+Arda Arda - Only by a certain tricky use of statistics, based on the popularity of Forbes' NON-gaming sections. It would be nowhere near the top if you could actually look into the average "hardcore" gamer's mind (by hardcore, I just mean the people that pay attention enough to games that they read news about them and make use of reviews, etc). That, and, Kotaku, one of the biggest gaming sites (ugh, unfortunately) constantly links to them, and drives their traffic there instead of their own site. But no one ever accused anyone at Gawker Media of being smart, so....
These games are some of the most intense, joyful and fun games ever. It's remarkabel how so many other developers have tried to copy the kart-formula over the years, but no one has really never managed to come just somewhat close to emulating the perfectness of this genre Nintendo pioneered.
Thomas Lundbæk i agree with you there these sort of games and other sort of nintendo games where my childhood and i have soo many memories of just sitting down with friends and family and Playing these games. To be fair nintendo is the only company who can make modern games based of older franchises and enhance them to any audience
"like a game for no reason". Dude, I don't like every game, I like good games. But if theres a good game, regardless of who made it, I don't get why people hate it other than being a little kid with a loyalty complex to a company. There aint that many good games, you should enjoy them when they do come out. I mean, I know I'm expecting too much for 10 year olds but still. Like when Zelda came out and a bunch of people have a hissy and hate it for no real reason. It's not just Nintendo either, just console fanboys in general. Very dumb.
Nah the only reason why there's dislikes is because some are using this game as an excuse to say Switch is better than Xbox One and PS4, inflating their egos.
I'm surprised by how much I absolutely love my Switch, considering how unimpressed I was with Nintendo for..A lot of years, now. I'm going to love playing Mario Kart 8 on it!
You know, I have to agree, and I was REALLY down on Nintendo for the last... Decade or so? I even bought the Wii and Wii U, but never finished a single game on either - there was always a list a mile long of things I wanted to play on other platforms with better hardware. But Zelda + the Switch has REALLY been great. I wouldn't mind if I only ever really cared about Zelda on it, it's worth the cost of the system. I AM concerned about the lack of quality games in the pipeline, but agian, Zelda is good enough that I don't mind, and Mario Kart is fun to be able to play portably. That's enough for me, and the first time I've ever been happy that I bought a system for potentially just one or a few games that I'll actually play a significant amount. It's quite an achievement, but I have a bad feeling they're going to just rest on their laurels since the system is already such a success in their minds... history repeating itself and all that.
I grew up with Nintendo. I started playing on the old N64 when I was as young as three years old. The doctor told my parents it'd help with my concentration. I had an amazing childhood with that console, as other people did. But after that, my relationship with Nintendo soured as I, like you, went with platforms that had better hardware. From then on, every Nintendo release felt like a gimmick, with the focus being on "party games". Well, eventually I sold my PS4 to help build my PC..But I still felt like I was missing something..Some backup console, maybe..I could've bought a new PS4 but why would I pay all that money for a console, when I can just play those games at even higher settings on my PC? And that's when I saw the Switch. It definitely wasn't an easy decision, considering my love/hate relationship with Nintendo. But it's a console that you can take on the go. With my limited budget, I wouldn't have to choose between handheld and console anymore. Well, I do not regret my purchase..It's an amazing console. I hope they don't mess this up. And I also hope they don't just focus on party games. Their inclusion of third party titles however, has me very optimistic. Yeah, I can play Dark Souls(Rumors say..) and Skyrim on my PC and have them both look EXTRAORDINARY..But to play them on the Switch? Incredible. I'll be fine with Super Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart 8, and Monster Hunter, but after that, I want to see what else they can do.
