85% Platforms Nintendo Switch Genre Racing, Arcade Developer Nintendo EPD Production Group No. 7 Publisher Nintendo Release April 28, 2017 Judging by how many copies of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe have been sold, odds are that there are only about 6 of you out there who don’t own it yet. If that’s you, there’s absolutely no reason to put it off any longer. This is hands-down the best game in the series and one of the best racing games of all time. The simple idea of drifting around tracks and collecting various items to hinder other racers or give yourself an edge is perfected in this latest entry. Sure, there’s still the Blue Shell to deal with, but that’s a small price to pay for such a polished racer.
