    submitted byOgman - 8 years ago
  • A: The title clearly states it is for the Nintendo Switch, PS4 is not a Nintendo product and no Nintendo games ever come out on the Play Station Consoles, I apologise for sounding harsh but it is clearly written in title. If your looking for games on the PS4 try checking the selected section under the categories tab, click games then PS4 and you will find games for your PS4 there.

Q: I have two kids and am planning to buy them each a switch lite for Christmas. Do I have to buy two downloads so that they both can play on their switch lites? Or can I just buy one and download it to both?

submitted by TTMama - 3 months ago
  • A: Happy Holidays TTMama! I would suggest getting one copy of the game per system. Especially if you have two kids. While you can have two users on one switch, if they play together two copies are needed

    submitted byJosh - 2 months ago
  • A: Hi TTMama, thanks for reaching out about Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - Nintendo Switch I would suggest picking up one copy of the game for each Switch Lite. When more than one user is signed into a switch, the games can be made available for use with a bit of set up, however if both wish to play at the same time or to play multiplayer together, and other features you will need to have separate copies of the game.

    Mario Kart Return - 29 days ago, Verified purchaser
    Definitely will not be stopping here....the RSM representative not only didnt take the return but was rude. My son mistakenly bought my daughter Mario cart instead of Wii Sports. On the receipt it states final sale...only thing is it is NOT POSTED when buying off the shelf and he went to the self check out so was not notified it was final sale. So once he paid it became final sale. Will be following up with corporate.

    Terrible Customer Service

    - 1 month ago
    I had a horrible experience at Target and with their customer service. I purchased a Nintendo Switch and two game cards (Super Mario Bros and Mario Kart) but decided to return them the next day. While they accepted the console, they refused to return the game cards, claiming they were non-refundable. At no point during the purchase was I informed of this policy. Now I’m out $120. To make matters worse, I called guest services to address the issue, and the representative hung up on me! That’s absolutely unacceptable and unprofessional. I expected better from Target, but it’s clear they don’t care about their customers or doing the right thing. I’ll be taking my business elsewhere, and I encourage others to avoid Target as well.

    The Chosen One - 3 months ago
    As a Wii U port, this game is mid to begin with, but is redeemed by the dlc released last year. However, this game is going to be hard to continue playing for adult and kids alike, online at least. The core game mechanic from 150cc on up is all about abusing drifting and animations, which coupled with online combat is very hard to pull off. It can be a but of a blood bath, and is okay at best fun wise. For kids not able to abuse drifting mechanics you'll unfortunately get wrecked probably. Sadly playing as your favorite character isn't a viable option in higher rankings. Their is a very thin line online between casual and competive imo, as each win places you with increasingly difficult players. It's doable but debatable how practical as the gameplay itself isn't fun. If it was actually racing then maybe, but it's just a drift abuse simulator in reality. Also on a side note, I really hate the jazz music in some of these tracks.

    My husband and I purchased a Nintendo Switch just for the new Mario Kart. We went back and forth after playing it multiple times at Target. We didn’t like how the game would auto correct to where you couldn’t fall off. But since, we learned you can turn that setting off and it’s harder, more like the original! Glad we purchased, I’m starting to prefer the new over the original now!