Sony remasters TLOU one year after the original on their new system. "It's for people that never played the original on PS3! It's understandable!" Nintendo remasters MK8 3 years after the original on their new system. "It's the same game! Same boring crap!" You haters are so entertaining lol
Mailman True. Although arguably people didn't really own a Ps3 comparably (even though it sold more in the end). So it would make since to remaster for the Ps4 arguably the best selling console to date...... *no brainer Also, Last of Us is argued to be one of THE best games of a generation if of ALL time. Mario Cart..... great, solid, and fun game. Whenever I played it, it was worthy of my favorite Nintendo game..... just not worthy of "favorite of ALL time" status. *There's also ONLY one, at this very second, Last of Us. (coming later is part 2, sure) There's how many Mario carts? (if you include DS versions.... a sh*t ton. Also Nintendo just seems to do the same formula over, and over again..... why people say a rehash. Though hypocritical I will agree. I ALSO feel HOWEVER that Nintendo lacks diversity with their first party games) Yes, you have a point.... there's trolls. Just ignore them lol and move on XD
Austyn Balcom Kinda Funny you saying that Nintendo Rehash the same formula over and over, because you can literally fit any game in that. I could say that TLOU uses the same rehash formula from the Uncharted series, with those MATUUUURE MANLY stories and GUUUUNS. I could be an idiot and say that it is a Rehash too, but that would be as false as what you are saying. Games are classified in genres because they show similarities, but that doesn't mean every game from a genre is the same. Mario Kart 8 is still a racing game but it had many differences from Mario kart 7, anti gravity, new itens, new physics, new ways to mix the car parts,etc. And now with deluxe there are 2 itens slots, all the Dlcs, a new epic battle mode and everything the original had, and that is FINE, after all it is just a enhanced port. TLOU is not a Rehash from Uncharted, but still is from the same genre, an adventure shooter. Plus they are made by the same company, and of course both games share similarities, but that is fine if the hole game has a place to it. It wouldn't be nice if the main characters from TLOU had a sense of humor like Drake. That wouldn't make any sense considering how dramatic TLOU is. Using the same Logic for Mario Kart 8 and then we have a game that still is racing game and still is from the same franchise but with many differences from the other entries. I also agree that some games like COD, BF and Assassins Creed NEVER changes, constant entries with almost no differences or differences just for the sake of being different, because no one wanted it, like COD AW. Anyway, There is absolutely NO difference between Nintendo porting Mario Kart 8, which I could argue it is THE BEST multiplayer racing game from this Gen, and Sony porting TLOU, the latter is definately an awesome game and one of the the best games of the past Gen, however, Mario Kart 8 is still holding pretty well, the games still looks gorgeous and fun. concluiding, both games are awesome for what they are trying to be, and so they deserve a port for those who never had a chance to play it, both games are a must buy for both consoles.
LaraCroftEyes1 Thanks for that....... I already know that....... ps4, last I knew, was on track to outpace it. *but..... thanks? You missed the point of my comment.
felipe de pina You make good points. You could easily see they used same game mechanics, graphics, and other things from the Uncharted Series.... but told a different story. I'd argue though that they're different enough to be considered a different game. Assassin's Creed, COD, etc. should NOT be considered different games. They are LITERALLY copy pastes. I give AC Unity as the only real try from Ubisoft to change some things up.... and it failed.... hard. Yeah. I won't argue it doesn't need a port..... I'm just explaining how OTHERS feel. Tbh..... I don't care..... I just figured I'd explain. Lol. As a company as a WHOLE..... gotta admit..... Nintendo (as a console company) is the most guilty of abusing rehashing...... Mario..... all know or care for with Nintendo. *Not a good thing for a casual like me who got sick of seeing JUST that..... No worries. Enjoy the game XD I would if I thought Nintendo was worth buying
Wow the fanboys are really gonna start a war with Nintendo. Atleast now we know that every time Nintendo does something good they'll be their to pour out some salt.
as someone who skipped on the Wii U, this looks like it's gonna be great. ive always loved Mario Kart so the fact that ill be able to play this means a lot
@Torterra Boy - The private (or any) lobbies don't exist yet, do they? There is no real online functionality yet on the Switch except the Store currently, AFAIK... I would ASSUME that it will be coming before or with the launch of Mario Kart, HOPEFULLY! But this is Nintendo, so definitely no guarantees there (unless they actually did guarantee it will come with Mario Kart, and I haven't seen it).
