Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit Review Thread
- Thread starter unicornKnight
- Start date
Andre, do you play Mario Kart Tour? I'm heavily invested in that. Played every day since launch.
Interestingly, it's Mario Kart Tour that first featured Mario in a variety of costumes (after Super Mario Odyssey). Each costume for Mario is treated as an individual racer though.
God this looks fun but my main concern is how the kart controls on carpet. My niece would love this.
The Mario set is still available on Nintendo's Store: https://store.nintendo.com/mario-kart-live-home-circuit-mario-set.html
Was able to put in an order in just now. Luigi set shows as sold out.

If you add to cart it says sold out FYI.
got Luigi this afternoon. I assume it shouldn't get canceled as it's Nintendo's own store... (I'm worried since wamart cancel my original)
Me either. Same with the Mario G&W although I'm not sure there has been a preorder for that yet.
Same. Hoping I can order it tomorrow at either Best Buy or Target for in store pickup.
My local target had 6 in the display case, maybe 3 Mario 3 Luigi. The system wouldn't sell to me though 2 days ago though lol
It's neat, but the gameplay can't possibly be as fun as the fictional loop de loop drifting action of the video game.
I think they should have just made a series of rc cars. No switch involved. Just race in real life.

I'm text messaging this video to everyone I know with cats and hardwood floors
My preorder from Amazon arrived tonight, but wouldn't you know it; I can't do shit with it. The Switch client download required to play isn't on the eShop yet. Well played, Nintendo. Well played.

Still such a rad idea
I really hope they iterate on it. How cool would it be to escalate to 16 players support and host RC racing leagues in the community
After school club circuits for kids?
They need to keep pushing live action mario kart

Hope I can get my hands on both Mario and Luigi in time for Christmas. Looks like it'll be incredibly fun to play with my nieces. I fear this thing is gonna be sold out for quite some time.
The client is up for download on the eShop now.
I just took the kart for a spin... Immediately charming, I had a huge smile on my face. I've only done the kart pairing and "license test." I haven't set up the gates or laid out a course just yet, it's already past my bedtime.
If there's one thing it's amazing at, it's showing you how much you need to clean the floors. One spin around my game room and the tire treads were covered with a slight layer of dust. I think I better mop tomorrow before I go any further. lol

Those have already existed for years. Pretty sure they've released those more than once, actually.
This worked, thanks had birthday coupon and $5 coupon from something
AFAIK the game blocks screenshots and video recording, and has no online functionality at all.
Not sure what this question even means.
I fully expect them to introduce more models based on other characters later down the line. It would print money.I GOT AN IDEA
For us people in predominantly carpeted homes, Nintendo should release an "off-roading" model with heavy-duty carpet-conquering treads
$100 for this just isn't really possible for me right now between Quest 2, PS5 and Series X stuff but based on some of these reviews, I expect that this will go the way of Labo and start seeing price cuts in a few months so it may be worth jumping in then just to wreak some havoc around my dog.
I really think that there's a lot of money making potential in releasing additional hazards, karts and characters, I just don't see this having a ton of longevity when the signal of the karts is so questionable and the track potential is so limited.

Ah that's a shame.
But people could easily have used this as a remote camera recording device. Stick the Kart unsuspectingly in somebody's bedroom, maybe on a shelf somewhere. Use the camera to record/screenshot their movements, with Nintendo's Mario Kart gameplay overlaid on the footage.
You'd still be able to do that and watch it live, but not record or take screenshots.
Woke up early to find one. Luigi success from Walmart! Got it for 90 from walmart. Struck out at a meijer before that.
Doesn't seem overly popular in my area. No one else at either store, and at Walmart I had to wait 35 mins for the manager with the key, no one else looking. No one at meijer had heard of it their website had no mention of it. Hopefully some scalpers get burned.

Yeah, these are great.Those have already existed for years. Pretty sure they've released those more than once, actually.
My nephew has the Mario one, and the wheels retract to anti-gravity mode, just like MK8.
Alright so I got mine, Mario version. Very easy to set up and create your driving licence.
Created one course around my front room. Theres a drift button and a hop button, but the physical Kart doesn't hop or drift.
It's phenomenal exploring your house with the view from the camera on the kart. You pretty much see your house from a cat's perspective.

Just got super lucky and snagged the last one at the nearest Walmart to me. Woo! If it doesn't work at my house with carpet I'm sure my niece will love this as a Christmas gift.
I'm using carpet. It's not a full pile rug, but works fine on the carpet I have. The speed increases through the speed classes and mushroom boosts are noticeable. I didn't even consider it before purchase.
Think this would work on berber carpet? Would love to race in my living room as well as my hardwood kitchen.
Does the light turn off when it finishes charging? Seems like its taking a while unless it was dead out of the box.
