10 Best Nintendo Switch Games (So Far)

2. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

There's a chaos to the action of Mario Kart that belies its true mastery of multiplayer - a real concoction of devastating power-ups and last-minute position-stealers that can occasionally feel cheap, yet reinforces the notion that this is a Mario Kart for the widest audience possible.

Whether you're a 25 year-strong pro or are just drifting in now, the way MK8 Deluxe is coded always ensures there's a strong sense of competition gnawing at your heels. Mastering the intricacies that lie inside its simplistic control scheme shines a light on how much Nintendo have continually mastered the kart racing genre, and that's before you delve into the endlessly customisable combinations of racers and their myriad of karts, bikes, wheels and gliders.

Oh, and there's a completely reworked Battle Mode, the best graphics of the franchise, more characters than ever and a free online mode for the majority of 2017.

If you own a Switch, this is essential.
