Grab Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit for £55 from Amazon

The AR version of Mario Kart for the Nintendo Switch - Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit - is down to its lowest price yet at Amazon, just £55 for the Mario version of the game or £57 for the Luigi version.

If you're not familiar with Home Circuit, it essentially transforms your living room - or any other area of your house - into a Mario Kart racecourse by using the AR camera on the RC race car that comes bundled with the game. All you'll need to do is place the four cardboard gates also included with the game down onto an open space in your home to create the track.

Speaking of space, it's worth noting that you need a decent amount of it to play the game properly: 10 by 12 feet is the minimum amount recommended by Nintendo.

So how does the whole experience play out? One of the biggest barriers to picking this up at launch was the price tag of £100. Now that it's available for half the price, we'd seriously recommend checking it out.

It's a great addition to the Nintendo Switch library, and if you've still not got round to picking up a Switch yet, you can check out the best deals on Nintendo Switch bundles.

As for Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit, Martin Robinson called it a “brilliantly faithful AR take on Mario Kart,” in his review, but also noted there are some hiccups with the Switch's lacklustre Wi-Fi, and you're gonna need three friends willing to drop £55 each to experience the game at its best: in multiplayer, of course.

Lobbing a blue shell at your mates is somehow even more satisfying when it's on your living room floor in AR - just make sure you've moved your pets out the way. We won't be held responsible for your cat or dog taking a mini Mario to the paw.

Home Circuit is a promising sign of things to come for Nintendo's foray into the world of AR, and we can't wait to see what's next. We're just as excited to see what Switch hardware, accessories and games end up in this year's Black Friday sale too, and we'd recommend bookmarking our round-up of the best Nintendo Switch Black Friday deals, which we'll be updating as soon as we hear what's included.
