Three play modes
Nintendo Switch can transform to suit your situation, so you can play the games you want, no matter how busy your life may be. It's a new era where you don't have to adjust your lifestyle to play games — instead, your console adjusts to fit around your lifestyle.
1. TV mode
Gather around a big screen and enjoy gaming with a crowd. Dock your Nintendo Switch to enjoy HD gaming on your TV.
2. Tabletop mode
Share the screen, share the fun. Flip the stand to share the screen, then share the fun with a multiplayer game.
3. Handheld mode
Carry around a large, beautiful display anywhere you go. Pick it up and play with the Joy-Con controllers attached.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Play Mario Kart wherever you go!
Whether you’re racing your family on the big screen in your living room, playing in the park, or visiting a friend’s place, Nintendo Switch lets you play Mario Kart any way you like!
Up to eight players can connect for local multiplayer fun via Wireless Play. If you're playing in TV mode or tabletop mode, up to four players can enjoy split-screen multiplayer!
You can also challenge racers from around the world! Up to 12 players can take part in online races, and two local players can even play online together from the same Nintendo Switch.
