[8 X 11 Printer Paper]

I don't need these limbs if I can ride this!

 

[ImpassionateGods]

Damn that is awesome. I wish I was still a kid.

 

[daveo42]

Mass producing adult size ones with go-kart engines and offering up stuffed toys like the item box, red/green/blue shell, and mushrooms would sell well.

I'd buy up a set of four just for the local multiplayer.

 

[John Harker]

I almost bought one of the real ones at one of the gaming industry auctions. I think I bids got to like $2k before I got sane and stopped haha.

 

[AdanVC]

Super cool! Glad to see more and more Nintendo merchandise like this!... Waiting for the adult size version

 

[sixteen-bit]

My wife has been bugging me about having a kid. I think I just found my reason to be a dad!!!

priorities

 

[BGBW]

Purchasing for my mate BGBW

Guess I'm going to have to crack out the Wii Fit then.

 

[tsab]

Quality Of Life product?
It's non wearable I see as Iwata said

 

[pizzapizza64]

I am buying this! Having a daughter is awesome.

When he grows up, take a pic immediately after telling him the reason for his existence.

 

[ultratruman]

When I was a kid the doctors let me ride one of these to the operating room for my tonsillectomy.

 

[speculawyer]

It is more popular than the WiiU.

 

[batbeg]

I choose to read 70lbs weight as a suggestion more than a mandatory requirement.

Seems more to me like the merchandising/licensing of characters pillar they also mentioned.

"Might be the last thing the kid does, sure, let him/her ride."

 

[Nibel]

Brake pedal system offers reliable stopping

What about snaking tho

 

[ClivePwned]

now add a Roomba that looks like a blue shell.

 

[Lord Azrael]

Iwata's plan to improve quality of life was to release this product as incentive for adults to lose weight.

And I actually doubted the man. Shame on me.

 

[Crayolan]

Awesome!
I wonder if it would be too weird for me (35 year-old adult), to use this on the streets. Would people judge me?...

[BigBadShamoo]

Adult size version. They were prizes in a Gamestop contest lasr year IIRC

Yo, i need to see these on the road lol. Put this on a running track or something and yo lol that shit would be so insane lol

 

[KHlover]

Wow Nintendo really needs to be stopped. Surely it can't be legal to be THAT awesome

 

[donkey show]

If I had a kid I would buy this so hard so I could ride it myself.

Just put the kart chassis on this and snake your way around the neighborhood: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbGXBUif-PE

 

[Satsunohadouryu]

This is so awesome, if only I was still a kid to ride it without breaking it.

 

[SwiftDeath]

What the hell childhood?

Why you no have Mario Kart Ride on Vehicle? :'(

 

[Hari Seldon]

I'm getting this for my daughter fuck it. I'm not even going to tell my wife lol.

 

[theechrisfox]

Wish I could load up a save from my childhood life and enjoy the hell out of this thing. I sure as shit don't have $200 on that save file though.

 

[pizzapizza64]

I'm getting this for my daughter fuck it. I'm not even going to tell my wife lol.

I like you.

 

[thecouncil]

an approximation of what im going to look like driving this thing through my office next month after necessary weight loss:

 

[Chinner]

why wasnt this around when i was a kid

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

I would've lost my mind if this came out when I was a kid. Enjoy it you little twerps!

 

[shandy706]

My oldest is 46lbs....my youngest is 30lbs.

Looks like I'm buying two of these.

 

[Kazerei]

But does it shoot out blue sparks?

 

[Zeyphersan]

My childhood was too early.

Edit: I also bet more people would be willing to buy this at $200 than a Wii U at $200.

The hard truth

 

[Jeff-DSA]

My kids already have a ride...and the wife probably thinks that it doesn't need to be replaced.

Sorry kids, but the current ride is about to have a major breakdown. TO THE NEAREST TOYS R US!

You're an awesome dad.

 

[nns3d]

Where was this 10 years ago

Dunno if would've gotten it then but as a kid this would've been amazing to me.

 

[MrChocolate]

Brake pedal system offers reliable stopping

Bullshit. Not accurate enough.

No one breaks in Mario Kart.

 

[NotLiquid]

Clearly I was born too early.

Fucking kids today. Spoiled with modern technology - nay, modern merchandising. Back in my day we were lucky if we even got trikes.

 

[PreyingShark]

Can I lose 18 years off my age so i can ride this

Bullshit. Not accurate enough.

No one breaks in Mario Kart.

I've seen 7 people brake at the same time in Mario Kart 7 before so no. They're clearly teaching the kids how to try to trick someone else into taking a blue shell (and how to fail miserably).

 

[ciD_Vain]

Bullshit. Not accurate enough.

No one breaks in Mario Kart.

How else would you make the racers behind you also succumb to the blue shell? Braking is sometimes necessary.

Have you seen Mario Titan Kart Fall 8?

 

[psylah]

Razor makes this weird electric cart thing. It looks goofy, but a grown man rides it without dying and it's main purpose is to drift

[Rebel Leader]

So this is what they meant by QOL.

Spoiler

Make an adult version and I will buy this so hard.

DO IT

 

[boltz]

The manufacturers says that that thing has off road tires, but I don't think it would be too pleasant to take that thing off road.

 

[Stabby McSter]

brb losing 70lbs

 

[Freezie KO]

I'm buying this, driving it to the pet shop, buying up a bunch of turtles, and driving this thing down the 405 in LA like a fuckin' criminal.

 

[Anticitizen One]

Nintendo should drop gaming and get into the Go Kart business

 

[EdReedFan20]

So this is what they meant by QOL.

Make an adult version and I will buy this so hard.

Is this close enough?

Lol wtf (functional or not) why is it so unnecessarily massive?

 

[newsguy]

Dammit my son is only 1
