A friend of mine already got his hands on this game. Might be cool if people could show their tracks here with cool decorations. I would like to see a review of this before i would buy it. I also hope they will release new characters in the future. Would love to play as toad or bowser.
Anyone else have it already?

Do you get a code in the box to download the game from the Nintendo eShop, then? I wasn't sure whether it was a free download that was being generally made available on Friday or not (although that would probably confuse people who haven't bought the kart).

I think it doesn't have a code.
You can just download the free app from the eShop.

You absolutely can. It doesn't do anything without the karts, so it's just a free download on the eShop.

So I guess they made it available to all already instead of giving access only to journalists.

Edit
It's not available yet so guess only the people who got it have some kind of access to it.

Ready, set-up, go!

They could have done the same thing with Ring Fit adventure but noooo they had to make us switch carts.

Two new videos this morning!

The first is a video review of Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit!

The other is a compilation of my cat, that absolutely hated it, trying to mess with it.

Apart from the difficulty/inability to go up ramps, this seems pretty close to the modest expectations, based on these reviews, which is pretty good, I think. I think younger people and/or more creative-minded people will appreciate it. After all, one's imagination is always going to be the best augmenter of reality.

Is there any indication on when these will be more widely preorder-able? It seems like they've only popped up on some sites for very short windows, and I don't think they've ever been available to order at Best Buy, full stop.

Wonder how the modding scene on the karts will be, assuming it's viable.

What a shame that the Karts don't even have enough oomph to climb a reasonable incline, and the resulting complications in the rare cases that they do.

I mean, I bet that was a deliberate design decision, nobody wants to read about little Jimmy knocking out his daddy's front teeth by means of high velocity low orbit insertion of remotely controlled Karts... but still. Takes away quite a few track design possibilities.

Still amazed that they even released this.

Also, look at that cat go, haha. Poor bugger. Well, still better than having it randomly ninjia the Kart from a sneaky spot. Although the cat might disagree...
