Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - REVIEW (Nintendo Switch)

[@Imsofab]

510 hours. you gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers.

[@spindash64]

Borek Adam I got 280 playtime hours on a failed run of Pokémon white 2. On just one playthrough.

[@AmethystLeslie]

Borek Adam *looks at her 200 hours of MK8 and weeps* The sad thing is that this is my most played Wii U game.... but at least i spent 700 hours on Pokemon Moon and that's not even my most played game on the 3DS?

[@mrmaxmo1670]

Despite that being potentially 21.5 days straight?

[@carlosgonzalez1937]

truepixartronphan how do you check

[@AmethystLeslie]

Carlos Gonzalez Activity Log. 3DS version is better because you can list your games by most played or alphabetically or by longest avarage session. Wii U version lists every game you played by day or month, i believe, and that's all it lists.

[@cardangizpingui385]

Who else came back to Nintendo consoles because of the switch? I did :)

[@jashtheprince]

I've been a Nintendo fan since 2005

[@johncantu6746]

Me lol last Nintendo system I owned was a 64 and I was like 5 years old so all these games are new to me 😌

[@selfanothermostlikely478]

Same! Had a wii and a 3ds, when overtime they were put back because of school and stuff it's nice to return to something amazing like the switch. Kinda glad I wasn't around for the wii u days.

[@supersmashbro596]

fucking sheep. i never left! uwu i will admit though, being able to play games on the go is enticing enough for me. so yes, i do have mario kart 8 and mario kart 8 deluxe

[@MikeVideos327]

My last Nintendo product was the n64. I bought the switch on black Friday and I am just loving it.

[@gamruul3699]

Gamexplains rewiew is the best at least for me because there's no scoring system And they disclose the history with the franchise(well i mean who didn't grew with mario kart) and that's really important

[@EthanBradburyVlogs]

Gamruul eat shit

[@gamruul3699]

And this is the highlighted reply...

[@aquaarmour4924]

what is your problem

[@gamruul3699]

Naman Hegde I'm sorry (uses the luigi death stare)

[@dadangsudadang5963]

highlighted reply means it's the comment you're gonna reply to. Mostly this happens when you access a reply from a notification.

[@MD_Hollywood.]

I'm just happy I skipped MK8 on the Wii U, so this will be a whole new experience for me. 🏁

[@sonicoooknightxx9011]

MD Hollywood MK8 was a great game! At least you'll enjoy what a few call the definitive version!

[@MD_Hollywood.]

SonicOOOKnight XX It's looking like the definitive version indeed... I'll be getting it on launch day for sure. I've been jonesing for a racing game on the Switch, and I held out on Fast RMX cause I knew this was coming.

[@sonicoooknightxx9011]

MD Hollywood Hope you enjoy it! One of my favorite things about Mk8 is its tracks details! The subway is great with it!

[@wushupants]

You're gonna love it. It really leaves a lasting impression. I honestly don't know how Nintendo will top this one.

[@Monroah]

MD Hollywood Have fun, man! MK8's great, as is, so this extra content and portability make it a true gem (now, if only I had a Switch 😭).

[@spikyspikestheself-adverti147]

Reasons why I´m getting mk8 deluxe even though I have mk8 on wii u: -It´s Mario Kart 8 on the go! -It´s more chaotic(and i hope they improved the CPU´s as well, because they were way too easy) -Battle mode looks AWESOME! -It´s Mario Kart 8 on the go! -My Wii U is pretty much dead now that i got a switch so it´s much easier to just have mk8 on switch instead. -And It´s Mario Kart 8 on the go.

[@jamesdale709]

You missed out it's mk8 on the go 😂 but what else would you want from it I would of still bought it even if it was the same as the wii u version

[@DropDeezDrops]

You forgot Mario Kart 8 on the go

[@Breeze926]

My Verdict (from what I have seen) If you don't have Mario Kart 8 buy Deluxe If you do have Mario Kart 8 but without DLC buy Deluxe If you do have Mario Kart 8 with DLC wait for a price drop

[@Breeze926]

Lumine X A lot of stores offer discounts, even if it is not necessarily a price drop. I meant lower than MSRP, but my mind thought price drop.

