Watch Two Rounds Of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's New Battle Mode On Switch
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a week and half away, but we were able to spend some time in the new Battle mode with an early look.
Battle Mode is, of course, not new to Mario Kart, but it is new to Mario Kart 8. We played two rounds of the newish mode. Once in full-screen against the A.I., and once in 4-player split-screen mode to see how Switch holds up to Mario Kart 8 chaos. For the true experience, we all used a single Joy-Con.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe releases next Friday, April 28, and you can look out for a full review of the Deluxe version of the game soon.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
