Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit

Myocard Live Home Circuit, it's easily one of the most delightful and creative products created in the last two years. What it is, it's a real life Mario Kart with a camera stuck to it, so it does AR on the Nintendo Switch. It's a little bit overpriced, I think it MSRP is at about $130 something like that, so half the price of the Nintendo console bundled with Mario Kart 8, the latest version of Mario Kart, but it 's such a delightful concept. I've been playing around with it for the last few days, I ended up getting a super slick black Friday deal and got it down to like $20 after buying a bunch of Apple gift cards for something else I was going to purchase anyway, but it is just polished. Every last detail of this is polished, it works very well. It's got a really limited shelf life. It drives around in circles around our kitchen island and through our living room. We don't really have enough space to create very many creative circuits, although it's super quick and easy to get started with the like cardboard cutout gates that come included with the game. It feels very realistic, like it is the exact same experience as playing Mario Kart, the video game. It's such a unique and awesome product, even though it's something that you only get to experience a couple of times before you can end up done with it. This is really interesting to think about, it's really interesting to think about companies, greenlining products, which will probably not be profitable. I suppose you can do a limited run, but this is not a project that you greenlight because it's going to become a cash cow. This is like a project you greenlight because it's probably the most innovative, interesting thing Nintendo has done as a company since the launch of the Switch. They basically replicated the Mario Kart experience on a 125 scale on a little car you can race around your house. It's crazy. You can get two players and two switches and you can remote control two of these. It's a really polished product. It's the what I think of now when I think of a delightful user experience or first time experience. It just blows my mind that a game company created it today. That's it.