OverWatch-like dragon palace. Look I love OverWatch quite extensively, but that line just doesn't fit, especially when compared to a Mario Kart Battle Mode.
Who asked NIntendo "Please, don't make new Mario Kart game for a new console, make a remake of Mario Kart 8 without any new tracks instead, please!" ?? Good news! Nintendo heard you!
I own the original on Wii U & still play it a lot after three years (easily my favorite Mario Kart game), but I'm still getting Deluxe when I buy a Switch after Christmas next week! Can't wait! An excellent game made even better!
Amazing game 1080p and new battle mode are nice, only thing missing is voice chat for multiplayer games that Nintendo says is coming. They have to deliver on a online experience on par with the other consoles.
So I'm wondering, Mario Kart has always had a battle mode up until Mario Kart 8 for the Wii U came out. With no games to currently play (since the majority will have beaten Zelda) and the fact Nintendo would love to get people to pay retail price for the same game with a single update, do you reckon they planned this?
Do haters have nothing better to do? I don't understand the logic of going to a video about something you obviously don't care about and say its shit. The Switch in my opinion has more enticing games already confirmed for release this year than the Xbox One and it seems to have a promising future. I didn't buy a Wii U, but I plan to buy a Switch later on this year so this game looks like an excellent couch and online multiplayer game.
Teres tons of games coming up: Fire emblem,xenoblade 2,ultra street fighter,Arms and splatoon 2 Its also going to get 3rd party support, they already announced steep,dragon ball xenoverse 2, skyrim and payday, dont know why people are hating And i agree, if you dont like the game, dont click on the video
StaticShock42 I think most of the "haters" are nitpicking on Nintendo for this reason "Nintendo is for kids and kids only and you should play PlayStation and Xbox only and M rate games because you are a adult and you should only be into adult stuff not kids your older now." It's like someone saying that rap is better then country music. Weird thing is I was playing my Switch in college and people did not judge me at all. On the bus heading home I had a university watch me play Zelda on the switch. I had a school bus driver who her and her husband might go the movies and watch ether a kids animated movie or a PG-13 live action film maybe a R rated film.
For the record, I do not hate this game. It is a great opportunity for those who skipped out on MK8 originally or even had the game and just didn't get the DLC. But as someone who already spent $72 on this game, a few new characters and a better battle mode don't justify another $60 purchase, and I don't understand people who think that's a good way to spend your money.
It concerns me how much hitching there seems to be with even the slightest amount of action going on, on-screen... It seems like it plays smoother than on WiiU overall, but that hitching is going to be really annoying if it's as bad as it looks for some modes, tracks, or scenes in this video!
9? It's literally a port plus a battle mode and a couple small features, but the vast majority of the content is identical to the Wii U version. If you're adding to your score of what the Wii U version was, I agree, but if Nintendo kept coming up with more slightly different, exclusive ports of the same game, you'd rate it much lower, which is what they did. It's sickening.
I am happy those that are excited for this, will enjoy it. Go for it! However I can't support this game personally. Even if it's fun. Gotta speak with my wallet.
Mayo Rice, not really. It’s a steal compared to its predecessor, as it has all the dlc, new battle mode, and new characters and mechanics. All for $60. The original w/dlc is alone $72ish. (My math may be wrong here) This game is a fucking steal.
No mention of the new turbo boost mechanic or wireless multiplayer with friends, whats up with that???? Did they stop paying or do you guys just suck this bad at reviewing games?
@@jbd332 got a switch early last year, I've enjoyed it quite a lot! I played a lot of MK8 on my wii u but never got any of the dlc, so that plus all the extra content in this version really made a difference.
