Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

A new video from GameXplain shows off the title screen and various menus included in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. See it below.

Like the original game on Wii U, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe supports online, and you’ll connect with others in lobbies. One subtle yet big change was made in the Switch version. With this new version, it’s possible to change characters and karts in the online lobby. That means you won’t have to back out of a race to make these modifications.

Similar to the test performed on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild during its launch period, testing has confirmed that the Switch’s battery in portable mode will last for a little over 3 hours when playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

The test was conducted with a full charge and with screen brightness set to 30%. The exact time was 3 hours, 9 minutes and 20 seconds of playtime – similar to the battery life when playing Breath of the Wild, which is almost exactly 3 hours.

The full North American Mario Kart 8 Deluxe website is now open for business. You can visit it here.

The site is very similar to its Japanese counterpart. There are tons of videos and information about the characters, tracks, new battle mode, and more.

The first official Switch bundle has been outed by Nintendo’s own official store in Russia.

Consumers will be able to choose between two options: one with gray Joy-Con and another with the neon colors (note that these pages may be inaccessible unless you’re located in Russia or use a proxy). Both come with a physical copy as opposed to a pre-installed version.

Nintendo may be announcing this Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundle during its Nintendo Direct tonight. It’s unclear if North America will be receiving the package at this time.