[@camtwan1]

2 years and no price drop lol

[@maxh276]

3 years and a global pandemic and still no price drop lol

[@redgeoblaze3752]

With all the new characters they've added, I have a feeling that soon Mario kart will be like the racing equivalent of smash bros.

[@relevo86]

that would be AWESOME

[@Gontrand00]

But better

[@ozzie4863]

Spoiler: Mario is in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

[@portalpiggy]

Lord Ozzie Holy crap!!

[@mihd9874]

Lord Ozzie wow its like one of them luke skywalker thingys

[@ffion8840]

spoilers dude reported

[@ff_crafter]

Noooooooo now i know mario on mk8d

[@JustSomeBlueGuy]

Lord Ozzie HOW DARE YOU WHY WOULD YOU RUIN THE GAME LIKE THAT. :p

[@switchnx]

Why is no one talking about how Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has sold 43.35 Million Units, surpassing Super Mario Bros. to become the best selling Mario game of all time?

[@asoiaf__]

GameXplain is amazing

[@valhallaoutcast]

This will be my first Mario Kart since 64 ...cant wait to try it

[@rayen5021]

Did you try it already?

[@EduardoCanizalez]

My case as well. I'm more than happy!

[@someguy1865]

Mine was Mario Kart Wii

[@DPaintingC]

I really dont like how they dont make you unlock the classes and tracks anymore. I always loved that. Dont understand why they would change it?

[@AcesofJustice]

The Super Horn is not useless in first place it protects you from Blue shells AND other shells too if you time it right

[@lunamaster123]

AcesofJustice It kinda is though. It's the only protection from blue shells, so you don't want to waste it. If you use it on other things, it is kinda a waste since shells and bananas do the same thing. Plus, horns are rare while blue shells aren't.

[@durkadur27]

actually noob, a boost mushroom can help you dodge a blue shell.

[@lunamaster123]

durkadur27 I totally forgot. Though how often does first place get mushrooms?

[@asoiaf__]

Nintendo, just take my money and give it to me!!!!!!!

[@ratedr7845]

the switch, THINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Rickby]

Sheldon J. Plankton I'm assuming you are talking about them giving you the game

[@tikii6858]

That profile pic just makes this comment gold

[@MichaelTheAwesome32]

You didn't mention that the course maps are gray instead of blue now. That's the most important change.

[@dtp2630]

I don't understand why people are complaining about this games pricing for a number of reasons 1:The original Mario kart 8 costed 60 bucks, and that was without the dlc and new deluxe stuff. 2: It's incredibly stupid to think that Nintendo would make the game cheaper just to please the small fan base that even had a Wii U, let alone owned the game. 3:It's a port. It's made for the people who didn't get to play it on an older console. It's not meant to be a completely new game And this is coming from someone who owns the Wii U version EDIT: And in terms of the argument of there being a discount if you have the game, if you sell the game and use the money from it towards the switch version, that's essentially a discount cause you're not going to need the Wii U version anyways

[@chris-tx2sw]

Oreo the Gamer Dog yea seriously its ur fault if u supported the Wii U I personally didn't because I knew that was not the right direction for Nintendo

[@Schnickelo]

THANK YOU!

[@SpadeOfNades]

You just earned a like! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@mustachedchomp6873]

Some of them say that the ones that have the Wii U one should have a discount, how would they do that?

[@TripleJump]

Oreo the Gamer Dog I get that, why can't I get a discount? NNID is linked to My Nintendo so it wouldn't be difficult to implement.

[@GoldMario777]

2:33 Runs into one item box, gets two items. Seems legit.

[@GoldMario777]

I know, but I said that Andre ran into a SINGLE item box, and still got two items. Don't want do be rude, but you better learn to read properly before replying.

