    The Chosen One - 1 month ago
    As a Wii U port, this game is mid to begin with, but is redeemed by the dlc released last year. However, this game is going to be hard to continue playing for adult and kids alike, online at least. The core game mechanic from 150cc on up is all about abusing drifting and animations, which coupled with online combat is very hard to pull off. It can be a but of a blood bath, and is okay at best fun wise. For kids not able to abuse drifting mechanics you'll unfortunately get wrecked probably. Sadly playing as your favorite character isn't a viable option in higher rankings. Their is a very thin line online between casual and competive imo, as each win places you with increasingly difficult players. It's doable but debatable how practical as the gameplay itself isn't fun. If it was actually racing then maybe, but it's just a drift abuse simulator in reality. Also on a side note, I really hate the jazz music in some of these tracks.

    You pay to buy the game. Play it only to discover if you want the other 1/2 of courses and more characters, you have to pay another $25.

    My husband and I purchased a Nintendo Switch just for the new Mario Kart. We went back and forth after playing it multiple times at Target. We didn’t like how the game would auto correct to where you couldn’t fall off. But since, we learned you can turn that setting off and it’s harder, more like the original! Glad we purchased, I’m starting to prefer the new over the original now!

    The Fact that this game is 49.99 in a daily basis and the Target company decided to make it 60.00 for black friday so it can out a deal of 18% and make it look lime it is on discount for 48.99! Disgusting, dishonest, not completely sure but almost sure this is illegal. Market manipulation! Shame on you!