Stelio Macumbe If you've got the money, go for it when they're in stock! All the hate on the Switch only comes from people who don't own it. It's a nice little device.
+Pim Nelissen I have never own a Nintendo console before. I own a PS4, even though Witcher 3 and Bloodborne are fun games, Nintendo games seem to be a different kind of fun. Those seem the kind of games that make me go weeeeeeeeee. I haven't felt that on a long time. I am not sure about Zelda though.
Stelio Macumbe I used to have a original DS and a Wii when I was 10 years old or so. Back then I really had that 'weeeee' feeling. Now with the Switch, I expect that feeling to come back soon with Super Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario Odyssey and Splatoon 2. I'm mainly a PC gamer, and those graphics are realistic and gameplay is enjoyable. But the Switch is a nice change of pace, and I've played Mario Kart 8 on a friend's WiiU, it's just pure fun.
Whoo hoo! Got two games to play now! Will have 4 by Christmas. Should see good numbers, especially if there's a bundle. Still see PS4 outselling it though.
eatcarpet, nah. $45 max. It has all the dlc from the WiiU version packed in it day one as well as some new characters and a whole new battle mode. I do agree that $60 is way too much, but $20 is way too cheap.
Malcolm Roy 16 new tracks, 6+ new characters, new battle mode, 1080 60fps, and some new mechanics **still needs more** like wtf? What more do they need to include???
Brian Herrera I am still getting it. I know I know. I guess I am just being a little salty because I had it on wii U and got all the DLC. If they had like 4 new cups to make it even larger or even a double dash mode that would be pretty sweet.
Imposter Ditto it is called Amazon marketplace. Zelda is already at 49.99, and lego undercover at 41 used. Great thing about retail copy, the market sets the price not Nintendo.
Wait, you're reviewing re-releases of old ports now? Where's the review of that 10 year old Bayonetta since it just came out on PC? I expect reviews for all re-releases now if you are gonna ham up garbage like this with 9s
I DO JUEGOS No, youre not listening. The Switch needed this exact type of game now. Thats all Im saying. Looking forward to games of all kinds in the future.
There is only 2 Wii U rehashes. The PS4 and Xbox One had more than 5 rehashes from older consoles in its first year available. Don't know why when it's Nintendo, everyone goes apeshit.
Brian Herrera no they don't get a pass either I just saying this shit has to stop we don't want remakes just because they didn't sell well Enough by your standards do mean we want to buy the same copy and paste shit over and over
The man The Legend The myth wtf? the original game got great reviews, this is the same game but better, why the hell would it get worse reviews? its a great game, it gets good ratings, end of story.
+The man The Legend The myth i guess it is subjective so its not a problem if _you_ dont like it.... but have you ever played a mario kart game? Since the DS version they have 16 new tracks and 16 tracks from older games to total to 32 courses, before that there were just 16 courses in all, and this this time we get DLC which totals up to 48 courses, which honestly is a ton
Mario Kart is irrelevant. Hasn't been a good one since Mario Kart Double Dash. I played this garbage for a few minutes and couldn't stomach playing anymore.
Влад Лепеть Crash Team Racing, Mario Kart and Sonic and All-Stars Racing are all great racing games. I just wish for an HD remake of CTR on Ps4 and a third Sonic and All-Stars Racing game.
Fugazi looks for more beautiful then anything I've seen in most of those grey ass boring lifeless PS3/360 games. So I'll take my "last gen" graphics. Thank you very much.
Fiend So you only played a system that is going to be supported for years for only one week and it's garbage. Come on dude. I think reviews for console launches are stupid but saying that the entire system and what it has to offer is garbage by only one week of play is stupid. So it's like saying: I bought a ps4 at launch and I played it for one week when most of the games and online services haven't come out yet and it sucks. At least the Switch tries something different. But if you truly think the system is garbage and you own it and played it than fine, But tell me your reasons, I would love to hear them.
