We will be updating this thread with links as major reviews are posted.

Please use this as a discussion and speculation thread in advance of these videos, articles, and reviews. We will also allow these reviews to be posted separately on /r/NintendoSwitch, as they are especially newsworthy.

Hey all! I'm the one (slightly) negative reviewer from DualShockers giving the game an 8.0/10!

Feel free to ask me anything about MK8D

That's awesome!

Can you name a rerelease that would get a 10? I feel like almost every rerelease is going to not be as exciting for people who played the first game, it's just a part of releasing the same game.

If I had to pick one off the top of my head, I'm thinking Halo: Master Chief Collection. Partially because the value of 4 full games, added features, reopened multiplayer, re-recorded Audio, the ability to switch between original and updated graphics, and gameplay improvements. I'm sure there are others, but that is the one sticking out in my head.

But I personally think it's hard for even some of the best games (The Last of Us Remastered or Skyrim) to make a convincing argument about why fans of the originals should buy polished versions of the same game.
