While its competitors Sony and Microsoft are gnawing at the new generations of consoles, Nintendo has released “Mario Kart Live” in recent days.
Thanks to small karts which are now driving for real in your living room, the famous game of the Japanese firm is played both in real life and against virtual opponents.
You just need to have cardboard doors, which must not be forgotten to pass during the race, to draw your circuit.
A first blank lap allows the console to mark out the circuit.
Banana peels, shells or other lightning always allow you to compete as it should on the track but only on the console, in virtual.
If the test is conclusive, a small downside remains: for this Mario Kart, it will take as many real karts as there are consoles to play at the same time.
Each car costs around € 100 each and it takes € 300 for a Switch.
This release of a new Mario Kart opus, whose very first game dates back to 1992 on the Super Nes, comes as the video game giant is celebrating the 35th anniversary of Mario, its famous hero this year.
A life-size "Super Mario" game where you jump to collect coins and a roller coaster "Mario Kart" will debut next spring at Universal Studios Japan.
