you fall off the cliff the last second the blue shell is about to hit you, it'll save a lot of time recovering from the hit. Note this cannot be done when smart steering mode is on If a Blooper is about to ink the player as they cross the finish line, the player will still get inked. Red Shell Nerfed: If you're holding an item behind you while in the air, you can block a red shell Easier to break while drifting (advanced tactic) -Luigi still has his signature death stare If there's anything I missed please put it in the comments. Overall, i personally think the best additions are the enhanced battle mode and the portability aspect as I can now play during my break period and commute to work. I already sunk in over 300+ hours on the Wii U version and the upgrade is totally worth it for me as I got more than my money's worth in the original game on Wii U and plan to sync 300+ on the Switch version especially with the ease of use due to it's portability, and 100+ more hours of play in battle mode play with housemates. Well that is my personal perspective, so if you are in a similar situation it's a very good buy. If not, I hope the list of changes helped you in your purchasing decision

Exelente juego, para las reuniones la verdad está súper, para que no pase el tiempo lento, tiene muy buena jugabilidad

Item came good

Merci pour cet article je recommande

Seriously this game is soo much fun and competitive when you are playing with family or with friends I would definitely recommend this game for the people who want to race with joy and fun

Six years after the release of the last Mario Kart on console, the game re-emerges as a "must have" for the Switch! TL:DR, think of this as a rehash of Mario Kart 7 with some new Dash elements and remastered in HD (when docked). If you bought a Switch, you'll probably buy this... and Splatoon when it releases. If you know a little bit about the Mario Kart series, you know that each episode brings its little more to the table. Mario Kart Wii had the steering wheel and bikes, before that, they added hang-gliders and underwater passages, and before that, there were the loops. What this still lacks is the overall sensation of speed. If you've played Fast RMX, you might be disappointed but Mario Kart games have never been much on the speed feeling aspect -- but rather the actual track bits (ramps, loops, shortcuts, etc). This means you'll run a track many times to find and explore new paths. Still, it's less of a racing game and more of a party game. This is underscored by the awesome (according to my kids) "guided steering" mode. No longer are they bashing into walls on mistakes, they are riding in step with the party. Think of it like bowling with bumpers for beginners vs without. Yep, it's like that. Overall, it's not the most original episode of the series but Mario Kart 8 has the fun side that will ensure its success with the fans as newcomers. Hardcore racers will find the tracks too wide or the feeling of speed too low, but it's not a hardcore racing game. Nintendo has made this more balanced and less frustrating than Mario Kart Wii, more beautiful than Mario Kart 7 and more accessible to new players -- without succumbing to the tragedy that is "Super Mario Run". Finally, don't buy this for single player as the solo experience is rather thin. Grab a few Joycons, invite your friends and play on!
