UK Charts: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Speeds Into Second While FIFA Takes Home The Trophy

Same games, different week. Just the buildup to Star Wars Jedi Survivor and Zelda TOTK

Feels like a missed opportunity to make a DLC for a new world in Odyssey.

@syrupdash Or a brand new 3D Mario platformer, it's been almost 6 years.

May’s gonna be an interesting month that’s for sure.

Whoever is buying Fifa, stop it! 😆

@Rob3008
Right behind you with that one.
It’s about time and well overdue.

We need another Mario Kart 8 DLC pack.

Even better, how about Nintendo making a big free update to Mario Kart 8? The game could easily sustain itself with 100% free updates.

@victordamazio I would like to see a MK8 track based on New Donk City.

@Axecon Does the UK do Street Fighter?

So happy to see Super Mario Odyssey doing so well at the moment. Come on Nintendo, where’s our favourite plumbers next adventure? Odyssey 2, Galaxy 3, whatever it is, I want it now!

So Switch hardware sales seeing a boost from the film. Yeah, they know what they are doing this year.

@GrailUK Also TotK will set a boost to the sales, including the new Limited edition.

@sanderev Very true. The Switch is so going to overtake the DS lifetime eventually.

The legs of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe never cease to amaze me. I haven't played that game since the Wii U days.

@Cashews I'm getting that at launch. Played 2, 4 and 5 as much as I could and loved every minute. Missed out on 3's initial run, sadly, but played it a bit via retro releases.

@JohnnyC I'm buying a PS5 solely for SF6.

@Dpullam Deluxe with all the new content would be totally worth it for you. I bought it at launch and put a solid 50 hours in it. Then didn’t play it for a while and of course started playing again with the new content. It’s added about ten hours so far. I bet I end up putting in another 20-30 hours. I probably have 700 hours on it with the WiiU….

@rockodoodle I am worried that I might get bored of it even with the new maps and characters, but I have considered playing it again. I have been letting my kids play my brother's copy and they have really been enjoying it. I forgot how nice the game looked too, though I didn't have as nice of a TV in the Wii U days so that could be a part of that. The game definitely doesn't show its age.

@Dpullam yeah, u have to temper expectations. Whilst the new content is worth playing and it extends the life of the game, it doesn’t quite have the same pop it had back in the day. The Tour tracks can get stale and done of the remasters are outright boring. But there’s still meat on the bone….

@rockodoodle Exactly, which is why I still debate playing it myself. There is enough content to justify playing it again, but since the gameplay is the exact same, I am unsure how long my attention would stick with game.
