Gimmick that will get boring after an hour, max two. One the same course over and over. Yes you can get up and rearrange the furniture, make a new lap, but how much can you actually change and interesting for how long? Gimmick, hopefully you can return it.

i think you can add cpu racers too, obvisouly theis is not an online racing game since it streams the track from the kart to the switch so how would it even work online you control a kart on a random people house? lol and get to see their house or even ride their kart off a pack of stairs or out of the room? lol

Up to 4 players and 1 cpu racer I think, the trailer doesn't show any more than 5 on the track

didn't you see in the video (did you even watch it...) all the different layouts?

Looks pretty cool, but I'm sure I live in too much cramped squalor to properly setup the courses.

It's a toy for kids more or less - they would get more mileage out of the whole AR aspect and improvising tracks with household items.

Yep, I think it's missing something.

I see the point. Well, I can't judge in that aspect, I would buy one if I was asked to.

Edit: sorry about the double post.

Ok so this is really cool. Will it work with a modded switch? Also you think it can do ramps and jump?

You can bet your ass it won't be cheap.

Nintendo makes you pay a lot of moneys for cardboard, of course it won't be cheap.

I haven't bought a RC car in years but considering it streams HD live video, I'd say $99 is a good price

While a fun toy, is probably quite reduced even compared to GBA Mario Kart.

If you have hotspot on your phone and can make a wifi connection, im sure you can take this anywhere outside and make a large track.

im pretty sure this wont need an hot spot to work, it will connect to the switch via local wifi, like multiplayer games do, i doubt you need am hot spot to connect your switch and kart...

Nice. I'd really like to buy that, but ...
It's 130 € in germany.
And a box comes only with one driver and there's no TV splitscreen too. Such a shame.
If the price drops I'd consider getting Luigi though.
Hope they add Yoshi soon as my buddy loves him and that would raise the chance I won't be alone with this one lol.

why do you even want tv splitscreen? when you need a single switch for each kart? that means you need atleast 2 switches to do real multiplayer without cpu, so what would split-screen do when you cant play 2 players on the same console?

That's the whole point I'm talking about ... that you can't use two figures on one console but need one console per figure instead.

you cant expect the switch to be getting 2 live hd streams and showing at the same time with ar stuff involved for each stream can you? switch is not that good spec-wise to do that at all.

So all you need is the switch and RC kart? That would be cool.

But if you are saying you still need a local router spitting out wifi, then that is what I am saying. You can just use your phones hotspot (which has local wifi ) and link them up.

why would you need a damn rooter lol? you dont need a rooter to play multiplayer games locally... the switch can communicate with other wifi devices without needing a rooter, so it will just be a kart and a switch to work.
