Mario kart 8 deluxe for nintendo switch

After The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Nintendo is back to gambling heavily on its Switch with a title that plays across the entire console generation. This time it's up to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, one of its most recognizable and accessible titles.

Let's see what is hidden behind the suffix "Deluxe"!

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - Review in Spanish

The best graphics in Mario Kart to date

The design of course remains the same, but Nintendo takes advantage of raising resolutions and showing that the Switch is superior to Wii U.

As the experts at Digital Foundry analyzed, this game runs at FullHD and 60fps when in TV mode, and 720p 60fps in portable mode! As seen in the video, not only the jump is in resolution but also in the quality of textures and patterns. The Switch shows off its NVidia X1 muscle in front of those who say its rival is smartphones and portable consoles.

In the multiplayer mode of 3 or 4 runners, the game area is reduced on the screen of the Switch or a small TV and it is difficult for us to see what happens. We don't recommend playing long sessions like this, and that's why Nintendo limits LAN multiplayer to 2 players per console, up to a total of 8 (4 consoles).

Large number of controls

Of course, the Japanese company has not missed the opportunity to show how to implement motion control. We can play:

• With the joy-con attached, moving the console or with the joystick. With the joy-con uncoupled, also with movement or joystick. We can use the grip or relax the arms! With the joy-con uncoupled, we put them horizontal and share them with a (before starting) friend. The included strap will help us to better press the R and L buttons and the steering wheel accessory takes us back to the glorious days of the Wii. With the Pro controller, which has better buttons and joystick, we can also play conventionally or with movement.

This freedom is added to the driving aid modes that we can activate. Not stepping off the track, spinning like speed and automatically accelerating has allowed me, for the first time, to play with my grandmother. I can't show you the rattles we've been through (or I'm out of tapers), but I'm starting to believe it's a social console. In the absence of a modern online.

My recommendation, so that someone who is very lost understands the mechanics without stress, is to play a VS race with him. The excitement of the championship or the battle will not be overwhelming and you will relax so that your intuition does the rest.

And we cannot forget about accessibility. Games are for everyone, and the only barriers are the ones we have to break. Thanks to the motion controls, many players who have difficulty with conventional controls are enjoying Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on Nintendo Switch. Said with very close personal experience.

Extended Battle Mode

The biggest criticism Mario Kart 8 received for Wii U was the little variety of Battle mode. And Nintendo has taken note.

Now we have the opportunity to lose our friends and family in various ways of fighting. In teams or all against all, the modalities are: balloon battle, bob-ombardeo, piranha patrol, coin battle and assault on the sun.

In all of them the games are frantic, and we must unlearn to run in Mario Kart. It is no longer a matter of pressing the right button for three laps, but of looking around, where to go and brake when you play.

Do not feel bad for being the last: the first will have a difficult time

However, the Mario Kart wants everyone to have a good time, giving luck to those who are last and making life difficult for the first. It does this by tying the probability of obtaining valuables in boxes to the momentary position in the race. We think it also adjusts the CPU difficulty.

And what is its result? Compensation works, but not for everyone. Whoever has difficulty climbing in the race receives many valuable items with which affects the performance of the rest and manages to climb positions. But whoever has the ease to normally go first, their items are limited to coins, bananas, and green shells.

Taking! They touched me… bananas… again…

Deluxe means rehash?

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the first game for the Nintendo Switch that takes a title already released on Wii U, expands it and launches it on the new console. Anyway, there is always the question: is it the same game or does it bring us a new experience?

It is not the future Mario Kart 9. Like many other new generations of consoles, very successful titles from the previous generation receive a port. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a game that expands on the Wii U game port. It contains the DLC content from the first moment and adds the battle modes that fans asked for.

The Deluxe Edition brings an enhanced experience to an already highly acclaimed and fun game, and the portability of the Nintendo Switch changes the tables entirely. Being able to improvise a game of up to 8 runners in up to HD graphics and 60fps anywhere is hilarious. My friends ask me to bring it when they invite me to dinner! I've been invited more often lately…

Final words and conclusion about Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

They have not only added the second box to use objects: this version of Mario Kart is the most complete and best to date. We have noticed how Nintendo has done its homework and truly says that laptop is no less than desktop . The features of the Nintendo Switch allow you to take with you everywhere the racing game that is perhaps the most fun and universal.

With my friends and family I have competed and I had a good time with the most skilled and with those who took command for the first time. And, in online mode, I've sweated the tires so they wouldn't beat me up.

If the games on Nintendo Switch, both their own and those of third parties, are going to be all like this, we have a great console in hand! This game will continue to be worthwhile for those who take the Nintendo Switch in a few years.

ADVANTAGE	DISADVANTAGES
+ Great fun	- The handicap to the first ones can become unfair
+ Accessible, motion control	- It may not justify the purchase to whoever has it on Wii U with DLCs
+ Better laptop graphics
+ Revamped battle mode
+ Much content, the most complete
