Thankfully, this is one case where I haven’t regretted it in the slightest, because this game…
It baffles me that Nintendo Switch never had a new Mario Kart game. After all, it is one of Nintendo’s most loved series that spans generations of players! Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was adequate, especially considering what the Booster Pack adds, but I swear I’ve seen people frothing at the…
