Are you going to get Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit?

Maybe the person would run their car through the track a couple of times at low speed so that the system can establish the track.  

Really, I have no idea.  I just figured that they had some kind of way to make it so that people can play together without being in the same space with a ton of expensive equipment. 

How well is that really gonna work, especially right now?

You'd need an actual realtime feed of the track in order for the gameplay to actually work though, a recording wouldn't be enough.

The main audience for this will probably be families who already live together, and most places in the world aren't in lockdown at the moment.

I don't see why you'd need a live feed, except that they built it in such a way that you need a live feed.  But, yeah, I get that there are technical limitations.  That's my point - the limitations are too limiting.  

Frankly, I see it being fun for an hour on Christmas day, and collecting dust be the end of January.  I'm interested, in theory.   But, I don't see the price point as reasonable.  It requires a $200-$300 controller too.  

I'd consider it at $39, maybe even $49.  But, $99 is way too high.