Fiend Oh and the Switch has over 18 exclusives and 80 games annonced for this year only. How is the system "Dead"? A system that is dead is a system that is no longer supported and as you can see in this video a really great game is coming out next week. So how is it dead?
Do you think you'll grab Mario Kart 8?
♥ Forza ♥
GameSpot yup.
yes
GameSpot I won't grab Mario Kart 8 because I don't own a Wii U but I will get Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
IDK, maybe if Nintendo offers discounts for us who practically already have the game, then YES. Otherwise, Nintendo can go fuck itself.
Gamespot>>IGN
Forbes Gaming is bigger than both :P

Never played Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U so I am really hyped to play this one. Switch has been a great purchase thus far!
Don't scroll down and read the comments. It's not worth it.

What the fuck are you talking about.
You'll have to be more precise
I skipped the Wii u. I'll be happy to buy this game on my switch
as someone who skipped on the Wii U, this looks like it's gonna be great. ive always loved Mario Kart so the fact that ill be able to play this means a lot
They gave it a 9
MARIO KART 9 CONFIRMED
It's Mario Kart, so of course it's going to be great
Nintendo should really patch in voice chat in this game and private lobbies until they begin charging for their online service.
ErmacReptile they will
ErmacReptile what's wrong with the private lobbies
That's all coming this Summer in their app as well as it's other features before the paid online service starts in fall.
@Torterra Boy - The private (or any) lobbies don't exist yet, do they? There is no real online functionality yet on the Switch except the Store currently, AFAIK...

But this is Nintendo, so definitely no guarantees there (unless they actually did guarantee it will come with Mario Kart, and I haven't seen it).
there are built in online functions in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe such as private lobbies and private tournaments
OverWatch-like dragon palace. Look I love OverWatch quite extensively, but that line just doesn't fit, especially when compared to a Mario Kart Battle Mode.
The paper lanterns reminded me immediately of OW, but then again, i play a lot of OW. Hanamura.
looking forward to playing this game if i ever get a switch
Who asked NIntendo "Please, don't make new Mario Kart game for a new console,
make a remake of Mario Kart 8 without any new tracks instead, please!" ??
Good news!

Will nobody mention that the items need balancing. It's annoying because too many blue shells can hit you in a race or lightning bolts strike.
Do haters have nothing better to do? I don't understand the logic of going to a video about something you obviously don't care about and say its shit.

I didn't buy a Wii U, but I plan to buy a Switch later on this year so this game looks like an excellent couch and online multiplayer game.
Teres tons of games coming up: Fire emblem,xenoblade 2,ultra street fighter,Arms and splatoon 2
Its also going to get 3rd party support, they already announced steep,dragon ball xenoverse 2, skyrim and payday, dont know why people are hating
And i agree, if you dont like the game, dont click on the video
StaticShock42 I think most of the "haters" are nitpicking on Nintendo for this reason
"Nintendo is for kids and kids only and you should play PlayStation and Xbox only and M rate games because you are a adult and you should only be into adult stuff not kids your older now."
It's like someone saying that rap is better then country music.
Weird thing is I was playing my Switch in college and people did not judge me at all. On the bus heading home I had a university watch me play Zelda on the switch.
I had a school bus driver who her and her husband might go the movies and watch ether a kids animated movie or a PG-13 live action film maybe a R rated film.
For the record, I do not hate this game. It is a great opportunity for those who skipped out on MK8 originally or even had the game and just didn't get the DLC. But as someone who already spent $72 on this game, a few new characters and a better battle mode don't justify another $60 purchase, and I don't understand people who think that's a good way to spend your money.
Nobody wants to hear your advice on money budgeting.
I love this game the switch is amazing.
I'd love some DLC still. $12 imfor the season pass was a fucking steal. give me more!
Oh boy
Now if they can just fix Mario Party 10 too i would be pleased. That game was a joke.
