]]>You might have your favourite combination in Mario Kart 8, but science has determined the selection that is statistically the best.
]]>After working with Nintendo for many years, Bandai Namco has officially named its team that has worked on titles like Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
]]>Nintendo is all about reinventing the wheel where it can - and that attitude follows through even to more simple, straightforward genres - like racing games. This has worked for good and for ill - part of the reason why we’re still waiting on more F-Zero is presumably because developers have been unable to come up with an earth-shattering, genre-shaking concept for the series. They don’t want to just make ‘another F-Zero’, so the franchise has been trapped in a prolonged pit stop.
]]>During the June Nintendo Direct, fans of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe were treated to the reveal of Booster Course Pass Wave 5. Now, Nintendo has revealed the new tracks and other goodies racers can expect from July 12.
]]>Yesterday’s June Nintendo Direct (June 21) was quite the feast. We received five different Mario-related announcements, a Pikmin 4 demo, Star Ocean 1 and 2 remakes, and so much more. All in all, there’s a lot you could’ve missed, so here’s everything that was shown off during the Nintendo Direct.
]]>Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is one of the best-selling games of all time. The little plumber and his ragtag bunch of unlikely friends have convinced over 50 million people to empty their wallets and purses for his tarmac-based exploits since the game launched in 2017.
]]>With Wave 4 of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC out in the wild, players have noticed the character selector screen is missing a few entries.
]]>Nintendo has announced a release date for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 4.
]]>Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass Wave 4: Yoshi’s Island, a new course, zooms onto Switch this spring.
]]>Nintendo has released a free update for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe that lets you choose which items appear on the race courses.
]]>Eight more courses are coming to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe when Wave 3 of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass DLC releases on December 7.
]]>It might make you shiver when I tell you that Mario Kart DS is the first way I experienced Mario Kart. I later visited the N64 version and (of course) would go on to frequent the Wii version, too. But Mario Kart DS will always have the most special place in my heart among them all.
]]>Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 3 was announced during today's Nintendo Direct.
]]>A recent Mario Kart 8 Deluxe datamine has revealed potential tracks coming to the game in the future.
]]>Nintendo has released Wave 2 of new and revamped tracks for the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass. As a result, one of the best tracks of the series has finally arrived. No, it’s not DK Mountain or Maple Treeway. It’s Waluigi Pinball.
]]>Eight additional courses are making their way to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with Wave 2 of the Booster Course Pass.
]]>A TikTok user has modder their car so that uses a Wii steering wheel attachment as the car's actual steering wheel.
]]>Nintendo has released the Booster Course Pass DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and alongside of the DLC is an update which you will need in order to play the new DLC.
]]>Last night's Nintendo Direct will surely be one for the ages – as well as some new arrivals, we also saw Nintendo cast a loving eye backwards, reintroducing some cherished games to the Nintendo Switch system in the form of remasters and Nintendo Online additions. For gamers new and old, then, the February 2022 Nintendo Direct was definitely one to remember.
]]>During tonight's Nintendo Direct, it was announced that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was getting a batch of paid DLC.
]]>Nintendo is currently developing a new Mario Kart game, according to an industry analyst.
]]>Nintendo’s recent financial report (via Gematsu) touted the fast-selling Nintendo Switch’s success, having sold over 92 million systems to date. That’s including 3.83 million Switch hardware units it sold in Q2.
]]>Nintendo is getting close to 100 million Switch sales.
]]>It took them just 21 seconds to complete a race.
]]>One of the big items during Black Friday was, of course, the Nintendo Switch. Now, after disappearing during the hectic sales period, the Nintendo Switch with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundle is now back in stock at Amazon.
]]>The Black Friday deals have started their engines and thanks to this bundle you can nab yourself a great deal on Nintendo's console of the moment packaged with a game that's an instant hit at any social gathering.
]]>Mario Kart games traditionally feature a lot of content that is locked away when you start the game. Over the years players have had to win championships in order to unlock new courses, but in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe all the content is available from the moment you start the game (no doubt a decision made because this is a re-release of sorts following the Wii U version). That is, all content apart from the brand new Gold Mario included exclusively in the Switch version of Mario Kart 8. Gold Mario is the top Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Unlockable you'll want to get your hands on.
]]>Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Link has been added to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on Nintendo Switch.
]]>Mario Kart 8 Deluxe isn't just about going fast, but speed will play a major part in how well you do while out in the game's many twisting and turning tracks. In this guide we'll detail how to boost in Mario Kart 8, whether that's from the starting grid or while racing behind opponents.
]]>In Mario Kart 8 (and in turn Mario Kart 8 Deluxe) you have to make a series of choices to determine your character and kart. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe might look cute but there’s a whole lot of depth lying beneath this cuddy exterior. In this Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Kart Combo guide we’ll explain how to pick a great setup and what your choices mean to kart performance and handling. No longer will you simply pick kart parts at random and hope for the best. You'll be able to make the best kart in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and easily beat you friends who are still just picking parts at random.
