Comparison Mario Kart Wii vs Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Nintendo Switch)?

Is it similar? How is the control (there's no control pad on the switch). Which is more comfortable to play? Are there many differences?

Which one is better?

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It has significantly more routes and you can assemble your vehicle from multiple components as you wish. In addition, the particularly demanding 200 cc mode was introduced.

The gameplay is the same, only Mariokart 8 is more advanced and better revised.

Mariokart Wii is a bit awkward with the controls (my opinion), because they didn't have the technical means yet.

Another big point is the graphical representation. This is not a problem for some, but for those who play the games with sophisticated graphics, this would be a change

MK 8 DX offers compared to MK Wii:

- far better graphics

- mostly other routes

- 48 routes (I think there were 32 in MK Wii)

- more playable characters

- The possibility to put together your own karts from different components (body, tires, glides)

- slightly different items which are a bit more balanced overall

- (In my personal opinion) more comfortable driving experience

- the possibility to play online (this may still be possible on the Wii, but I don't think so anymore), however a Nintendo Switch online subscription is required

- In MK8 there are also places where you drive on walls or the ceiling, as well as smaller glider sections

I personally think Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the best Mario Kart, but every part has its fans and if you have played a certain MK for years the transition to another can be a bit bumpy.

Not really. Mario Kart 8 accelerates the rear players slightly so that they can catch up faster. There are dozens of things about 8 that I think make the game casual, but I'm not going to list them all now. Don't tell anything fanboy f ***

Okay, as you can see I'm far outnumbered in my opinion. But that's because people are not objective. Mario Kart 8 is nowhere near as popular as Mario Kart Wii, even if sales don't show it.

Why?

1. Mario Kart wii had more thrill. Just have a look at the duration of different items. For example the blue turtle. Or falling off cliffs.

2. In order to make the game look competitive, the cars have become faster, the distances shorter and the rear cars are accelerated more. As a result, you stay close to opponents throughout the race. In Mario kart wii, for example, you could get a head start with yours. If you were good enough, the lead was enough to make sure you stay ahead of the blue one.

3. Not can, but luck determines the winner in this game. Do you actually know why there are so many items? So as not to make it obvious that happiness has been stretched, and that can be made less relevant.

I can tell you 10 other things, but I haven't played the game in a long time. That's why I'm leaving it.

If you don't believe me, just ask the question. Does this item help the casual player more? The spectrum between casual and competitive is very low in mk8. That's why I don't like it.

I would have preferred they just had leagues. From bronze to champion or something and you will be matched with equally ranked +1, but the game just a little trickier

Anyway, everyone has their own opinion, but facts don't care about your opinion

Oh yes, and the one who spoke about the online accessibility, it was just a question of which game was the better in function and type. Online was also a feature of mkwii. Whether that still exists is irrelevant because he didn't ask what he should buy, but what is / was better. The only plus points of mk8 are better graphics and more characters.

Even the one with the more routes is riddled. Many routes are too similar. How many rainbow roads are there again?

Woops when OP just wants to know which one is better to play. Mk8
