Mario Kart 8 (Wii U vs Switch) Side by Side Comparison - HD 60 fps 

Played both titles for more than a year. Is the same game, the only difference is the extra cars, multiplayer and the resolution. 1080p for switch and 720p for wii u. Great games!

Almost completely identical, from what I can see. The Wii U version looks fantastic and has aged incredibly well. The Switch version looks awesome, too, but I can't tell that it looks any better than Wii U, even in the far-off backgrounds where I'd expect cuts or improvements to be made.

The 2 biggest differences is about $40 and the work “Deluxe.”

Wii U shows more detail on ground than Switch

All this game shows is the Switch is barely any better than Wii U.

Good comparison. Sad that there will be a lot of Switch bias in the comments, though.

ctrl+C ctrl+V e nintendo enriquecendo facil kkk

Plankton's Robotic Revenge PS3 vs Wii U comparison since you own those versions and not the Xbox 360 version?

"The same chingadera" -Mexican parents

Both run 60fps. WiiU renders at 720p, Switch renders at 1080p if you wanta be a resolution snob lol.

Wiiu

I got both versions of this game (Hadnt played vanilla Mario Kart 8 since i bought a Switch back in 2019 due to the extras and the portability). Obvious differences, the first/top menu and title screen along with more iems on the menu like Labo Mode in example, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe can go up to 8 players (with of course more Switch consoles needed) while Mario Kart 8 goes up to four only, there are unlockables and DLC in Mario Kart 8, but are available from the beginning in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with only 1 character to unlock (You can find that out for yourselves but be warned..... Unlocking the character is a pain in the ass) plus some new ones like The Inklings, King Boo, Dry Bones, Bowser Jr., and lastly Breath of the Wild Link (even tho he's just a palette/skin swap who comes as a free DLC patch), there are no original battle tracks in Mario Kart 8's battle mode which just uses the race tracks as the battlefield (Which is probably the only thing that makes the Wii U version worth playing or trying out), Mario Kart 8 Deluxe however has original battlefields that replace the old ones along with having more battle modes (i think) and two new battle items, the Boo and the feather from Mario World, more karts and accessories, All race tracks are available from the start in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe while four Grand prix cups are DLC in Mario Kart 8, 200cc wasnt available in Mario Kart 8 until later while its available at the start in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the loading screen in Mario Kart 8 only has the racers from the base roster while Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has both the launch and DLC racers on the loading screens, you only carry one item in a race in Mario Kart 8, but get to carry two in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and you now have accessible features such as Smart Steering, and Auto Acceleration. Now for more subtle difference. One thing most Mario kart 8 players dont or didnt realize before was in Mario Kart 8, you couldnt drift and use the brakes at the same time. As of now in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, you can do that making the playing field more safe and fair, fire hopping was removed (Tho i never witnessed fire hopping before so i dont know what it is), there is LAN Mode in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's online mode where you can have better internet connection when using a LAN cable and adapter unlike in Mario Kart 8, and now in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe you can change your racer and kart when in a waiting room as you could not do that in Mario Kart 8 originally. I STRONGLY suggest you get this game to anyone who owns a Switch or is getting a Switch as this is a must have and especially if you missed out/passed up on WIi U. And if you do have a Wii U but not a Switch and dont have Mario Kart 8 Deluxe but have the original Mario Kart 8, then dont waste your money buying the DLC in it as it is included in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. EDIT: I forgot to mention the fact that on Wii U, you have a giant button on screen designed with an emblem that represents the current used racer. If pressed, it honks the horns on the kart (which is already possible with using the bumper buttons). You can also see where the racers were at and what items they have too on Wii U's gamepad. There are things unique to the Wii U thats worth looking into, but i still give Deluxe the gold.

A qualidade dos vídeos deste canal são impressionantes! Saudações de Portugal.