XMonument just remake Mario party 7 for the switch and I'll buy 4
It concerns me how much hitching there seems to be with even the slightest amount of action going on, on-screen... It seems like it plays smoother than on WiiU overall, but that hitching is going to be really annoying if it's as bad as it looks for some modes, tracks, or scenes in this video!
The bitterness in some comments. Get over it, MK 8 deluxe is aweome and another great switch title. Sheesh, let people enjoy their games.
I own a switch & did not get a chance to play mario kart 8, I'm excited.
So they basically added a battle mode that should have been on the wii u version
9? It's literally a port plus a battle mode and a couple small features, but the vast majority of the content is identical to the Wii U version. If you're adding to your score of what the Wii U version was, I agree, but if Nintendo kept coming up with more slightly different, exclusive ports of the same game, you'd rate it much lower, which is what they did. It's sickening.
Stop treating it as a new release. It’s a port. Of course it’s going to be similar to the WiiU version. Now please stop bitching about this.
I am happy those that are excited for this, will enjoy it. Go for it! However I can't support this game personally. Even if it's fun. Gotta speak with my wallet.
I recently got switch and Mario odyssey. I really want this game now!!!!!!
A good GameSpot review?! No way
You hit Peter.
is it to play online switch is free or must we must paid like ps plus?
Prass Setyadi You've to pay in Fall . Not yet
its free!!!
Free until this fall. It'll be 20 bucks a year.
You left out that there's still no voice chat and no way to invite your friends. Also, $60 is an absurd price for this game.
Mayo Rice, not really. It’s a steal compared to its predecessor, as it has all the dlc, new battle mode, and new characters and mechanics. All for $60. The original w/dlc is alone $72ish. (My math may be wrong here) This game is a fucking steal.
Will never ever ever trust another Gamestop review after their review of Andromeda 😂
OpTiOn SeVeN, well. They’re better than IGN.
No mention of the new turbo boost mechanic or wireless multiplayer with friends, whats up with that???? Did they stop paying or do you guys just suck this bad at reviewing games?
Grab Mariokart and destroy all your friendships or get angry every time you play it :D
Its a great game tho
I will pick this up launch day!
Are Gamespot reviews becoming shorter?
MrDefeater94 not much to review games been out for 3 years
I mean, it's a port with a few extra cool stuff in it. They can't really say much if they already talked about it when they first reviewed it
9/10
So no "last man standing" mode?
Michael Litwack Every Reviewer said it's based on Time and whoever gets the most points kind of thing.
But! You can change the time!
Looks great. It's a shame I won't play it for at least a few years.
Have you played it yet? It's amazing.
@@jbd332 got a switch early last year, I've enjoyed it quite a lot! I played a lot of MK8 on my wii u but never got any of the dlc, so that plus all the extra content in this version really made a difference.
This sure looks fun. Perhaps I should buy a Switch
Stelio Macumbe If you've got the money, go for it when they're in stock! All the hate on the Switch only comes from people who don't own it. It's a nice little device.
+Pim Nelissen I have never own a Nintendo console before. I own a PS4, even though Witcher 3 and Bloodborne are fun games, Nintendo games seem to be a different kind of fun. Those seem the kind of games that make me go weeeeeeeeee. I haven't felt that on a long time. I am not sure about Zelda though.
Stelio Macumbe I used to have a original DS and a Wii when I was 10 years old or so. Back then I really had that 'weeeee' feeling. Now with the Switch, I expect that feeling to come back soon with Super Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario Odyssey and Splatoon 2. I'm mainly a PC gamer, and those graphics are realistic and gameplay is enjoyable. But the Switch is a nice change of pace, and I've played Mario Kart 8 on a friend's WiiU, it's just pure fun.
Shield Surfing naked with a 5 shot bow w/bomb arrows is guaranteed to make you go weeeeeeeeeee
I bought a switch, along with this game and BOTW, no regrets, it's an awesome hybrid console.
people, Jak X is coming, wait for one of the 2 best kart games ever, the second one is crash team racing btw.
soufiane bellout Jak X is not better than Crash Team Racing or Crash Nitro Kart.
whatever you say nintendbag.
soufiane bellout Those are Playstation games tho?
