How is King Boo back from the dead? He's still dead, HE'S A GHOST!

2:12 All three Green shells hit the intended opponents!? What sorcery is this!?

48 Tracks, the longest number in the series, and NOW, there will be 48 MORE tracks for the Booster Course Pass

Man, playing this with family and friends is such a joy! Reminds me of when I used to play Mario Kart Double Dash with friends back then

Nintendo: "Let's do something different" Dev: "How about holding two items instead of one hehexd"

1:40 purple drifting!?

2:37 *WAS THAT A DAB?!*

2017: A whopping 48 courses, the most out of any Mario Kart game! 2022: A whopping 96 courses, the most out of any Mario Kart game!

Basically this is what the first Battle mode should have been.

0:51 is that golden mario?

"Now say goodbye to the open road and say hello to the new battle stages" Wait... New... battle stages? *YES LORD THANK YOU.*

"King Boo is back from the dead" well, no, he's still a ghost

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has Double items All DLC from the Wii U version Battle mode 2 players in one switch on the go Returning items Smart Steering Braking while drifting 1080p docked 720p undocked (Wii U was 720p on TV 500p on Gamepad) OK you might think this is a hate comment but I just wrote that to help you decide personally I'm excited to play this with my friends at school. *EDIT: I ADDED MORE AND YES I DO PLAY IT DURING THE LUNCH BREAK* and without smart steering I can totally imagine my friends playing rainbow road the first time 😂

I took the time to list all the new additions to the game: Switch Stuff! Bowser Jr. Dry Bones King Boo Gold Mario Inkling Boy Inkling Girl All Inklings have different colors (like Yoshis and Shy Guys) Villager genders are now separated Coin Runners Balloon Battle Shine Thief Renegade Roundup Bom-omb Blast Urchin Underpass (Splatoon) SNES Battle Course 1 Battle Stadium GCN Luigi's Mansion 3DS Wuhu Island Sweet Sweet Kingdom Dragon Palace Lunar Colony Cape Feather Item (battle only) Boo Item (steals items) Hold two items Double Item Boxes (from double dash) Koopa Clown Inkstriker Splat Buggy The character in the lead wears a crown in Battle Mode Introducing "smart steering" Unlock Gold Mario by getting gold on every single cup in 200cc And I guess there is a different drift system?

i fear no man except that thing "4 years ago" it scares me

2:19 the ghost is literally just called “User” I love that

I owned the game on Wii U but considering it lacked the true portability and I know people that didn't buy the Wii U? I am willing to pay for the game again myself, The Wii U was not a popular console so many people will be buying MK8 for the first time ever.

Oh my gosh is that voice the one from the parental controls video?

"Battle Mode is Back" YEESH, The shade at mk8 wii u's battle mode in that is HUGE.

2:38 I dident know donkey Kong dab is back

All these new features, but still no fake item box.

This is going to be a PERFECT mario kart game! They fixed everything that was wrong with the original and then some! Battle mode, holding 2 items, plus the new characters, courses, and items. And I personally love the steering assist for when I'm playing with my 6 year old, this is gonna be GREAT!

Who’s back here watching this after them announcing Birdo will be joining the roster in Wave 4?

There is a typo for Piranha plant lol 1:11

0:51 is that a gold Mario I see?

I'm so glad they brought back a legit battle mode for this, I'm pretty hyped ^-^

At this point can we just invite, Kirby, Ness, and Captain Falcon and rename it Smash Kart?

What a journey

*Video* Get a load of this Me: OMG ITS EGGMAN

1:39 DID YOU CATCH THAT ORANGE BOOST TURNING PURPLE?

0:21 I need that drifting airhorn.

2:39 DK just dabbed

Am I the only one that wants a double dash co-op mode?

1:10 Pirahna Plant... First time I've seen a typo in first-party Nintendo materials.

Season 8 of the Mario kart anime is looking nice

Even though I have the original, I have to say Mario kart 8 deluxe is definitely worth it. More additional content, and Mario kart 8 is portable, and on the switch. One of the best switch games out there

BATTLE MODE LOOKS SO GREAT! THE NEW MODES! THE AWESOME ACTUAL BATTLE MAPS!! :D

Dab at 2:38 and Air Horn at 4:42. Has Nintendo gone *dank* on us?

The end of April can't come soon enough! #MK8D is going to be great on Switch!

Guy at Nintendo: Alright we need ideas for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. First Guy: A new and improved Battle Mode! Second Guy: Smart Steering! Third Guy: Maybe we should add Birdo and Diddy Kong alongside King Boo, Dry Bones, and Bowser Jr. *Third guy is thrown out the window* One of the many reasons why Birdo and Diddy Kong are not in the game Edit: Mario Kart Tour isn’t the same.

Back in my day we didn't have steer assist. We had to learn the hard way!

Love this game as much as I loved Mario Kart Double Dash.

Me: Already has the switch, game, and has lived three years after this was posted. UKposts: Here watch this.

2:38 donkey kong just pulled a dab, and I the crowd is going bananas!

"Get a load of this" - Nintendo Employee From Some random sonic game

1:00 Eggman joining Mario Kart confirmed.

Here after the Course DLC reveal

I wish individual characters had unique specials like in double dash. That was so cool. Glad at least you brought something from it back being the double item boxes.

Can't wait! In April my Switch is going to become a Mario Kart machine!

Battle Mode is going to be so fun!

2:39 ho wait ! Donkey's dab ?! 😱

Will definitely buy this game again. I absolutely loved Mario Kart 8; possibly my favourite in the series. Now, to have this game with extra features AND have it on the go? Yes please.

