Just imagine: now you can pretend that you&#8217;re actually a race car driver on Rainbow Road. We\u2019re not sure if you&#8217;re more of a Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2 or Zelda person, but it&#8217;s worth a try, isn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-103296\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/mariokartswitch.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/mariokartswitch.jpg 960w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/mariokartswitch-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/mariokartswitch-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/mariokartswitch-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/mariokartswitch-664x374.jpg 664w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/mariokartswitch-238x134.jpg 238w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/mariokartswitch-436x246.jpg 436w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/mariokartswitch-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/mariokartswitch-304x170.jpg 304w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To be able to play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with Toy-Con handlebars, you\u2019ll still have to get the Nintendo Labo variety kit. If you haven\u2019t already fallen in love with the Big N&#8217;s IRL building game, it could indeed be worth it, because thanks to Toy-Con, you can turn the handlebars to take a turn and twist the right handlebar to accelerate.<\/p>\n<p>In short, the sensations claim to be as close as possible to those of a real motorbike (except that this one\u2019s made of cardboard). It\u2019s something to improve your game experience after you discover this great accessory for playing vertical games on the Nintendo Switch.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-card-starred-link\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-starred-link__img\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/mariokart.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__col-title\">\r\n        <p class=\"sc-card-starred-link__title\">Watch: Mario Kart VR looks INTENSE<\/p>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-starred-link__button\" href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/watch-mario-kart-vr-looks-intense\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer sponsored\">Would you play this?<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-starred-link__link\" href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/watch-mario-kart-vr-looks-intense\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer sponsored\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After launching Nintendo Labo a few weeks ago, the Japanese company has announced the arrival of the first compatible game.