[@drewcatlett755]

Double check that. He ran into two separate single boxes.

[@GoldMario777]

Look in slow motion: both slots got filled at the same time at the first item box.

[@drewcatlett755]

huh. good catch. I wonder if there's an option to make all item pickups doubles.

[@GoldMario777]

I doubt it, Andre would have told us it there was. btw I think it's because all of the item boxes in Toad Turnpike move across the track, and Nintendo might have forgot to apply the doublebox model to these. If true, it should also happen in Baby Park.

[@Boog2811]

I played Mario Kart 8, but my copy stopped working, so I'm definitely getting Deluxe!

[@marumisu9560]

the graphics are so good. there's so many effects happening at once

[@chillcat7368]

Welp, looks like I'm going to buy it after all. :)

[@SupaDaBloopa]

#SwitchBestConsole I really can't wait for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe! That 500 hours is what my Switch will look like soon enough, once Mario Kart 8 Deluxe comes out. I already preordered it. Just a week more to wait.

[@leocallaghan6336]

What's your hours now ?

[@RogersBase]

SEE ME IN URCHIN UNDERPASS, ANDRE

[@GameXplain]

+RogersBase You're already dead, my friend :)

[@RogersBase]

YOHOHOHOHO

[@SuperSakura09]

RogersBase a

[@kath8944]

OK

[@jamesedwardford589]

🏁🏁🎅🎅🦄

[@bobburger7067]

Gotta love Andre and his videos

[@someperson4712]

Thank you for mention the last player standing balloon battle. It seems like players forget about this mode, which is why I think battle mode in Mario kart 8 wiiu, is better, because it has that last man standing mechanic.

[@williamlebel]

"You can change your character and your kart between races in online mode" OMG, PREORDERED

[@maryclark674]

now i know why i'm so excited for Super Mario Odyssey. it's the first Mario game in a long time to actually look alive. when Mario Kart 8 came out, lamented that there was more life, more detail in a racing game of all things. it annoyed me to see sterile worlds in the platformers, the games where exploring mattered, where a living world would be welcome. Toad's Turnpike and other city tracks fascinated me. i wished for a Mario game with an explorable city. and years later my wish will come true! i'm not just excited for a Mario game. i'm excited for the Worlds in a Mario game.

[@carboneden4106]

why is Kirby not a character........ Sakuraiiii!!

[@pickledfricknutmcgee465]

Kristopher Taylor Sakurai doesn't work with kirby anymore though

[@patricioruiz3346]

Pickled Fricknut Mcgee He does, but just checking the development is fine

[@anonymouswaddledee2805]

I can confirm that Kirby is indeed a character. He's got a whole franchise about him, of course he's a character. :)

[@millieman76]

Kristopher Taylor Because Sakurai works at Sora inc and not Nintendo

[@Galaxia53]

Because we needed Tanooki Mario.

[@NinjaristicNinja]

I have Mario Kart 8 for Wii U, but I never bought any of the DLC's even though I wanted to, so this is a good chance to get them along with a new battle mode.

[@boneheadnumber1409]

I have smash bros on 3ds and I've put 500+ hours on it. I NEED MORE SMASH BROOOSSS!

[@Jared-qp7xe]

How?

[@patriotsquill]

Mario Cart DS was was one of my all-time favorite games. It was basically perfect. I could see myself getting a switch just for this game.

[@ANXI8TY]

It seems like an awesome game. The graphics looks great along with the newer looks of the game in general compared to the previous games that I still own. I just don’t think the price of $59.99 for retail is reasonable at all, $40 maximum as the price would’ve been fine.

[@PG-sy6dh]

Everyone: has Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Me who has Mario Kart 8 for the Wii U: 👁👄👁

[@SgtSlug]

There's 42 characters, not 35. Maybe add an annotation at 0:26

[@Jacquerel27]

Hopefully they end up adding more courses as DLC down the line. I wouldn't mind if they kept this as the only Mario Kart for Switch, but continue to add more content.