More games on the switch please. Thank Yaw.
hope they make a star ocean
Excellent score for an excellent deluxe title for the Switch!
Whoo hoo! Got two games to play now! Will have 4 by Christmas. Should see good numbers, especially if there's a bundle. Still see PS4 outselling it though.
Do you generally buy a lot of games or just chill with a few that are replayable?
where is she Mii Fit play upload
This should only cost like $20.
eatcarpet, nah. $45 max. It has all the dlc from the WiiU version packed in it day one as well as some new characters and a whole new battle mode. I do agree that $60 is way too much, but $20 is way too cheap.
I am going to get it but just because it was ported and I feel they could of aded maybe a little more id take at least 1.5 off the rating.
Then that would be a remake lol...
Malcolm Roy 16 new tracks, 6+ new characters, new battle mode, 1080 60fps, and some new mechanics **still needs more** like wtf? What more do they need to include???
Brian Herrera I am still getting it. I know I know. I guess I am just being a little salty because I had it on wii U and got all the DLC. If they had like 4 new cups to make it even larger or even a double dash mode that would be pretty sweet.
ill wait for a price drop
should be called Mario Kart 9
Gamespot and IGN the same company? They always do the same reviews posted at the same times.
Toonses it's because reviewers get an exact day and time where they are allowed to publish their reviews from the developer
They're own by the same company.
every review is held to an embargo
alban you mean publisher
Getting this next week :-D
Another old game port - Get it once 39. Not worth 60 bucks right now.
3212adolfo this is Nintendo. They don't discount games unless their console is 6 years old or dead.
Imposter Ditto it is called Amazon marketplace. Zelda is already at 49.99, and lego undercover at 41 used. Great thing about retail copy, the market sets the price not Nintendo.
My bad, then
Imposter Ditto you should check it out. Amazon also gives 20%off pre-orders and during the first 2 weeks of release. Zodiac Age ended up being 39.99
Yeah, reccomend the original to the millions of people who DONT have a Wii U.
I feel this is a kids game even if I'm 14 years OMG!!! WHY
Am i the only one that noticed that she picked only waifus
Wait, you're reviewing re-releases of old ports now? Where's the review of that 10 year old Bayonetta since it just came out on PC? I expect reviews for all re-releases now if you are gonna ham up garbage like this with 9s
Iggsy81 ha u jealy
This is not a port. Its a remaster with new content.
I DO JUEGOS Becaue its the multiplayer game the Switch needed. Theres nothing more fitting for a portable console than a great Mario Kart game.
I DO JUEGOS No, youre not listening. The Switch needed this exact type of game now. Thats all Im saying. Looking forward to games of all kinds in the future.
Machete Lucius lol, it called not being arsed to release a new game for their system
this game barely has any cross over characters. no th anks ill pass
Kallie I love you
The salt hahahahahahahah
Well 3 mins talking about battle mode lol
This or splatoon
Jason dp, this. Splatoon needs online while this has a decent single player.
Abdel voici
Funny 🦩🦩🦩
They gave it a 6/10 you're welcome
Flip the "6" then you get your answer.
+fritopie423 Sorry, but you need to flip it again.
turn the 6 upside down it's a 9 now
Nintendo Switch the home of rehashed wiiu games and indie titles (that are more expensive than in other platforms).
Stop trolling.
Deus Knight Truth hurts, deal with it.
Stop lying, you have been trolling the switch for months.
Deus Knight it's not trolling if it's true.
There is only 2 Wii U rehashes. The PS4 and Xbox One had more than 5 rehashes from older consoles in its first year available. Don't know why when it's Nintendo, everyone goes apeshit.
9 lol really for the same damn game on the wiiu really a 9
Same thing with The Last of Us Remastered. Here; I will explain it your way:
8 lol really for the same damn game on the ps3 really a 8
The man The Legend The myth other games get a pass. As soon as Nintendo releases a port with all dlc+more it's a crime.
