Review: Woohoo! Deja vu! - Mario Kart 8 was a great game on the Wii U and it is still the best Mario Kart ever released. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe brings all the fun of the original version plus adds a few more features to it. The game looks as beautiful as ever, and runs smoothly. Perhaps even better than on Wii U due to the higher resolution supported by the new hardware. Now, and this is probably the thing I like the most about it, is that we finally have a console-quality Mario Kart game to play on the go. While all the portable Mario Kart games have been good enough, the console versions have always been superior by far. The fact that we can fit the entire Mario Kart 8 experience in our pockets now is a reality feels surreal. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe features all the tracks, characters, DLC and features from the orginal straight from the box. No unlocking... well actually scratch that, you do have to unlock the kart parts again. But all tracks and characters are ready to go from the start. If you never played MK8, you can expect a great arcade racing game with all the crazy combat action you can expect from the series. There's a few things you need to know. - Coins are back. Collect coins across the tracks to increase your max speed. - New items such as the Boomerang and the Pirahna Plant. - Antigrav mechanics, now you can ride your kart even on walls and upside down at certain sections. - As in Mario Kart 7, vehicles can be customized. You can glide through the air and drive underwater as well. - Mario Kart 8 for the first time in the series features cameo characters and tracks from other Nintendo games such as Zelda, Animal Crossing, Fzero, Excitebike and Splatoon. - Go all the way from 50cc up to 200cc for the first time. Yes, it is crazy fast and makes the game a lot harder than you'd expect. The Deluxe version brings a revamped Battle Mode that is actually fun to play, with the classic modes Coin Runners, Shine thieft, Balloon Battle, Bob Omb Blast and more. This definitely makes the experience feel more complete. It also brings back the ability to hold 2 items at the same time which hasn't been done since Gamecube's Mario Kart Double Dash. I don't know if the existance of this port means that Switch won't get its' own proper MK9. Hopefully it still does. Right now this is too much deja vu for my liking. But I do love MK8 and while I was ready for something new at this point, I'm just happy I can take this excellent gem wherever I go.
Review: Great Value - Works AMAZING and basically was brand new! I bought this item used for half what retail is and you can’t tell the difference! I say if you want to save money but still want a good quality game then buy used. 5/5 Stars

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is your body ready?**
A: Body ready :)

**Q: If I buy 2 switch consoles, do I need to also buy 2 of every game for the kids to play together on local?**
A: Unfortunately, it seems that you do need to purchase one copy of the game for each switch device. Unlike the xbox, which allows you to play head to head using two xboxes and two tv sets and ONE xbox account and ONE game copy (you can 'family share' to the other xbox and both users can use the same game copy). Sony and Nintendo seem to not allow this. That is why I bought two xboxes instead of Japanese game consoles.  Nintendo does not seem to allow sharing a game with a friend locally to play head to head using two switch consoles. So good luck finding 7 other people with nintendo switches and convincing them all to buy the same game so you can all play together with your own consoles in the same room. To do that you need to all play using 8 controllers on ONE switch, which will probably need to be hooked up to a tv so everyone can see the screen. Even the switch lite does not allow one person to use the built in physical controls and one person to use a wireless controller: both must have wireless controllers. Nintendo seems to not understand various (obvious) mobile use case scenarios very well, i.e. head to head or nintendo lite with a friend who has an external controller. Thats why I gave up and just use my phone with the razer junglecat controllers so I can have a portable device that meets all use case scenarios and is way more portable as well.

**Q: If i have bought the wii u, will i have to rebuy this version?**
A: If you bought the Wii U version of MK8, and you think you don't need this, you're fooling yourself.  It's everything in a single cartridge plus you can play it online, and something they dont really advertise much is if you use ethernet adapters the gane will support 8 players over LAN!  it also isn't buggy or glitchy.  also, you cant leave your living room with a wii u,  i can play mk8d with or vs my friends, while riding the bus using my phone as a hotspot.  its amazing.  honestly if you're sitting on the wii u version thinking you are good.... wake up

**Q: If we preordered this game will the physical copy actually arrive on the 28th or be shipped out on the 28th?**
A: I preordered mine. It's the 28th and still hasn't shipped, even though it claims it'll get here by 8pm tonight. Highly doubt that though since it's the day of and still not shipped.UPDATE: Just as I suspected, it never arrived on time. I've contacted customer service and the lady told me they had trouble with stocking the game to fulfill all the preorders. I asked for my account to be credited since they failed to meet guaranteed delivery date, and was instead given a one month extension of my prime membership once the game actually decides to ship. I asked her what the new delivery date would be and I was told she does not have that information, so I'm guessing I'll get it in a week or more! The customer service lady was nice, and the fault is not hers. But come on Amazon. How hard is it to say "Okay, we have 500 copies of the game. That means we can only allow 500 pre-orders!" No? Too much sense there Amazon? Ridiculous!

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!