[@polishfalcon7]

This aged well

[@OmegaKatana]

This aged so well

Great video especially for someone like me who has the WiiU version.

[@DefaultName-nj8cv]

Holy crap this game looks like a blast, I never really got a Wii U but I'm definitely picking this up because the last Mario Kart game I played was 7

[@simenstory3321]

The battle mode looks insane!

[@SteveNathn]

Watches while playing Mario Kart 8. Video starts with Royal Raceway. Is playing Royal Raceway.

[@switchspeedster2671]

People who said first won't be getting a Switch anytime soon

[@ianjames6362]

wtf u talking about .. i got a switch on day one bisssh

[@DragonRagovi]

So....you won't be getting a Switch anytime soon?

[@jwest5178]

I was first to get a switch at my gamestop(or at least be in line preorders got there's first)

[@Kenexxa]

David Ramirez first... I already have a Switch :P

[@taylorknight5702]

David Ramirez Whoops I'm playing mine now

[@gavindalf2547]

I'm getting it for three reasons: It's a more enhanced version of the game I love My friends didn't really bother with the Wii U, but they have the Switch so I can play MK8 with them now It's Nintendo

[@thecreeperzone375]

510 hours divided by 275 times played = 1.85454545455 hours per play session.

[@MrSuperleobros]

Gamexplain always makes excellent, non biased and well thought out reviews. Thank you Andre!

[@samasparkles3084]

How can someone have such a satisfying voice?!

[@symptomofsouls]

Hey GameXplain could you do a video on the stats for all of the characters and vehicle parts, and how many coins you need to unlock them? I think the community would appreciate it.

[@AsheCyberia]

Dank Memes can melt steel beams

[@imdead5479]

Jet beams can't melt Steel fuel

Matt Newell can't stand seal memes

[@AsheCyberia]

[@mustachedchomp6873]

Steel memes can't freeze dank beams.

[@AmaraChanTV]

The coins aren't useless. Even when you get 10 coins the additional coins give you slight speed boost.

[@MrGamerTH]

I was kinda disappointed that there were no new racing tracks, but I preordered it anyways so it doesn't matter LUL

[@MegaHOLAAAAAA]

ssbThomas something I would do lol (not this time but I was tempted)

[@VSaccount]

ssbThomas stop fucking using twitch emotes outside twitch!!! rrRREEEE!!!

[@zumakito9334]

Honestly, for me personally, it really isn't worth it. I bought all the DLC and the game day one back when it got released. This game wouldn't leave such a sour taste in my mouth if the Switch actually had more games. I wouldn't mind skipping it as much, but this is a HUGE title for everyone EXCEPT a small amount of people who bought the game on the Wii U, and sadly I'm part of this number. I liked Mario Kart 8 and all, but this purchase is just way too hard to justify. I might pick this game up when it goes on sale, but as of right now I refuse to play this game. It's a shame that people on here are actually saying "it's your fault for supporting the Wii U". So, what? Are they just gonna keep giving us these ports that offer almost nothing to those of us that already played the gane? I know MK8D has a LOT of content but most of it was in the old game. Anyway, I won't be picking this up and instead am going to pick up Kamiko and Puyo Puyo Tetris. Sorry, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, you just aren't worth it for me.

[@millieman76]

[yoshi voice] hap hmmm So DONT buy it. Jesus christ, whine whine whine is all I read in your comment.

[@thecplman1]

ssbThomas I know. I know it may or may not happen, but I hope they'll add at least a couple new DLC cups to MK8D.

