Nearly £40 for a rehashed game, people are stupid enough to pay silly amount for this, should have been in the region of £20-£25. vote cold

I have a switch and a Wii u, already have mk8 on the Wii u, is this just a straight port of the Wii version or is there anything extra? Graphics same quality etc?

Graphics get a boost (docked), battle mode is much better. Tracks are all the same but include all WiiU DLC. And other very minor tweaks. That's it! It's an old game but still tremendous fun. Whether existing WiiU users need to upgrade really depends on how much you value the portable aspect.

Wii U released in 2012. So 5 years later and £300 more for a better battle mode :laughing:

Great price have some heat. Just a shame the digital prices are more realistic.

Well I bought it for £35 on Amazon - but as we've already established, no one round here has a time machine...

I don't think in gaming there's such a thing as rrp anymore, as it's always hugely inflated to make a reduction look great.
This price is basically just lower than the arp (average retail price).
