Heartwarming Story Of The Day

Imagine what it would be like if your child had a stroke just after being born. But, four years later, thanks to the auto drive features in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, your child is now able to play games with you and the rest of your family. Ahem...is it dusty in here? I think I got something in my eye.

I have 3 kids ages 7, 4 and 3. The 7 year old is capable of playing the game normally and the 3 year can't really play, but likes to hold the controller and push the buttons. However, my 4 year old had a stroke just after she was born and her right side is not coordinated enough to hold the controller in a way that really allows her to play with us. Well, thanks to Mario Kart's new Auto Drive feature, she can now steer with her left hand and let the game drive for her or vice versa. I'm sure this feature will be an annoyance to many, but for my daughter, who would otherwise not really be able to participate, it is the best feature ever added to a Mario Kart game.