3:42 to hear Nintendo say a big F U to the F-Zero series.

I wonder if MK8 owners on Wii U will have the option to buy this at a discounted price. Seems fair to me, especially if you own both DLC packs

2:37 Did Donkey Kong just dab!

FINALLY GOT THE SWITCH! We had the most BIGGEST TRADE IN at GameStop. Got Mario kart, just dance , and 1 2 switch! Soon, I'll get splatoon, Mario odyssey !!! Can't wait

I wish more battle mode courses from mario kart wii came back :(

0:51 Nathaniel Bandy gets triggered.

While I'm not a big fan of ports, I gotta say, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe does so many things better than its predecessor. -Actual battle mode maps. It's not really that cool to play battle mode on regular tracks. Plus, it even has other battle mode modes to rev things up. -2 items at once. Do I have to say anything else? -New characters and amiibo costumes. And, until the Booster Course Pass came out, the characters were all free, no DLC lock or anything. They added Gold Mario, they added the Inklings and BotW Link amongst other costumes. Speaking of no DLC lock. -All DLC content from MK8 is free on MK8D. This is especially important due to the recent closure of the 3DS and Wii U eShop. So, if you passed the opportunity and you have a Switch, you can still experience every track previously only available through DLC on Wii U. As much as I hate to admit it, but the fact that the Switch is a semi-literal porting machine is actually a good thing. Most people, who skipped out on the Wii U, get to experience some of the Wii U games for the first time on Switch. Of course, this doesn't mean that Pikmin 3, _which was literally built around the GamePad as the main controller and in-game tablet in mind,_ plays better on Switch. There are some core features that cannot be easily, if not at all, replicated on the Switch. Yet, it's also good to make new games instead of focussing on ports only. This may be the result of Super Mario Odyssey being the newest mainline entry in the Mario series to date, and it released almost 6 years ago. Bowser's Fury and A Spark of Hope do not count. If you actually read the whole comment, then I am truly sorry for wasting your time. I just cannot hold myself when I write my own opinion.

3:23 I knew there was something familiar about that battle course. It's wuhu town but in the day time. Unlike in Mario kart 7 where it was nighttime.

Is no one going to mention this is the same lady who dubbed the Parental Controls video? She does a great job tbh

WERE IS KIRBY?!?! He should be a character

Bowser Jr has always been my favourite character. I'm so happy he's back :D

*the narrator sounds like that one substitute teacher that everyone can’t stand*

I already hear Dashie going crazy.

I know there's already heaps of characters but imagine if they added Fox McCloud! o:

2:38 OMG HE DABBED

2:39 Donkey Kong dab!

2:36 Wait... did DK Just - Dabbed? (while he's in the air)

But... no Diddy Kong

1:42 Everyone WAS able to brake while drifting but I was the only one that used it to my advantage in 200cc.

Pls add the fake item box as a free update

hey heres how you know F-zero is dead, they use one of its most iconic tracks for an advertisement

Honestly, I wouldn't mind if Nintendo ported the most successful Wii U games to the Switch just for those who skipped last gen.

0:22 rip headphones

Kirby is in, he’s just in the Helmet copy ability to ride on your mii’s head.

Captain falcon, Diddy, and funky Kong as DLC?

How about a discount for those that already bought Mario Kart 8 & all the DLC on Wii U?

2:37 *Lol* Donkey Kong dab

wave 5 is coming out soon

This game would be useful if the Switch's weren't sold out, I'm real bummed.

Miyamoto: Okay guys, we messed up a lot in mk 8. Let's fix what we started. "bring back battle mode" "Add bowser jr" Reggie: "Make F-zero stages and music, but not Captain Falcon...?" Miyamoto: Those are all great ideas guys! *ESPECIALLY YOURS, REGGIE.*

Finally got the damn console because all Toys"R"Us' got 20 shipments last Saturday and I was thankfully #15 on the line 💃🏻

Wow! I played a few of the earliest versions of Kart. I am definitely missing out here!

That'd be cool if they added a mode where you can make your own race tracks and battle maps.

Captain Falcon better be in it if they used his music.

Does anyone else wish that Nintendo added a double dash mode. Basically when your selecting the kind of race, you could pick double dash mode then it would let you pick the class and everything. Then you get to pick the two characters you want to race with, then you select a car from double dash or a new one if Nintendo decides to make more double dash cars. I hope Nintendo sees this and decides to do it.

Thank you for the automatic steering for beginners because I am terrible at racing games. My dad will only play if we have a racing game and plus, I wanna get better

Will we still get colored yoshi and shyguy

0:51 Please tell me I'm not the only one that sees gold Mario!

Great overview of Mario Kart 8 and much respect on adding a great Battle Mode!

"It's the fullest, fastest Mario Kart game ever made." Yeah. Hearing that again is likely that there won't be a 9th entry for Switch. But, who knows, a new one might still be coming up soon, or later.

inklings definitely in new smash bros.

I would be really excited but I can't find a switch anywhere ugh!

if this game’s booster pass’s final update adds double dash mode, new OR returning items (pow block, fake item box, feathers in races, lightning cloud, and mega mush, and special items (for each character or anyone)), and made it more like mk wii, there would be no need for mario kart 9 sadly but honestly

2:38 DK dub lollol

is no one going to point out that they added gold Mario, yet we're still missing grandpa monochrome Waluigi?????

Awesome, for someone who skipped the WiiU and planning to get a Switch later this year this looks great.

Woah I've always been an Nintendo person and my favorite characters are toad and shy guy and I love the 2 items at once!

3:54 F-Zero soundtrack cameo! Would be sweet to drive as Cpt. Falcon.
