10 Essential Nintendo Switch Games Every New Owner Must Play

3. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Back to the triple-A, and though Mario Kart 8 initially released back in 2014, this is by far the definitive edition - a veritable buffet of content including all DLC, additional racers like King Boo and Bowser Jnr., all DLC and a liquid-smooth 60fps frame rate at 1080p when docked.

Oh, and as Nintendo are still deciding just what the hell the Switch's online capabilities and service structure is going to be, MK8 is playable for free until at least the first quarter of 2018.

Also added is a third boost-tier so you can come out of a corner at top speed, and the 200cc speed class, making Mario Kart faster than ever. Mesh all of those things together and it's not only the most accomplished Mario Kart package on a Nintendo system, but the best the franchise has been since Mario Kart 64.