[@sashoboss2121]

unlocking all the characters and cups is like the best part of mario kart

[@Angelo254]

7.8 Too much Hype.

[@fuzziestofpondsgaming5278]

Snivy254 I love your profile pic

[@Angelo254]

FuzziestOfPonds Gaming Lol, thanks

[@zenv9180]

"laughing out loud" are you really

[@NintendoGamingCentral]

Before I start I am a big fan of your channel I have been checking back every day for new videos and they are all equally impressive and well thought. I like Mario Kart too and I think that you should in my opinion (of course if you don't want to that's fine by me) e-mail Nintendo on your review and Q&A so they acknowledge your interest and other people's because (if you want to) it is preferable that you do it because these are your videos and if someone else were to do it from your videos it wouldn't be right and also since it is an upgrade on Mario Kart 8 it could be even more successful than Mario Kart Wii. I mean they could do two battle cups like they did in Mario Kart Wii for example which was pretty cool in my opinion because of having a 'demo' of the previous Mario Kart games in Battle Mode.

[@Trickle_Official]

OH, SNAP BOI! J O Y C O N B O I Z EARLY SQUAD

[@Gnarfledarf]

Thanks, I didn't have my daily dose of cancer yet.

[@Rickby]

[@Trickle_Official]

Gnarfledarf HAHAHA! My thoughts, precisely! I figured I might as well do it once before I die!

[@Gnarfledarf]

【Jinzo /J10/】 Let's pray that day will come soon.

[@Trickle_Official]

TheSicarius Workin' on it!

[@Aidea._.]

I'm getting this for the battle mode and the portability. Just like Andre, I played Mario kart 8 a lot on the Wii U, and am glad that I can get an upgraded version with the DLC that I paid for already in it, that is portable unlike the Wii U version.

[@1frank007]

Glad I paid for all the dlc back when MK8 when it came out on Wii U. Entirely not worth buying this again on the Switch, pretty disappointed they didn't make this more accessible for those with the Wii U game already, like 50% off on the eshop or something. I understand they want to use it to sell the Switch but it kinda shits on those of us which purchased the Wii U and the Switch. I definitely won't be purchasing this myself, not really worth the price tag to play with a few new characters and battle mode.

[@mrconroy4672]

1frank007 Nah it is

[@gamer_tamer6912]

Darren 88 nah it isn't

[@SpadeOfNades]

Look,it is only worth it if you don't have the game or you don't have all the DLC.Plus,only 6 million people have the game so if the number of switches sold increased then the game might do better than MK8.Plus,the original MK8 costed $60 and it didnt have all the DLC and extra stuff so boom,I rest my case

[@mrconroy4672]

Gamer_tamer Nah it is

[@mrconroy4672]

Saeed Alhosani Wait for sales numbers if you don't believe me. It is worth the $60

[@DisneyMusicVideos]

I own a Wii U which I bought back in December 2014 along with Mario Kart 8, but don't own a Switch yet, but am planning to buy one soon. Mario Kart 8 has easily been my favorite Mario Kart of all time. I own all of the others in the series as well & still play them all from time to time. I was originally not gonna buy MK8 Deluxe when I buy a Switch, but now I'm going to & will be worth it. I would gladly buy any of the Mario Kart games again! Nintendo could possibly stop supporting online mode for the Wii U within the next year since it's been discontinued for months now & that the Switch has been a huge sales success so far.

[@yabbadabbindude]

and don't forget it's portable now

[@martianwoodpecker]

I might have to pick this up after all. I'd love to introduce my 3-year-old daughter to Mario Kart and the auto-accelerate and steering options would let us all play as a family. She's tried playing MK8 and forgets to accelerate or steer, so this would be perfect. Not looking forward to rebuying this game plus more joy cons though.

[@Hurplol]

Mohahah! *Fire breath* Now that my son is in the game we are going to push mario off the race track! :D *Scary laugh*

[@Georgeharris99]

hurp123 lol123 shut yo bitch ass up

[@belleaimee738]

Great review, Andre! I'll be a double dipper on this one! Will be great to have on the Switch!

[@himbones9965]

35 characters? it's 42

[@wiljan4237]

43 if you count gold mario

[@himbones9965]

W Verkuil 63 if you count literally everyone

[@wiljan4237]

Is gold mario a costume? I didn't think so

[@himbones9965]

W Verkuil Where else on the roster would he go?

