Guys, Im seriously considering getting MK live. I think its something I have never seen before, and it could be something to revitalise my love for games. My son is going to love it for sure.

What do you think? Does it look promising to you? Too expensive and gimmicky?

Importing is out of question
IF it ever gets officially released here it will probably cost a kidney

so no

Also I live in a small apartment so it is not like i have the space =P

No. Between the couple rugs I got in my living room and a step in the hallway that basically would wall off each room, I just don't have the space for it.
The price doesn't help either, and it seems like a gimmicky thing.

I'll be here waiting for Mario Kart 9 whenever that happens.

First Impressions: Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit

Don't get RC about it, you might like it
www.nintendolife.com www.nintendolife.com

Nintendo is keen to stress that Mario Kart Live is perfectly playable in more compact environments ("at least 3.5 x 3 metres", or 10x12 feet, is what Nintendo suggests) – a claim which we'll be sure to investigate once we have the final version in our hands.

some sites say that this is for 150cc and that smaller CCs require less

just looks like something that is fun once or twice, but not worth the hassle or deep enough to go back to often.

I dont have hard wood floors...or the space, the price is too high and my kids would have the same fun with a drone or rc car for 1/10th the price.

I'm debating it. My worry is after messing around with it a couple times I'll get bored of it. I wish there would be a way to try before I buy but with COVID that's going to be impossible.

The novelty of being "real" will wear off quickly, and you'll be left with a shit-handling, and expensive, Mario Kart game that's a ball ache to set up.

No, seems like something that I'll get bored with after 5 minutes, even tho MK is one of my favourite series.

It looks like fun but I'm definitely not the target audience for it and barely have the space to make it work, so I'll probably pass.

Might grab it for my nephews, though.

If a) I didn't have a dog that would destroy the RC car, and b) if my friends were interested in it, I probably would. However, neither of those criteria have been fulfilled, so it's not happening for me.

I think it'll be popular enough with kids' houses. A family that can afford this kind of gift will live in a house large enough for the kids to go crazy on the first floor.

Anyway, if I had kids I'd get one for them, but I don't need this for myself.

Based on impressions it looks like a proto Mario Kart maker. I'm interested, particularly if it winds up being popular enough to make custom tracks a thing in MK9.

I'd love to take it to work and use it around my office/outside but my apartment is quite limited and outside the apartment is begging for random dogs or passersby to fuck with it.

Since it seems the cars are bound to the switch it is a no for me. Would perhaps consider it, when you could play with them with a regular remote as well.

I'm very tempted, more cause I'd like to own the rc car than anything else. Pretty sure I would play it once and then get tired of it lol

I really wish I could, but I would have no place for it realistically. If I was a little kid though I am sure I would try to bribe some teachers to let me set it up in classrooms or something though.

Looking forward to videos by rich kids and the like though!

It's neat, and maybe it'd be fun to have my cats chase it around... or the other way around.

But $100 USD ain't happening, not with a bunch of other purchases happening this year.

Nice idea, but like all AR games, it will be nothing more than that. Imo it's just a new way to sell expensive accessories 🤷🏼

Looks super neat, also something I'll never buy. Cool for those that have the space/money/people to play it with.

If it had support for 2 karts on one switch I would have definitely considered it.
