The Week In Games: Mario Kart In Your Living Room

You’ve played Mario Kart on your phone, on a GameBoy, on a home console at even at a local arcade. Now, you can play Mario Kart using weird plastic toys in your living room and annoy your cats at the same time.

I have no interest in ever playing Mario Kart Live, but I’m extremely intrigued to see how well this strange AR/Toy combo works in the real world. My gut tells me this thing is going to be a weird mess that we won’t talk about in a few weeks, like Labo. But who knows! Maybe it will great. Or at least just… fine.
