Nintendo Switch: 10 Game Reveals You Might Have Missed
10. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Nintendo gave us glimpses of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe multiple times throughout the event, but never properly showcased any new features.
Deluxe revs the game up with a huge pile of content, adding five new characters, new items, and entirely revamping battle mode. It's all presented in 1080p HD, allowing for beautiful split-screen.
Mario baddies Dry Bones, Baby Bowser, and King Boo fill out the roster, while Splatoon crosses over with playable Inklings. The lackluster battle mode from the Wii U, which saw players fight on re-used race courses, has been entirely gutted. Now the mode features a mixture of brand new and retro battle arenas, such as SNES Battle Arena 1 or Splatoon's Urchin Underpass.
It's not just all arenas and characters, either. New gameplay features include letting the player hold on to two items instead of just one, and a brand new auto-adjustment feature ensures that newcomers stay on the tracks even at the blistering 200cc mode.
It's no Mario Kart 9, but it's a much-needed improvement on the Wii U's best racer.
