10 Video Games That Are Already In The Running For Game Of The Year 2017
7. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Sure, Mario Kart 8 technically is a Wii U game released way back in 2014, but if the port is this good, does it really matter? Simply called Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the kart racing port makes its way to the Nintendo Switch along with all the Wii U version's previously released DLCs, and it even features additional content, as well as in-game tweaks.
For Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, developer Nintendo EAD reworked Battle Mode to be similar to past Mario Kart titles, and even added new arenas as well. As for gameplay tweaks, the Boo and Feather items make a return to the racing fold, and Deluxe even allows players to carry two items at once, which puts a whole new dimension to kart strategies.
There's a reason why Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is sitting at a super sweet Metacritic score of 92, it's just that damn good.
