Splatoon‘s Inklings get in on the action Gameplay It was surprising that King Boo and Bowser Jr missed out on participating in the Wii U version, but fans will be delighted with their inclusion this time round. The new additions are King Boo, Bowser Jr, Dry Bones and, from the Splatoon games, Inkling Girl and Inkling Boy. This takes the total to 41 shell-wielding maniacs. If 36 characters wasn’t enough however, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe welcomes a further 5 new racers to the track. CharactersĪll of the default characters from the original game return, along with the 6 DLC characters including Tanooki Mario, Cat Peach, Dry Bowser, Link from the Zelda games and The Villager and Isabelle from the Animal Crossing games. The series does have a massive following however, so I’d say that a console bundle is a big probability. It’s unknown right now as to whether Nintendo will release a Switch console bundle containing the game, like the Wii U. This will be one month after the big release of the Nintendo Switch.

The UK release date for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is currently 28 th April, where blue shells will once again threaten to hurt relationships. All of the DLC released for the Wii U version will be included also, meaning that this will be the definitive version of the legendary racer. This includes upgraded graphics and new characters. The racing game will feature plenty of improvements and new content. The Wii U game was highly praised in our review back in 2014, which you can read here, and on the Switch it promises to provide even more fun. Instead of a whole new game, the console is getting an enhanced port of the Wii U’s Mario Kart 8 which is titled Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Things are a bit different this time though with Nintendo’s upcoming new console, the Nintendo Switch.

With every new Nintendo console, comes a new Mario Kart game.
