Mario Kart Live: Don't Forget Nintendo's Roots

When Nintendo announced Mario Kart Live I was hyped! I knew I would be able to make different themed tracks with my toy collection. As I was making my tracks I remember that before video games Nintendo was a toy maker as well I think that this history of toy making is what allows Nintendo to green light projects like Labo and Mario Kart Live.

I'm a 56 year old that started out in radio control in the mid 70's and eventually an avid collector of unusual and rare vintage R/C. Back in 74 my dad got a Magnavox Odyssey and I got the first look into the start of gaming on a screen. Then years later the NES came out and forever made me a Nintendo fan. When Mario Cart live home circuit came out and I played it the first time I realized both of my favorite Hobbies had come together finally as I dreamed of it back in the 70's. Life is Awesome now lol.

This was an excellent video that really brought a lot of light to nintendo as a while for me! I really enjoyed watching this video!
As for the references to toys in some other nintendo games, the only one I can think of in particular is a reference to the Ultra Hand in mario kart 8 during the GBA Mario Circuit track. Just a nice simple easter egg that I thought was kind of cool after watching this! Very nice video seth!

Thanks so much for the kind words.

I've heard someone else claim that Nintendo is a company that just wants to make toys! I love the rainbow road track!

[@SethHaskell]

As long as they keep making video games as well, I agree!

[@mandrewlore8810]

I need to edit the footage we took of the Jango fett track! I haven't even started yet!
