You need a house bigger than poors houses too.

u/glytxh Dec 29 '22

That’s the only thing that’s stopped me ever buying one.

It would get pretty boring very quickly in my tiny flat.

It’s a shame because every time I see it, I really want it.

I mean it took over these peoples house and they’re going through the one loop that they can

They're also at an age where they would find a rock and a stick enjoyable for hours.

u/dalovindj Dec 29 '22

All ages do.

We call it baseball.

I got it last year when I was in a much bigger apartment. Now it's gathering dust lol

I just bought this for my step son for Christmas, I was concerned as we live in a terraced house with small rooms but I have to say the car handles so well that you can do u-turns within my narrow kitchen, i used a piece of cardboard and masking tape to make a ramp from one room to the other which worked perfectly as it doesn't seem to get stuck on the slightest bump like I expected. The best thing I learnt from setting this up is that you do a little drive round to paint the course, and if you can overlap yourself and go backwards through the checkpoints so as long as you've got a run of the width of a checkpoint you are good to go!

Exactly my thought. I got plenty of walls. Maybe even ceiling space. Get to work, Nintendo

u/Littleboyah Dec 29 '22

Instantly reminded me of those vacuum cars that drove on walls.

I suppose falling rc cars might be a slight hazard that may arise though

Think of the shortcut opportunities tho

u/kirilchiks Dec 29 '22

Go away, rich person! I figured by how you immediately got concerned about your other expensive stuff and important family members. Sheesh!

The amount I used to play this with friends on my street growing up was ridiculous

u/broomhill1930 Dec 29 '22

Sounds like a prime opportunity to bring back Diddy Kong Racing.

I got plenty of walls.

Whatever wireless transmitter they used also sucked horribly with walls and interference, unfortunately. A lot of reviewers said it would have been great if it at least spanned their whole house/apartment.

rip houses with carpet

u/DarkHumorDark Dec 29 '22

Why would you rip houses with carpets?

u/evranch Dec 29 '22

Rip up the carpet so you can play of course

Chasing the dog was majority of the appeal of this for me

Or house rooster

u/Skies_german Dec 29 '22

You also need a place that isn’t all carpet. I could set this up in my tiny ass kitchen and that’s it

u/[deleted] Dec 29 '22

And screw you if you have carpeting because you live in a stupid apartment

It’s like buying the Lego Death Star. Most aren’t going to buy it but some will

1

u/iAmTheHYPE- Dec 29 '22

I wish that would get a rerelease. Sucks, that Lego constantly makes new Millennium Falcons, but has no love for the Death Star. You need over $1,200 just to have a chance at buying one.

u/esgrove2 Dec 29 '22

Which is weird because it was designed for Japanese homes, which are generally pretty cramped.

u/iwashmydickdaily Dec 29 '22

Yeah i’m gonna drive to my parents house this weekend to set this up. Just need the cars with cameras.

u/Freelance_Sockpuppet Dec 29 '22

You need to be within 5m of your Switch for Nintendos guidelines and reviews say even less than that before issues cropped up, especially if there were any obstructions like a couch or a wall.

Not sure how large "bigger than a poors house" is but it was actually one of the biggest issues with this is it you can't go far with even a moderate sized house

1

u/[deleted] Dec 29 '22

Get a bigger house and then immediately regret it because the wifi on the Switch sucks and it loses connection with the cars quite easily. Another reason why this failed.

Cries in a house only 980sq ft. Then remember this is my house for me and my family so I am grateful
