Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit Turns Your Living Room Into A Race Course

Ever wondered what it might be like to race Mario Kart in real-life? While we don’t think it’s a good idea to actually drive a car around and fling stuff at people, Nintendo might have the solution in the next best thing – Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit.

This is a new game that the company has announced that was developed in partnership with Velan Studios.

Honda Recalls 2018-2020 Odysseys Due To Short Circuit Risk

Honda recalls 2018-2020 Odysseys due to short circuit risk

Honda has announced a new recall on more than 200,000 Odyssey minivans, model years 2018 through 2020.  Due to a safety defect, a wiring harness could potentially be pinched, which could create a short circuit and therefore a fire risk.

Honda first learned of a reported fire back in August 2018, but no information was provided to the company for further investigation. After a second fire in April 2019, however, Honda repurchased the involved minivan to examine it. In total, three fires were reported, and after months of internal testing and investigation, Honda identified the defect in January 2020.