[@wiljan4237]

yeah you're right

[@martina-nl8jr]

I am 11 now and I had the VERY first mario cart game for my dsi when I was four, I still have it now and still play it till this day. I will never get sick of mario cart and i am getting it for my switch next week and im super exited to try it out :)

[@heathergames7087]

Just got the switch lite...wanting to make some friends lol

[@gocart1266]

Blue yellow or gray?

[@happyaccidents156]

I can't image having a nintendo system without mario cart. It's a good time even for people who aren't big gamers.

[@Daeyrat]

Andre, at 2m55s, you say "but now, you can keep it as a backup item". You said in another video (50 questions) that you can't switch the items. How can you keep something as a backup? Only if you pick it as the secondary item, no? If the horn shows up as your first item, nothing changes, it seems. Thanks in advance.

[@Nintenrock]

I wonder if you can swap out items like in Mario Kart: Double Dash.

[@SpadeOfNades]

Nintenrock Sorry, but you can't since there aren't 2 characters in one kart like MKDD

[@Nope0823]

I never had dlc so for me it's -16 new races -12 new characters -Yoshi and Shy guy colors -New karts -Battle mode -2 items, purple drift, self driving etc. -1080p 60fps

[@YermTerragon]

didnt even mention how its also available to play on the go. which is great for me because i hated MK7

[@marcellfurst8831]

someone got a lil triggered there, eh?

[@YermTerragon]

King Bradberry the game mechanics were completely broken. you could ride in 1st place for the entire first lap and then get hit by one red shell and never be able to reclaim first place. it was the first Mario Kart i played where i felt like skill was thrown out entirely. you just have to hope nothing goes wrong. meanwhile with Mario Kart 8, i could be hit by multiple blue shells and red shells each lap and still be able to finish at a good place. MK8 felt balanced and fair, MK7 felt broken and aggravating

[@dadangsudadang5963]

King Bradberry your efforts are worthless. go away troll.

[@yaronos3926]

It didn't have Waluigi

[@YermTerragon]

Yaronos, another good point. even aside from Waluigi the roster wasnt that good

[@xeveemon]

Honestly, I am very excited for this port! When I first got my Switch and had actual time to sit down and play with it, I noticed right then and there that this system is what I would want to play Mario Kart and Smash Bros on. I like how the Switch controls and I like the availability of being able to take my games anywhere I go with me. I also like how the buttons on the Joy Cons don't feel exactly like the 3DS and instead feel more like the Wii U Pro Controller, this means that I will be able to play a Mario Kart game on the go while not having to experience much pain by hand cramps longer than Mario Kart 7 on the 3DS! In Mario Kart 7, my hands would cramp badly just after I get past one three lap track, and that just hurts when you want to play Mario Kart on the go. But with this Switch port I will be able to finally play one of my favorite games wherever I go without having to worry about hand cramps as much and the Switch just overall feels like the system that I would want to play Mario Kart on! :)

[@dadangsudadang5963]

Have you tried pressing y to accelerate? That reduced my cramps a lot

[@bi0hazard921]

I still don't believe this is worth a full 59.99 retail price

[@djapster]

did you buy the wii u version?

[@mrconroy4672]

DeathGamingXP Nah it is

[@durkadur27]

its worth80 at least since it includes dlc.

[@lifesonelongskirmish4004]

DeathGamingXP dude I don’t understand what’s the point of the port then? People that already spent 80dollars+ dont wanna re-spend that on the switch. I can’t even afford the switch so I think it’s nice that Nintendo included the dlc for free and Improved the frame rate. Especially for people that don’t make a lot. I’ll just watch videos for now I gotta eat. 😂😂😂

[@frankie4875]

Goku Son boo its for the people who didnt have a wiiu (alot of people)

[@Rubberman202]

Actually, I found that the Megahorn is useful for dealing with all shells, not just blue ones. Those Red Shells are far more frequent are are an absolute pain to deal with, and if you don't have a shell or a banana to protect you then the Megahorn's your best bet.

