A new trailer has gone live, better explaining the upcoming Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit, the previously-announced toyset that allows you to play Mario Kart in your living room. By buying the set, you'll get either a Mario or Luigi kart and some gates, which lets you drive the kart on your Nintendo Switch through your play area. Nintendo recommends having a 10x12ft space for the track, which you can customize yourself. Items like Bullet Bills will be usable that speeds up your kart in real life, or there's Green Shells and Bananas that you can throw at enemies. You can also race four of the Home Circuit karts against each other, so long as each player has a Switch system, ranging from 50cc up to 200cc. Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit will be available at retail on October 16th.

a nintendo original! I would love to play. thats a lot of money if you want multiplayer with friends. Anyway, what a brilliant idea!

Can't wait to see some speedruns of this game.

They really need to get some other characters soon. I have a feeling they would sell like hot cakes as people would want to collect them.

Better buy Nintendo shares before Christmas

It's pricy, damn. Would love to get a pair and rock with my daughter. I like when Nintendo does truly original stuff.

Creating a course is easy:

You need the game.
The cars.
The gates.
AND A HELLA SPACIOUS HOUSE!

Too late to do so

wait accc

Gotta say... if they release a bundle that includes a Switch with 2 karts I could be tempted.

I wonder if it would be fun to mod these with high rv electric motors and maybe 4s batterys you get with those diy drones to have them super speedy and ofc build a longer racetrack for them. I guess the handling wouldnt be so nice tho

Not for nothing I hope this does well and plays well you can have Ghost hunting Luigi Mansion or Metroid hunting Prime style gimmicks but fun for kids AR is definitely a better gimmick than Paper Labo not that Labo is bad it’s price point is or was ridiculous

I'd like to know about the video feed and input latency, maxspeed of the toy cars and how long the batteries last.

I'd like to know about the video feed and input latency, maxspeed of the toy cars and how long the batteries last.

According to GameXplain, it lasts 1.5-3 hours depending on the set speed, and 3 hours to charge

“Battery life depends on speed
You’ll need to recharge the karts, but how often depends on how fast you plan on racing. Home Circuit features four speeds: 50cc, 100cc, 150cc, and 200cc. Nintendo says that if you’re playing on 150cc, you should get around 90 minutes of battery life. But that number will go up if you play on the slower settings and down if you decide to go all-out at 200cc.”

Nothing on input lag until it gets released to reviewers

Fun for people who live in a suburb in the US I guess? Definitely not meant for the Japanese market.

 

[Rail Fighter]

Can't wait for F Zero Home Circuit.

 

[spotanjo3]

Perfect for kids. Not for me, thought.

How old's your kid? I thought the same thing when they showed this in the Direct video ... would've been awesome when my kids were younger. (My daughter's 17 and my son's 28 now. I'm due for some grandkids soon.)

Gonna be impossible for people with pets.

She is 6. Already loves MK. Being able to control the Kart in real life would be amazing, but unfortunately, 100 a pop is a bit much.
