From the single-player game perspective, Battlefield 1 is probably the best in the series since the Bad Company games (which are still my favorite). The game has pretty much anything/everything you'd expect in a modern military shooter and is a fun way to play through some key battlefronts of WW1. I'd like to think that there might be some additional story-based DLC on the horizon, but I doubt it...
As best as I can tell, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is just Mario Kart 8 with all the characters unlocked from the start. That means it is still a fantastic game - arguably the best in the series - but there isn't probably a lot of reason to buy this if you are just planning on playing it on the same TV you might have a Wii U hooked up to. I spent most of my time with this in portable mode, though, which was a good way to wind down for a little bit before bed.
The semester is over and the kids are still in school, so I hope to start churning out games beaten for the next few weeks. *Fingers crossed*
There are changes to Mario kart 8 deluxe like the inclusion of a third level of drift boosting, the ability to hold 2 items, break boosting, the ghost and feather item, a couple new characters and all the battle maps and battle modes.
Is it worth a stand alone purchase? Depends on how much you like Mario kart battle. My wife and I purchased it again because we played 8 a LOT! even though our favorite mode was missing. Now with battle mode we are going ham.