Mismo juego solo con más brillo y colores más fuertes

Wii U claramente superior. Não impressiona, pois no Switch foi um port. Aliás, deve ter sido um trabalho imenso pois, até onde se divulga, as plataformas são 100% incompatíveis. Ps: Como sempre, o Switch suando para exibir sombras. É um "console" muito fraco, já poderia ser melhor mesmo no ano de seu lançamento.

Well a tie but according to DF the Switch version runs better due to none noticeable unless you're look for it frame skipped frames.

Switch has a better Driver than the WiiU. LMAO

good as always

Achei o porte igual, esse jogo é muito bom !.

É tirando o seletor de magia dupla na versão do Switch, as cores no Wii U estão levemente mais vivas, só perceptível mesmo quando lado a lado.. Gosto do jogo que tenho no Wii U, não fui para o Switch pois nada nele pra mim surpreende, não é videogame ruim mas não vejo assim tão superior ao Wii U não. Quem não tiver Nintendo vá direto para o Switch pelo suporte aos jogos mais atualizados e rede da Nintendo pois no Switch está morto, mas pelo menos o online é de graça(enquanto não desligarem os servidores).

obra prima, meu jogo favorito de todos os tempos comprei esse jogo 2 vezes, no Wii U no lançamento e quando comprei o Switch em 2017. Pra Nintendo se superar no próximo MK tem que ter um modo aventura e todas as pistas antigas refeitas, fazer tipo um MK ultimate

stutter on wii u so annoying hate it

I haven't played deluxe so I don't know if there's a substitute for this but on the gamepad you could see who's in what position clearly and what items they've got also that big emblem in the center of the screen which changes depending on character that you can press to honk your horn (of course you can do this with the shoulder buttons already)

The loading time is only thing i see in comparison

At 1:13 watch the bowser on the right side, it goes onto the left side

Jogos lindos e nao enjooam

Eu n sabia q seu canal era brasileiro😮

people are crazy to buy remakes at the price of a brand new top game. personally im tired of remakes and it makes me angry they sell this for the big price and so many still buy this. its totally useless. thats why i keep my old consoles now. they bring back old games to new systems all the time and they look about exactly the same. super mario bros u , mario all stars 3d which includes 3 old games , zelda breath of the wild and now also mario 3d world... why pay such a high price for an old game ? i dont understand those who buy this. you are even better buying the wii u system and get yourself the old version and this way you can also access all the wii u library. i just bought a wii u system (another because i already own one) with mario kart 8 , mario world , mario land , smash bros and another game for 250$ cdn. if i consider that the mario kart 8 and the mario world would cost me 180$ cdn , i paid 70$ to have the wii u system and 3 additional games lol... i saw mario bros u sold under 30$cdn while its sold 90$cdn including tax on switch. wake up guys!

This is from the early Switch era, but that's no bad thing, as that's around the time Nintendo at least gave half a dam about the console. This truly improves over the original in several ways, such as including all DLC content from the original (plus some all-new content), adds new features, greatly improves the battle mode, etc. Switch wins no contest

WiiU Wins.

対戦レースの金字塔 これほど売れたレースゲームって無いんじゃないかな？

I wonder what the game looks like through av cables on the wii u

Parabéns você decide boa noite felicidades para você gosto muito dos seus vídeos você é bastante inteligente sempre tá muito bem antenada parabéns

Más ports de Wii U en Switch de a 60 dolares.

Esse jogo é Maravilhoso. Na moral. Puta jogaço divertido pra caraca.❤MK

Mario kart 8: ray tracing edition

Não esperava um game em português numa plataforma Nintendo.

Second view

Switch Full RGB support, locked 60fps, 1080p Wii-U YUV 4:2:0 color, weird 59fps render output, cause mild stutter on 60fps HDTV's 720P. P.s I own both, so no 'hating' Wii-U version was still great when it came out.

Performances idênticas, sem mais!!

H

Muito bom

I just got into Deluxe and honestly from playing the new courses, holy shit the game frame drops alot. I can't be the only one who notices that right? Was wii like that at all?

Jo

Nintendo is cringe
