    I don’t care about the game, I just want the car with the camera.

    Who wants to arm this Hot Wheels car and a Roomba each with a projectile weapon and see who wins? 🤪

    I’ve been waiting for ar to get good, and this looks like a fair start in the gaming department. When ar-glasses get commercialized people will play fps games in the street. (People may have to walk miles to do missions)😏

    Could they make something for my kids that gamifies doing the dishes?! 😂

  15. What doesn’t

    1:11 You don’t have to buy multiple cars, play a game passing the controller around 😂

    Hot weels if your guys are listening, you guys can use colour e ink technology on these cars to make them actually change colour in the real model

      I think the actual RC car is painted out and replaced by an in-game 3D model

      Sure, if you want it to cost like $1000 maybe

    Bridget Carey is flirting with the camera, nice…

    It’s great to see Hot Wheels do this 🤩🤩

    This is what Mario Kart Live should have been. Extended range, more power in the car so it can go up inclines and the camera looks like it has higher resolution. Now I have to get this too…darn.

    One of those toys that sounds cool but you only play w/ it once or twice. Not for $130

    I bought the Switch one but never actually took it out of the box. Great concept, but never had the floor space!

    Does it work on android?

    Not the least bit interested in this. However, anything Bridget Carey does, I will watch. She is so entertaining! 😂 ✌️

    Does it include ramps, flags, other style qr check shots?
    Does the controller buttons add sound effects or visual effects (explosions, dragons, water cannons, rocket league soccer ?

    This reminds me those GoPro videos from toy train tracks. If future versions come with MATTER integration, these will create endless opportunities.

    Just like the Mario Kart Live, the turning with the stick is very stiff. Pass

    It just copied Nintendo Mario kart live several years ago

    Mean while, I have the Hot Wheelz Stunt Track Driver CD-Rom literally sitting my my desk. Curious how much fuss Windows 10 or 11 will give me if I try to install and run it.

    I want an outdoor version. (For my kids, of course. Not for me. I’ll let them play with it. I promise.)😉
