Myocart Live Home Circuit is easily one of the most delightful and creative products created in the last two years. It features a real-life Mario Kart with a camera attached, enabling augmented reality (AR) on the Nintendo Switch. While it might be slightly overpriced, with a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of around $130—about half the price of a Nintendo console bundled with Mario Kart 8, the latest version of Mario Kart—it's a delightful concept.

I've been playing around with it for the past few days, and I managed to snag a super slick Black Friday deal, bringing the price down to about $20 after purchasing a bunch of Apple gift cards for something else I was planning to buy anyway. The product is polished to the last detail and works exceptionally well, although it has a limited shelf life.

The kart drives around in circles in spaces like the kitchen island and the living room. Unfortunately, we don't have enough space to create many creative circuits. However, it's super quick and easy to get started with the light cardboard cut-out gates included with the game. The experience is incredibly realistic, almost identical to playing Mario Kart, the video game.

It's fascinating to consider companies green-lighting products that may not be profitable. While a limited run is possible, this isn't a project you green-light expecting it to become a cash cow. Instead, it's a project you approve because it's probably the most innovative and interesting thing Nintendo has done as a company since the launch of the Switch.

Nintendo has essentially replicated the Mario Kart experience on a 1/25 scale with a little car you can race around your house. It's crazy! You can even have two players with two switches, remotely controlling two of these karts. It's a truly polished product.

When I think of a delightful user experience or first experience, Myocart Live Home Circuit is the one that comes to mind. It blows my mind that a game company could create something like this today.
