Community Reviews

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on Switch is being offered as a digital download at a steep discount, and the main draw is instant access to a huge kart racer that is easy to keep on the system. The code usually arrives by email within minutes, often redeeming cleanly on Nintendo's site, and the digital format avoids cartridge swapping. The main caveats are that Walmart's listing appears to be a pricing mistake, checkout can trigger cancellations or unusual activity flags, and the code may land in spam. The Booster Course Pass is not clearly included, so that extra content may still need to be bought separately.

  • Players who want a digital copy for quick access, because the code can arrive instantly and redeem cleanly on the Nintendo account.

  • Households tired of swapping cartridges, because the digital version stays on the system and avoids changing game cards.

  • Switch 2 owners who want the newer multiplayer update, because the game now supports higher refresh rates and up to eight-player split-screen.

  • Mario Kart fans who want a lot of content, because Deluxe includes the Booster Course expansion and all Wii U DLC.

  • Shoppers who need a frictionless checkout, because the purchase can trigger unusual-activity flags, cancellations, or repeated payment errors.

  • Players who expect the code to land in their inbox immediately, because the email can go to spam and sometimes needs retrieval from the account page.

  • Buyers who want the Booster Course Pass included automatically, because the listing can be missing that DLC despite the description.

  • People who have not logged a Switch eShop account yet, because redemption can require a console-linked Nintendo account before purchase or activation.

Got 2, thanks! Unsure if my kids own the game or not, so bought in case they don't. The price was simply too good to pass up.

I bought this but can't redeem it because I don't have a switch (preordered the OOT Switch) shouldn't have any issues redeeming it once I get that in a month or so right? Also, you can't buy any switch digital games from Nintendo during the sale without first having logged into a switch eshop. Kind of annoying I can't pre purchase some games in advance of receiving the console.
Why can't you go ahead and create a Nintendo account?

In for one. Purchased and code delivered immediately. Redeemed code through Nintendo online without issue. Already had he game but not having to change cartridges is a win for me. I wonder if the digital version will be able to read all of my progress or if I have to start over?

Looks like it's dead. $41.88 when you add to cart (at least for me).

I already have an account but if you try to purchase a digital game from Nintendo it says your account must have first logged into the eshop on a switch console.

Wow I lucked out. Still had it in the cart for $19 after the price changed to $42 and was able to check out without issues.

That price was supposed to be for the Mario Kart 8 expansion pack and someone messed it up.