Brian Herrera no they don't get a pass either I just saying this shit has to stop we don't want remakes just because they didn't sell well Enough by your standards do mean we want to buy the same copy and paste shit over and over
The man The Legend The myth wtf? the original game got great reviews, this is the same game but better, why the hell would it get worse reviews? its a great game, it gets good ratings, end of story.
+The man The Legend The myth i guess it is subjective so its not a problem if _you_ dont like it.... but have you ever played a mario kart game? Since the DS version they have 16 new tracks and 16 tracks from older games to total to 32 courses, before that there were just 16 courses in all, and this this time we get DLC which totals up to 48 courses, which honestly is a ton
Mario Kart is irrelevant. Hasn't been a good one since Mario Kart Double Dash. I played this garbage for a few minutes and couldn't stomach playing anymore.
MK8 Deluxe hasn't been released yet. You could only play the Deluxe version at Switch events. Or play the older version on a Wii U
I'm obviously referring to the vanilla version.
Irrilevant? Lol, it's one of the most popular video games franchises
FEARnoHATE Kid Iccarus is irrelevant. Mario Kart most definitely will not be becoming irrelevant anytime soon.
What kinda of sick unloved child turned serial killer dislikes mario kart because it got a high score.
Crash Team Racing is still better
Yep, there is a reason why the Crash Team Racing franchise has survived this long -- quality racing that everybody loves. Can't wait for the next one.
when you compare it to Mario kart 64 crash team racing really is the better game.
Влад Лепеть You can't like both, right? I really hate kids.
They're both a bit shite to be honest. Sonic Racing Transformed is where it's at. That Shinobi track is a work of art.
Влад Лепеть Crash Team Racing, Mario Kart and Sonic and All-Stars Racing are all great racing games. I just wish for an HD remake of CTR on Ps4 and a third Sonic and All-Stars Racing game.
Those last gen graphics
Fugazi Is this a troll? Because this game is running at 1080p 60fps.
Why choose salty?
Fugazi looks for more beautiful then anything I've seen in most of those grey ass boring lifeless PS3/360 games. So I'll take my "last gen" graphics. Thank you very much.
yes because it's a last gen game.
Fugazi You do realise that the switch is a new generation right so by last gen you technically meant PS4/xbone/Wii u
wasnt this woman from IGN
Finally! A 3 years old game on a dead system! WOOHOO!
Pocok So is a system that sold 2.4 million units in the first month dead? How is that even logical lol.
Elnatan137 it is dead i only played it the first week its garbage
Fiend So you only played a system that is going to be supported for years for only one week and it's garbage. Come on dude. I think reviews for console launches are stupid but saying that the entire system and what it has to offer is garbage by only one week of play is stupid. So it's like saying: I bought a ps4 at launch and I played it for one week when most of the games and online services haven't come out yet and it sucks. At least the Switch tries something different. But if you truly think the system is garbage and you own it and played it than fine, But tell me your reasons, I would love to hear them.
Fiend Oh and the Switch has over 18 exclusives and 80 games annonced for this year only. How is the system "Dead"? A system that is dead is a system that is no longer supported and as you can see in this video a really great game is coming out next week. So how is it dead?
How is the Nintendo switch dead when outsell the PS4 and Xbox one in March
Same boring crap.
hello there edge lord.
supersonics5000 definitely is the same. But definitely not crap
supersonics5000 butthurt gamer alert.
supersonics5000 you parted the exact same shit on IGN's review. So your just baiting. Get a fucking life.
Same boring comment.
first!!!
Meh. It's okay.
Game isn't out yet.
Alexander Chilton Its 3 years old pal.
I'm pretty sure the game is exactly like the WiiU original, but with better graphics. And Splatoon characters.
I think the new battle mode adds a pretty sweet cherry on the top