[@chickeninaburger5321]

I mean all of this content should have been in the original game

[@pickledfricknutmcgee465]

Milkshake541 I have it on wii u so I'm not buying it for the battle mode that should have been on wii u anyway

[@Shrekinspace]

I mean I understand the DLC tracks since more that would be more than the regular amount and it would be odd to have Splatoon characters when it was released.

[@blackxfoxx9815]

I'm an xbox gamer and I was given the nintendo Switch today as a present and I got this game it looks cool and still don't understand the multiplayer online thing yet it says to go to a PC for an account

[@Pokie75]

Thank you so very much for using proper grammar. Too often I have to read 'should of' on comments.

[@z06dave]

I've had an on/off affair with Nintendo. I've had most the Gameboy generations and finally stopping at the first gen Advance. Because back then, trading games and equipment didn't mean you had to remortgage, I could afford to own an N64 on several occasions, I have very fond memories with that console. Then years later I tried a DS and literally fell in love immediately. The operating system and friend capabilities, online gaming, the genius adaption of a dual screen with amazing titles to play (I played Metroid Prime Hunters to death). Then I didn't touch it for years, the Switch (lite) to me was just an evolution of Nintendo's excellent handhelds. I finally decided to bite the bullet and pick up a Switch Lite. So far I've only really got Pokémon, but its honestly amazing, playing a childhood game that's as beautifully made as this, a perfect remake of the classic I played to death is simply a joy. I loved playing Mario kart online on the DS so I think this will be my next game! Also dying to find out more about the upcoming Metroid Prime 4! Oh man! I should definitely of grown out of this shit by now but I can't help but love a good game.

[@soy_limo]

*This is like a 60$ DLC*

[@jashtheprince]

Mario Kart 8 on Wii U is $49.99, This game for Switch is just $10 more with all the dlc, enhanced battle mode, portability, and slightly improved graphics.

[@Alexander-td4kg]

JTP Jash + Online features

[@durkadur27]

normally dlc doesnt include the entire base game but okay

[@soy_limo]

+JTP Jash The thing is that instead of paying 10$ forma the improved graphics and some characters, I have to buy the whole game again... But, it was imposible to do a disscount for the people that bought the original game... I think that it is a very good game and people will enjoy it, but I cannot spend money for some little improvements...

[@durkadur27]

wii u cant support improved graphics and that console has been discontinued.

[@RBPSvideos]

i have played 287 hours of mk8. it is my second favorite mariokart game ever. i will 100% be getting this for the switch and i recommend that anybody else should too

[@TheGrassySceptile]

All I really care about is FREE DLC!!! Right?

[@brents7077]

TheGrassySceptile videos Pokemon videos Sun and Moon can you

[@spindash64]

Honestly, 2 item boxes is more bringing back the ability to drag items behind you than anything, since 8 made it so doing that prevented you from putting another item in that slot

[@gold4963]

Entire Review: "It's basically exactly the same as MK8 with just a few minor changes. It's totally not worth $60."

[@RasenRendanX]

Not everyone has the OG MK8 Tho

[@ChrisCrossCrunch]

Unless u didn't get the Wii U version or any of the DLC like me.

[@asoiaf__]

GOLD 1515 It is to me, I got the game and bought both DLC packs

[@metallicmadness6322]

Actually watch the video before commenting.

[@chris-tx2sw]

GOLD 1515 salty ass Wii U owner haha fucking dumbass

[@outseteddy6306]

I LOVE that they added changing your character online without leaving the lobby!

[@samuelbaugh4952]

I only ever got to play Mario Kart 8 at my friends house, getting my own copy with the four DLC cups, characters, a battle mode very similar to Double Dash's has me stoked, day one buy for me!

[@TheRealDustinNunn]

It would have been nice if Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was released as an update patch for the Wii U version of Mario Kart 8.

