Fun fact: [url=https://www.mariowiki.com/Mario_Kart_8_item_probability_distributions]Item distribution is actually weighted AGAINST cpu players.[/url] (these are the stats from Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U but outside a couple small tweaks I doubt it's much different in Deluxe) Of note is how they can get single bananas and green shells at any distance from first (real players only get them when close to first), how blue shells are only gotten very rarely in a small distance window by them, and how they straight up NEVER get triple red shells. Most perceived (item based, at least) "computer cheating" is actually just confirmation bias.

Seeing some Mario Kart 8 Deluxe gameplay from Mankalor and also the game itself when I was at the mall for a Nintendo Switch sneakpeek, this game, for me, is definitely worth a buy. Since i mostly prefer Mario games, I would get that one first. In addition to this, Nintendo Switch also acts as a portable console. That means one thing for sure: WE CAN PLAY MARIO KART 8 DELUXE ON THE GO! Oooh! (Also, anyone noticed the offensive Splatoon Inkling gesture? I watched a GameXplain video about it)

I never knew that gesture was considered offensive.

Neither did Nintendo

What was the gesture?

Grabbing the crook of your arm with your other hand, bending your arm about ninety degrees, and thrusting the whole works up. It translates basically to "take this and shove it up your arse." It's also the Spaceballs Salute.
