Mario Kart Live Circuit, on the other hand, has been constantly reviewed as a ‘broken children’s toy’ with it not being anywhere near as good as the $100 market price that it dropped with or the $60 price that it is now on sale at. However, some fans felt that it was a pleasant surprise and was worth the price to see Mario Kart being played live in your home. Moreover, some even pointed out that because it was, after all, a children’s toy, it should be judged by what the target audience thinks it to be, and the target market has been happy with the product. Since they don’t know its limitations and faults, children have loved to play with it.
Does that make it a hit? We’re on the fence about this particular Mario Kart game. Our loyalties lie with the franchise, and it isn’t as good as all the other Mario Kart games, maybe the VR and AR technologies of our time let it down, and maybe in a few years, this is what gaming will be like. If you think of it that way, Nintendo might be on to something by laying a foundation for the future, but time will tell.
