I can't be arsed. I probably won't make much on it and I intend to buy the Switch version digitally anyway, so it'll be nice to be able to hold onto a physical copy.

Huh. This actually makes sense. I decided to go all digital for the Switch and I guess having a physical copy of Mario Kart 8 for Wii U doesn't look so bad now.

Of course, it'll be weird when Mario Kart 9 comes out. There has never been two Mario Kart games on the same system before (excluding Virtual Console).

 

[RoyaleDuke]

My mom is a huge mario kart fan and is ready to play the Deluxe version since we didn't have a Wii U when it came out or much interest in one.

So yeah I'm in since I found out that A: it has all the dlc B: cartridge based loading will make it so fast if Zelda is anything to go by C: pairing off the joy cons so my mother and I can play together, which we haven't done since the n64 days.

 

[zeelman]

I'm kinda tempted to trade up to it.

 

[MutFox]

Probably gonna trade it for it.

 

[atr0cious]

Digital on Wii u, so I can't, but I'm keeping my Wii U and all the software, save Lego City, which I sold to make way for the switch version. But the wii u version didn't have co-op and that's the only way I play the Lego games.

 

[neurophd]

Looking forward to playing on my Switch. I have only played MK7 on a 3DS. Is MK8 a big improvement?

 

[Twilight Princess]

I dont think ill get dx, what's the point when i've already played 8?

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Looking forward to playing on my Switch. I have only played MK7 on a 3DS. Is MK8 a big improvement?

In some ways, yes.
Graphically, it takes a large crap on every other game in the franchise and plays better than them all as well.
In some ways, no.
It's crazier than ever in its chaotic bullshit.
In 7, I always finished near the top. In 8, I just aim for the top 5.

 

[Regiruler]

ITT: people who barely made any progress in grand prix selling out

 

[Vidiot]

Traded in to amazon weeks ago for $25 and used that toward a preorder of MK8 Deluxe. With my prime discount the game is going to end up being $25. Completely worth it imo.

 

[Blues1990]

I already did.

Same. Got 80 bucks for the trade in, which I put towards the Nintendo Switch version & pre-ordering a couple of other games.

 

[PunjabiPlaya]

The biggest jump between MK iterations I would say. Best MK hands down

 

[MutFox]

Actually, will sell a bunch of my physical Wii U software.
Then buy the eventual Switch ports digitally.

Switch is the system I want to have a ton of games with me at all times.
Especially pick up and play games.

 

[Agent Unknown]

Already traded my Wii U copy of MK 8 last month with zero hesitation so I could get my Pro Controller on the cheap for $46 with the help of a friend's Gamestop Pro membership and extra trade in value special GS was running at the time, managed to get $28 credit for it.

 

[Gaspard]

I played Mario Kart 8 to death on Wii U and none if my friends ever want to play it so i'll skip.

 

[Lakershead22]

No. I collect games so I won't be getting rid of it.

 

[MicroByter]

Got rid of it already, helped to pay off my Switch.

 

[MoogleMan]

I already did.

+1 more to this group.
I traded mine in along with smash 4 in anticipation of a "deluxe" port of that as well.

 

[linkboy]

I had already sold it last year, so I'm looking forward to picking it up again.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Nah, to me it is one of the games that made the Wii U what it is, so even though I'm buying it again on Switch it'll be a permanent part of my Wii U collection. So many good memories.

 

[Eusis]

Bought mine digitally, soo...

Same boat. And with a 2TB drive there's not much reason to delete it.

Actually, there's a hell of a case for getting a 500 TB external and using that with the Wii U instead. A 2 TB HDD has better uses than being stuck to that.

500 TB seems like overkill

 

[AwakenedCloud]

No. And seeing as Mario Kart doesn't drop down in price very often, I'll probably end up skipping the switch version.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

I already did.

.

 

[Kyzon]

Nah. It's on my media shelf. I keep all my games.

 

[immortald3ath]

Nope. I keep all of my games unless the trade in value is more than what I paid for.

 

[Shotgun Kiss]

I bought it digitally, so no, and fuck Nintendo for not doing some kind of upgrade discount.

 

[The Horror the horror]

Will Delux keep the motion-control steering option?

 

[Shaanyboi]

Already did.

 

[MatthewB92]

Nope have it downloaded on wiiu same will happen on switch.

 

[Rodney McKay]

I sold MK8 Wii U when I heard about the Switch version coming out.

I barely played it and I regretted buying the DLC (even though it was really good DLC). I played through all the tracks once and that was enough for me.

I honestly don't know if I will rebuy it on the Switch, probably only if I can get a good deal on it (Black Friday or something). Mario Kart DS spoiled me with its great single player mission mode and its been hard to justify getting any Mario Kart games since then since I so rarely play them multi-player. But it is a good game to have just in case you have people over who want to play something that's easy to pick-up-and-play.

 

[Neoxon]

I already did.

As did I.

 

[steveovig]

I bought Snake Pass with the money I got for it. Also, I traded in Smash Bros Wii U.

 

[Fularu]

Nope

Like every Nintendo title, it's only going up in value (compared to what I would get by trading it in anyway)

I bought it digitally, so no, and fuck Nintendo for not doing some kind of upgrade discount.

Did Sony give any kind of "discount" for people who owned TLOU? Uncharted Games? GoW 3?

If not, why would Nintendo be any different?

 

[Mihos]

No, and I am not rebuying it again. Switch in a drawer until fire emblem.

 

[wheremypho]

I traded/sold every game in that was getting a switch port.

 

[secretanchitman]

Yep I'm about to next week after I come home from my vacation.

 

[C.Olimar788]

I was thinking about this earlier today. If somewhere - Gamestop probably - does some sort of promotion to trade up MK8 to MK8D I'd probably bite. It's really a shame Nintendo doesn't do some sort of upgrade discount themselves - $60 is a really hard sell for a game I've already spent $80 on.

Spoiler

And even then I would have paid it had they only made new courses...

 

[kunonabi]

I won't be buying any ports when I eventually pick up a switch. I'll just bum MK's battle mode off of friends.

 

[TLZ]

Why should I? It's an awesome game that I still play.

 

[LincolnSixEcho]

I spent a couple weeks contemplating it. Ultimately, I ended up selling my Wii U MK8 copy, because 1080p and a proper Battle Mode was enough to get me to decide to get the Switch version.

 

[Sacul64GC]

I already did.

yuuuup.

 

[-hadouken]

Nope - got it digitally, and have no desire to buy the game again.

 

[Neoxon]

I traded/sold every game in that was getting a switch port.

So just MK8 with the possibility of trading in Smash 4, right? MK8's the only enhanced port that we know is Switch-bound right now.

 

[fernoca]

Well, all my Wii U games are digital ...so...can't.

 

[Quintin DM]

Na I'll keep my copy, I like having a collection.

 

[antibolo]

Huh. This actually makes sense. I decided to go all digital for the Switch and I guess having a physical copy of Mario Kart 8 for Wii U doesn't look so bad now.

Of course, it'll be weird when Mario Kart 9 comes out. There has never been two Mario Kart games on the same system before (excluding Virtual Console).

I don't think a MK9 for Switch is happening. They'll probably just make regular DLC updates to Deluxe.

 

[Sparrowhawk]

I already did.

Same here.

 

[victreeb3l]

I will when MK8 deluxe comes out.

 

[GamingArena]

Nope ill just continue playing it on CEMU at 4k60FPS...
