## Description

Product Description Nintendo. Box Contains Cartridge

Review: Fun, entertaining and entertains all the family - Endless Fun for All Ages Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is hands-down one of the best racing games on the Nintendo Switch. The controls are smooth and intuitive, making it easy for newcomers to jump in, while modes like 200cc and the dual-item slots provide enough challenge for experienced players. The variety of characters and tracks is fantastic, and the visuals are vibrant and sharp, whether you’re playing in handheld or docked mode. Battle mode has also been revamped, giving more options for competitive fun. Playing locally with friends or online adds endless replayability. The only minor downside is that online matchmaking can sometimes be uneven, but it rarely detracts from the fun. Overall, it’s a must-have game that delivers hours of exciting, family-friendly entertainment.
Review: A Must-Buy for the Nintendo Switch - This is a fantastic game, accessible to those who do not frequently play video games but challenging and fun enough to keep avid gamers playing for hours. As someone who has owned previous Mario Kart games on the Nintendo DS, 3DS and Wii I can honestly say this is the best one so far and absolutely worth the money. Furthermore this is a game that can be enjoyed by all ages, great for those of a younger age but also fun for those a little older. I currently live in a shared flat at university and everyone is genuinely enjoying the game, including a couple of people who do not typically enjoy 'gaming'. PROS: - Works perfectly with the Switch. The game is fantastic both in handheld mode and on the TV. Being able to play with different types of controllers really makes it a comfortable and enjoyable experience. - Great as a party game and a solo game. Although we have mostly been playing multiplayer locally with large groups of us, I have had several hours of playing against the computer and on online multiplayer. It's a lot of fun regardless of playing with or without friends. - Gorgeous and visually stunning. The game is so bright and vivid, the colours really pop and the graphics are a huge improvement on previous games. I have experienced no lag or framerate drop whatsoever playing both handheld and on TV. - All courses unlocked. One thing I loved about this Mario Kart was that all the characters and courses were available right off the bat. There is no 'unlocking' certain courses, you can just go ahead and play. This is great if you will mainly use the game as a party game and don't want to waste time unlocking content. HOWEVER, not all the karts have been unlocked. This provides a good balance between offering lots of content immediately and encouraging players to keep playing and offering rewards for doing well. CONS: - Controller Lag Although there is no visual lag of the game, sometimes controller lag can be experienced with the joy cons. This is fairly infrequent however and happens mainly when the joy cons are running out of power or something has blocked their signal. But it is frustrating to have your kart refuse to turn or steer for a few seconds and could cost you a race. - Very little explanation or tutorial The game throws you right into the deep end without any real tutorial or information on the different ways to play the game. If you've played a previous Mario Kart game it will feel very familiar and easy to navigate, however if you have never played before or are new to racing games in general their might be a bit of a learning curve. However it is easy to pick up. - Local Multiplayer in handheld mode Although it is possible to play the game split screen whilst in handheld mode, I would not recommend it. The screen is big enough for one person to use, but splitting it for two people or even more makes it very small and hard to see what's going on. It would be suitable to play between two people in the back of a car let's say, but I wouldn't recommend large groups trying to gather around the tiny screen to play. Overall this is a fantastic game and a must buy if you have a Switch! It's a great family-friendly party game but also makes for a fun game if you want to play by yourself. I can guarantee that whoever you are, whatever age, you will get a lot of enjoyment out of the game.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Family Game - Great Addition to Mario Kart Series!
*by C***G on 14 February 2024*

Brilliant game, have thoroughly enjoyed times playing it in many instances. Is a lovely new addition to the Mario Kart franchise, I feel it’s awesome for long term fans and as a family friendly game or party game. There’s some amazing new features added which you can apply to individual players that make it significantly easier for those who are new to the game, new to racing games or gaming in general, which are great added features for very young inexperienced kids or older people who haven’t been introduced to gaming before, and allows them to still keep up with players who’re more experienced despite their lesser skill levels, therefore still makes it an enjoyable game for people who would otherwise be incapable of playing and keeping up (and always finishing very last place just defeats the purpose for them and the fun). For example I’ve been gaming most of my life, nearly 20 years now, but my mum always hated Mario Kart because she really struggles loads with racing games (she’s good at some other genres, but cannot cope with racing games), however the newer in this more recent title of the Mario Kart franchise allowed her to play, participate together with me (while I had the features turned off since I’m very experienced with these things) and still have fun since she was actually keeping on track with the help of the features and could still compete with me and beat the other AIs well, it’s made some lovely experiences for us both when normally she wouldn’t be able, or want to play these type of games. Very much recommended definitely. I can easily see this as being highly accessible to beginners, new gamers, very young kids, elderly, or any age that doesn’t know gaming that well, as well as long term fans of the franchise and experienced players. Really awesome family game, fully 👍🏻
