  • It's been almost 10 years since we got a new Mario Kart game, and yet, Mario Kart 8 is still as strong, if not stronger than it was when it was launched. How did this game manage to stay relevant for over 10 years? Join me, as we take a look at the entire history of Mario Kart 8, from it's debut on the Nintendo Wii U to the final booster pass course DLC pack that came out about a month ago.

    Hey gamers! I hope you will enjoy this new type of video. I plan to make longer "documentary-type" videos like these in 2024. Let me know what you enjoy and what could be improved! Happy new year!

      Happy new year! Man Mario Kart 8 came a long way if 20 year old me told 10 your old me that a game I owned would get a deluxe port and later add 48 DLC courses + 8 characters I would've said you are crazy. Absolutely insane life span.

    Next Mario Kart exclusive to Switch 2:
    Mario Kart All-Stars! Every game remade with new graphics but faithful as close as they can. Possibility to play old versions of game as well. Each game would not have the dlc and remake tracks as they'd all be accounted for in each original.

  • @faereman
    @faereman Před 5 měsíci +6

    It's a similar case to GTA V and Skyrim. Nintendo "forced" this game to stay relevant by re-releasing it and adding new content, kinda like the other Wii U games that went "deluxe" on Switch, but on a bigger scale thanks to the new dlc.

    I know a lot of people were mad that this game got DLC and we didn't get a new Mario Kart, but that's not MK8DX's fault. Moreso that the Switch continues to sell well, and I'd rather have a new game's worth of DLC vs waiting for the next console because they ain't making 2 new mainline Mario Karts on the same generation.

    How each Mario kart can be fun:
    Super Mario Kart:
    - How fast the mushroom can go can be satisfying at times!
    Mario Kart 64:
    - BOING!
    Mario Kart Super Circuit:
    - Again! The mushroom can go so fast it’s not even funny!
    Mario Kart DS:
    - If your a heavyweight you can push small class drivers off a track which is so fun, For example; in shroom ridge, If your rob or bowser and you push a driver behind the fence before the tunnel and they get stuck there the whole time lol
    Mario Kart Double Dash:
    - Double The Items! Double The Fun!
    Mario Kart Wii:
    - Funky Kong, halfpipe, bike! Enough said!
    Mario Kart 7:
    - The beautiful sunset when you glide off the mountain in Maka Wuhu is the most beautiful thing ever!
    Mario Kart 8/8DX:
    - Baby park gets so hectic, and uhh all 200cc with gold mush and blue shells only, funnest thing ever yall should try it!
    Mario Kart Tour:
    - Best feeling when there’s a trailer of a new nitro or city, and you spend 5 days figuring out the layout, it will create a memory, I thank Nintendo for the track they given us, R.I.P Mario Kart Tour 2019-2024 (2025 maybe)
