Looks like the Switch variant of "Mario Kart 8" finally has a name, disclosed in a new trailer right after Switch presentation: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

As the title seem to indicate, the game is likely to be the Wii U version of "Mario Kart 8," of course, packed with a slew of new additions including characters, course, items, a radically overhauled Battle Mode and more, according to NintendoWire.

Slated to come to the Switch on April 28, "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe" will feature characters including Inkling Boy and Inkling Girl from "Splatoon" along with Bowser Jr., Dry Bones and King Boo. The game will accommodate as many as eight players in local wireless multiplayer.

In terms of new modes, "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe" will include Bob-omb Blast and Balloon Battle, in addition to an array of new courses such as Battle Stadium and Urchin Underpass. Moreover, players can now carry two items (primary as well as secondary) simultaneously.

Aside from that, items from previous games, including Boo, the item-stealing ghost, the Feather, which facilitate a high jump in Battle mode, are also likely to make an appearance in "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe."

But that's not all; Nintendo will come out with a Smart Steering feature, which has a crucial role in keeping players on the track and keeping the game simple as ABC for those who are not well acquainted with it.

The game is playable in 1080p in TV mode and 720p in portable. However, Nintendo refrained from shedding more light on what the resolution would be while playing the game in portable mode.

Avid gamers were able to catch a brief glimpse of "Mario Kart 8" on the Switch through the console's original announcement video released last October. The video shows the "Yoshi Circuit" course from "Mario Kart: Double Dash" on the GameCube. The said course was up for grabs as a downloadable content (DLC) for "Mario Kart 8" on the Wii U back in 2014, Polygon reported.

The system was initially rumored to bear a codename "Nintendo NX," but the game publisher debunked these speculations by confirming its official name as Switch this past October. The hybrid console is compatible with both standard, home console gaming via a television as well as portable play. Players will be able to move over from the immobile console version to handheld without breaking much of a sweat or losing their place in the game.

Furthermore, Switch would employ game cartridges, called game cards, which will be quite different from game cartridges used for the 3DS, meaning, players will be unable to use their 3DS cartridges on Nintendo Switch, which hits the store shelves on March 3 bearing a price tag of $299.
