Sure, in the same way something like Ring Fit Adventure or Labo could?
I would let Ring Fit Adventure slide since it is the closest to an actual game but Labo and this are more digital toys than videogames and therefore I find it kinda silly to judge them like ones.
Games are just tools for escapism and enjoyment. They can be judged on those merits. How well they perform technically and how much fun you had playing with it, as well as music, animations, and design can all be critiqued still.
I laughed way harder at the cat video than I should have. We have three cats and I am curious how they're going to react to it.
Oh, that sounds really nice! It seems they found a nice middle ground here. Thanks a lot for the information :)
Lol yeah 15x15 sq ft space is what Nintendo says.
Seems like there's nothing stopping you from trying a 30' long track if the switch is in the center though there may be connection restraints.
I would guess 30fps. A lot of work for the Switch to manipulate live streaming video and layer a racing game on top.
I'm already plotting in my head about how I want to make a track around my game room. The first floor of our house is relatively open - just a stairway in the center - so I will definitely be trying a track up there too.
Does it store replays in any shape or form? Or can you only grab 30 second clips using the Switch's regular capture button?

Yeah. The grooves should be fine. I don't know what your floor job looks like, but I'm imagining you're good!
Will this work on carpet?
The majority of my house is carpet but I do have hardwoods in the kitchen.

Haha yes! I've got all these ideas too but still no pre-order.
We need a slope incline test so I can start calculating lol.
Starting on something like a coffee table with a ramp down, then moving the first gate to the floor for subsequent laps should/could maybe(?) work.
Treadmill is definitely gonna work if we can ramp up to it.
What happens if some pushes the rc through all the gates without you moving the car. Do you still win?
wish i was able to get a preorder in for one of these. hoping to get one on the next wave
why bother gatekeeping if a product can be reviewed
Yeah that would be my guess too... oh well, I suppose I'll just have to wait for the game to be in my hands and I'll find out. :-D
Our youngest cat is absolutely going to be chasing the kart. It's going to make for some comical replays.
This looks really bad and gimicky, like you would play it for ten minutes and want to stop. I'm pretty sure just watching some footage made me motion sick too.
$100 for one Kart kinda sucks since there's no local multiplayer. I think $120-150 for a 2-pack would've been a good compromise.
Yeah should be obvious if designing tracks and obstacles around your house doesn't appeal to you then this isn't the MK for you lol.
Sorry double post, meant to edit in above.
True. Even so though most of my friends have Switches and would be willing to bring them over for some local multiplayer.
It's just not very fair to the thing to compare it to stuff like Mario Kart 8 that is superior in every possible way when they not even occupy the same space.
Multiple reviews note wanting to see elements such as highly interactive courses + costumes being brought over to the mainline games, so that's not exactly the case.
