A new Mario Kart that combines realism and gaming!
Mario Kart Live Home Circuit" is a game in which you control an actual kart on your Nintendo Switch, but it's not just a radio-controlled game.
The kart has a camera built into it, and you control it while viewing the kart's point of view on your Nintendo Switch.
The images sent from the camera are not only displayed on the Nintendo Switch, but also include a variety of effects, such as the "Dash Kiki" item.
The "Dash Mushroom" item can be used to accelerate the kart.
The kart will stop when it is eaten by a "pack'n flower" that appears on the course, and so on.
Everything that happens on the Nintendo Switch screen is linked to the movement of the kart.
It's as if your house is Mario Circuit itself!
If you bring your Nintendo Switch and kart, up to four players can compete against each other.
You can race with family and friends, or even with just one kart, since Bowser Jr. and his friends will be participating in the race!
Create your own courses!
No matter how fun "Mario Kart Live Home Circuit" is, you may get bored with the same course all the time.
But that doesn't mean you have to move and change your layout in order to play different courses !
You can install the attached gate.
If you take a lap in the kart, the track you drive on will now become a Mario Kart circuit!
If you want to run a different course, you can not only change the location of the gate, but also change the trajectory of the course, so you can create a truly infinite number of courses.
It will be fun to have people play with the course you have created.
Let's run through the home circuit!
Mario Kart Live Home Circuit" will be released on Friday, October 16, 2020 for 9,980 yen (excluding tax).
There are two sets: " Mario Set " with Mario in the kart and "Luigi Set " with Luigi in the kart, but the performance is the same and the content is identical except for the card design.
The "Mario Set" is the same as the "Luigi Set" with Mario and Luigi as the cart, but the content is identical except for the card design.
Like the "Ring Fit Adventure," which is currently in short supply, the game cannot be played with the software alone, so competition is likely to be high.
At the time of writing, the My Nintendo Store is no longer accepting reservations, so if you find one, don't hesitate to buy it!
