One title that many are looking forward to is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe especially those who didn’t play the original Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U. Japanese gaming publication Famitsu recently interviewed Nintendo’s Kosuke Yabuki who worked on both Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Arms simultaneously. Here’s a few golden nuggets from the interview:
- Kosuke Yabuki worked on both Arms and Mario Kart 8 DX simultaneously.
- Yabuki was very excited to make this version for Switch
- Wanted to deliver a Mario Kart game immediately and not start from scratch.
- Nintendo EPD used the extra power for 1080p/60fps on tv mode.
- Yabuki says the extra ram allowed his team to experiment with holding multiple items at once. (all 12 characters can hold 2 items at a time)
- Consulted with Nogami for the Splatoon stage and characters
- Lot of strategy can be used in battle mode
- Gyro controls improved
- Doesn’t completely shutdown the idea of future DLC, but he says the game already has so much content.
I already have every DLC for the wii U version… If only they add like… 16 tracks. It’s gonna be a re-buy for me…
and the battle mode?
The portability perhaps… a battle mode justify 60 additional dollars?
I want to buy it but I didn’t bought the original.
I’m not usually for this, but in this case they should confirm that DLC extra tracks will release in the future before the game launches. That would make me buy it.
Nope,.. not enough. There will not be enough till they include Birdo!
Shut up
Up shut
Huh?
Wha?
Division bell, eh?
This game should have a price tag of around $39us.
No, 20. No, 10. No, FREE. Come on Nintendo! Don’t you know we’re poor!?
After I saw it I thought it’s gonna be another entry to the series. A new Mario kart game.
It’s been known as a deluxe version for moths.
Only for moths? Well what do butterflies get, the watered down version? XD I had to
huh?
Read your comment again… 😂
Dang it. XD
You typed “moth” instead of “month.” I was just having some fun with that. I couldn’t help it.
How racist! I won’t stand for this discrimination.
Shut Up
😂
I’m going to wait this one out until there is a massive price drop or a discount for those who already bought it with DLC.
I don’t want to pay 60 euro for a game I already own for 80%
Nintendo games hold their value quite well.
I might not get skyrim because of the price tag, but probably will get MK.
Unless I can get it for like 60 percent off, I’m out- I’m not paying 60 bucks just for classic battle mode, 4 new characters, and the original item meta when that’s all that’s new from the original and its DLC.
Oh… and it is portable. I guess everyone is forgetting that part
Nobody is.
I am so buying this. I missed out on the Wii u version, so I am game for the MK8 Deluxe!
Same. But I’ll never play it online. People cheats SO bad in this game.
Do you think they’ll address cheating in the switch version? Could happen.
That inkling girl looks like a vampire.
“Yabuki says the extra ram allowed his team to experiment with holding multiple items at once. (all 12 characters can hold 2 items at a time)”
Mario Kart Wii also had 12 player and all can hold two items at once too, so… I don’t know what the deal is this since the Wii only having a few megabytes of RAM manages to have two items at once for all 12 players, but not on Mario Kart 8 with the Wii U having 2GB of RAM? Am I missing something?
Yes this game is more graphically demanding then the Wii version. Big part to miss actually lol They probly couldn’t include it on wiiu because it was already maxed out in power and since switch is a little more powerful they were able to include it.
As long as they add a Splatoon race themed track and the Squid Sisters as characters, I’m OK with so much content.
80 bucks Canadian…. I don’t know if a Battle Mode justifies this price tag. The Switch Games are overpriced.
What’s with all the moaning!most fun multiplayer game ever,,KOOPALINGS RULE,
I’d consider MK8D on 2 conditions: 1. Free updates that adds more tracks later on, ala Splatoon. For 60 bucks, that isn’t too much to fucking ask for, is it!? 2. … 2. … Shit! I forgot what condition 2 was gonna be!