0:56 Hey no need to feel bad, I remember spending over 600 hours on pokemon emerald's battle frontier. Eventually the repair sticker behind my GBA:SP peel off.

[@lightvoid7089]

Wasn't too fond of this game when it was announced, considering that they didn't even add any new race tracks. However, after this review and seeing how cool battle mode is, this game seems lit

[@fgfhjfhjfbhfghf5771]

Last man standing balloon battle would be terrible with how many players Mario Kart supports nowadays, it worked in 64 because it was only 4 friends sitting together, in the unlikely case you got taken out early you at least had friends with you and wouldn't be waiting for too long. But now with local multiplayer dead and how chaotic the game is there is a good chance of dying early and waiting alone for the match to finally end.

The ability to hold more than one item was a thing you could do in mario kart 7.

[@itsmeeaustin5866]

Yes but you had to be actively holding the item by holding the button

[@shailston]

I never owned it on Wii U, but I will get it on Switch. I hope when they get the virtual console going that I can download all the older MarioKart games as well. I LOVED MK64 and the original SNES game.

[@victorintveld339]

you forgot to mention the portability of the switch, thats the most important one imo!

[@MarkCabaniss]

GameXplain is officially my favorite video game review channel. Well, them and SomecallmeJohnny. :)

[@GameXplain]

+Mark Cabaniss :)

[@MarkCabaniss]

Thanks for that! Glad to support you! :)

[@joelpetersmedia]

This was the video that introduced me to GameXplain. Can't believe it's been nearly 4 years

[@GameXplain]

Wow, we can't either! Where does the time go?!

[@Ronnie06spartan]

Still should have included AT LEAST one or two new tracks, or even an entirely new cup. I'm gonna get this game eventually, but I'm in no hurry, since I already have the Wii U version + all the DLC.

[@daffodyl_n]

I think the fact that this is on the Switch and you can play it anywhere you go is always a very large insentive to purchase this game. If I had bought it on the WiiU, I definitely would trade up just for that alone. I never got it on the WiiU though, so I'm ridiculously excited for this game.

[@AidanDesigns]

Personally I didn't really mind the battle mode but now I see why people wanted classic battles back as it will be way more fun.

[@stride_gaming]

I can't wait for the "Luigi Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe" vids.

[@alexanderortega8365]

For all Nintendo, Gamexplain is the way to go

[@Magitroopa]

HYPE FOR NEXT FRIDAY!!!! Can't wait to finally play Mario Kart 8 on the go!

[@Medachod]

I'm still torn about 3-4 players not being at 60fps, the option not to choose the original retro course music and choosing Inklings over CAPTAIN FALCON OR EXCITE BIKER, but it'll still be a fun game. Also, this series officially became Nintendo Racing after Inklings were added.

[@phillyjones3028]

I didnt have a Wii U in my life, so this opportunity is the best one so far. Hoping Smash 4 Wii U (and Melee!!) has the same effect

[@Bennytek]

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was the first game I preordered, haha

[@wareforcoin5780]

I didn't get mk8 on the WiiU, so I'm glad to know I'm getting the version that makes the horn more useful, but I can't help but feel like I missed the original struggle. That's important to me. Knowing the real problems and defeating them makes a game. I might get the original _and_ the deluxe version.

[@wolowolowolowolowolowolowo2417]

Christmas (2017), I got a switch with mk8 deluxe. I'm so sorry if I sound like if I'm bragging, but I've own it for a little more than a day and already unlocked Gold Mario (I played for hours trying to unlock Gold Mario).

[@KhAnime]

Looks like Double Dash finally has a competitor for best Mario Kart thanks to MK8 Deluxe.

[@WralthChardiceVideo]

I just realized they more or less HAD to add double item boxes back into the game since every track had only 2 rows of item boxes compared to the usual 3 + additional ones that might be scattered around certain shortcuts and corners.

[@Rickby]

I'm only buying for bowser jr, unfortunately I can't take it to school cause people would laugh at me for having a Nintendo product for whatever reason
