Topic: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

I don't think they'll ever change the name to Nintendo Kart or anything like that, because Mario Kart is one of the most recognisable and successful brands in all of gaming. I think it will always be predominantly made up of Mario characters, tracks, etc, but with a few guest characters added in each game. Although maybe if they wanted to add a more widespread mix of Nintendo IPs, they could call it Mario Kart + Nintendo All-Stars or something like that; Mario Kart will always be part of the name though.

That sounds like a recipe for encountering brutal and virtually impossible tracks.

Is the voice chat going to work for this now?

@DTMOF84 That is a good question, and one Nintendo refuses to say. Even in the Direct all they showed was Splatoon 2 on the app.

Are they going to release more paid DLC for this or what?

The only reason I can't see paid dlc happening is saving tracks for MK9 which I think is guaranteed (later in the Switch's lifespan) when you look at the sales figures for MK8 Deluxe.

@ReaderRagfish that’s cool. But I’m sure it’s just when you make a party right? Is that how Splatoon works?

Hi,
How can we play multi account with my partner? One swithc, one game, 2 account.
On the switch both of us have account, if I start the game /with my account/ and share the joy-con, how can she play with her account?

@lanszelot she can't unfortunately.

If Nintendo did do vr a great way to showcase it would be in Mario kart 8 if they added a first person mode to Mario kart 8. It would sell the game even better VR mario kart

Mario Kart 99 is what I'm waiting for. 99 players race round the circuit and after 20 seconds or so, Bowser or someone sets off at the back of the field, gradually catching. When he catches you, you're out. Last driver left racing wins.

after smash ultimate, i'm guessing they're gonna come out with Mario kart ultimate. every former track, every raceable character, all in one game.

Moreover, add with Vehicle Transformation .

So I have to ask are the Mercedes cars in this version like the Wii U version?

@Tasuki Yep.

this game is still fun to play does anyone know of any active discord servers or fourms

@Louise29 If you’re a grown up, there’s still regular MK8 DELUXE game nights over on the Adult Switch Gamers Discord.

@Lroy thanks for the reply I will check it out

does anyone know of a active clan

PSA: a NintendoLife tournament community has been created. Thanks to @VenomousAlbino for starting it. The beauty about the tournament/community is, you don't have the barrier of exchanging friend codes. Once you've entered the tournament code in-game, it's saved to your game, and you can easily check in to see if others are racing. So, it's a more streamlined way race other NL users in MK8D online.
