I have noticed that some of the details have been changed and not always for the better. Not to mention, I've owned just about every Mario Kart game that has ever released over the years, so revisiting some of these remastered tracks is a very nostalgic experience. So being able to check out these new Mario Kart DLC tracks really livens things ups. However, that also means it's been five years since the Deluxe version got any significant updates. Since then the game has enjoyed enormous success, holding the place of the best-selling Nintendo Switch game of all time - 43.35 million units sold as of the latest reporting.

It released on the failed Wii U in 2014 but then was ported in its deluxe form to Nintendo Switch as a launch title in 2017. This makes sense given that the original Mario Kart 8 is eight years old. It's very approachable thanks to the optional kiddie controls, which allow people of any age or skill level to enjoy themselves.īecause of this playing frequency, my household has become very familiar with the courses the base game offers, to the point of them having lost some of their luster. In my house, we frequently pull this racing game out for family gatherings or whenever friends visit with their small children. That really depends on how much of a Mario Kart player you are.
