- A good buy if you didn't purchase on the WiiU.- May 15, 2017
A great game and it looks fantastic on the Switch, but unless you're as thirsty for Splatoon themed content (And I have to admit, lacklustre content at that.) as I am, I'd pass on this if you own the WiiU version already. If you don't though, totally pick it up! Having this game on the Switch is a blast for whenever you're hanging out with a friend or if you have relatives visiting. The Steering Assist is great for kids too since they really just need to know how to hold down the Go button. TL;DR ? - Great game, but definitely not worth buying if you have the original.

Report - Best Mario Kart To Date- July 3, 2017
Mario Kart games are almost always amazing games. While some titles in the series are still stronger in certain areas (like Double Dash still hosting a superior battle mode), there is no question that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the best installment to date overall. I highly suggest the game if you never got the original version on Wii U, it is definitely worth your time and money! And even if you did buy it on Wii U, it is still a wonderful game and the much improved battle mode is enough to sway most into repurchasing the game for Switch. Of course, if you didn't enjoy the original or are not interested in battle mode, I would not suggest double dipping on the game, but you'll still be missing out!
