Nintendo has delivered the best version of one of its best recent games, as well as a compelling argument for the Switch’s hardware prowess, with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Mario Kart 8 was easily one of the best games on Wii U. Three years later, it’s easy to dismiss Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for the Nintendo Switch as a mere stop-gap to smooth over the line-up as the developer puts the finishing touches on brand new games like Super Mario Odyssey.
