No other game offers such a delicious mix of whimsy, skill and sheer brutality – the pain of being hit by a blue or red shell yards before the finish line while leading, and then being hit by a fusillade of items as the rest of the field catches and passes will live with you forever. It's now 25 years since the first Mario Kart, and in that period, Nintendo has honed the franchise's gameplay to utter perfection. If, like most, you never committed yourself to buying a Wii U, then you're in for a treat with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on Nintendo Switch. But what really surprises is that a number of small but significant tweaks and additions have been made which affect the core gameplay. On top of all that, Battle mode has been completely – and very effectively – revamped.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe review: More than a mere portįirst up, Deluxe includes all Mario Kart 8's downloadable content, which brings 16 new tracks, including Zelda and F-Zero themed ones, a bunch of new playable characters (there are 42 in all), karts and kart-parts, plus the 200cc mode which was added to Mario Kart 8 as an update.

Indeed, it's the next must-own title for Nintendo's latest console. Even more propitiously, Deluxe is much more than a mere tarted-up port of the Wii U original. Especially so when you consider that Mario Kart 8 was the only full iteration of any of its classic franchises to grace the Wii U.Īnd on Nintendo Switch, Mario Kart is as good as it's ever been. Its arrival so soon after that of the Switch console demonstrates that Nintendo has well and truly woken up to the necessity of providing its consoles with compelling games, as quickly as possible.

(Pocket-lint) - If you seek evidence that Nintendo learned some major lessons from the Wii U's humiliating failure, you need look no further than Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
