Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
★★★★☆ — A portable joyride
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is another fine contender for a Switch system-seller. It’s the classic karting game you know and love, now available with home console visuals on the go. If you have a favourite Nintendo franchise too, it’s probably included in this package. It’s an understatement to say I’ve been playing the heck out of the Animal Crossing themed characters and track.
This ‘Deluxe’ release includes a bunch of DLC packs that came out after the original Wii U release, and also features a much better Battle mode.
If you somehow managed to own a Wii U this might be a possible one to miss, but otherwise it’s the perfect Switch party game, especially thanks to the Switch’s Joy-Con’s, which allow for instant split-screen with no other purchase.
