I didn't play MK8, will MK8DX be enjoyable? I heard that everything is unlocked out of the box which sounds kinda lame.

MK8 was amazing. Pure video game captial F Fun distilled into kreamy kart goodness. It was marred only by its battle mode.


MK8d fixes the battlemode.

MK8 was hands down one of the best games to own on the WiiU, and pretty much the best game in the series thus far.

MK8 Deluxe looks only to refine that further with 'little' additions like a proper battlemode, and removing some of the poo poo like fire-hopping.

It will most likely (probably [why wouldn't they]) receive additional DLC at a later point as well, extending the gently caress out of an already massive game.

I'd say MK8D is pretty much an essential addition to your Switch library
(Also buy it digitally so it sits on your Switch forever and ever)

that's the plan. Nearly done with Zelda + FAST RMX so I'm thinking I'll pick up MK8 soon-ish.

Pachinko is dead as soon as all the currently old people in Japan die because no one under the age of 60 plays it. That's what all the fancy licensed versions are about, trying to get younger people to play but no one cares.

Bomberman... good? poo poo, I might need to pick it up because Bomberman is always a pretty fun MP game.

Also I really want to pick up MK8D for the same reason.

Also, Jackbox Party Pack is amazing and I've played it twice already with 4+ friends. It's a bit harder to get a group together since I'm in Spain and few people have a good enough english to be witty, but it's still really good.

Also I still want to get Binding of Isaac.


I'm so glad the Switch has no games, otherwise I wouldn't be able to afford all of these Switch games.

Pachinko is dead in like 20 - 30 years? I'm sure Konami will figure out something. Or sell to like, FUJI TV for next to nothing.

Yeah, Switch has hella games. Zelda, MK8, GEM, VOEZ, Shovel Knight, FAST RMX.

E3 is also just around the corner and everyone's very psyched for VC to drop.

There is no such problem? You can select either 4 or 8, but you can leave as many spots blank as you like and just don't add computers.

Yea, it's far and away the best kart racer ever. Has an incredible live band soundtrack, maybe best soundtrack ever? Even if everything is unlocked, there's still plenty to do -- three-star gold trophies on every cup in every speed mode will take a good long time.

Mk8 is so good that I played the poo poo out of it on Wii U, completely finished and two years later I'm hype as heck to do it again. And to be able to have this experience mobile... that's lit as heck

Edit: booted the old Wii U up to spin it back up and couldn't remember the buttons until the race started and then instantly remembered everything, even my lines through the course. Played this game more than I thought.
My nephew and niece got MK7 over the Easter break, I was down there last weekend and broke out my DS to play 3 player with them. Can't really remember the courses or controls, finish the first race behind my nephew (and an AI player too, I think). Gradually get better, beat him soundly in the last couple of races. :c00l: I'm a horrible uncle.

Can't wait to bring my Switch and MK8DX down there. Gotta get another set of joycons.
