What happened to Anki Overdrive?

[@gingerninjalewis698]

Long story short. The made overdrive then moved their focus to Cozmo and vector. Eventually the lil ai pets became more popular and dropped their support. And eventually anki was changed to digital dream labs. They are remaking anki overdrive into infinidrive in the close future hopefully it comes back

[@Zelabeb]

Anki died first then DDL picked up the pieces and did what they could for the dying brand

[@iam_best]

​@@ZelabebI mean there's a new app with more chapters by ddl. But it costs 2 dollars (psst it's free online)

[@iam_best]

nevermind the app is the same as in the video

[@Exzell0123]

Just remembered about anki. It was a big part of my childhood. Thank goodness they are carrying on with it ! Also, great video !

[@-ChocoBox-]

Honestly I absolutely adored anki overdrive when I was ten, but even then I recognised many of its flaws. It makes me so happy that other people out there have yet to forget it, and that it's still getting a successor

[@Somelevitatingchick]

I was so obsessed with model cars as a little girl so this video scratches an itch in my brain I forgot was even there

[@basketofbuckets]

I remember I always wanted an overdrive kit as a kid and never got one. Thankfully I was gifted Cozmo and hes still running too this day

[@AweDude77]

dude i wish they didnt revert to 2.6, in the newest version (3.2) they changed it to where the weapons had thier own energy instead of draining from your health

[@FireChicken747]

I remember getting this in 2016. It was my favorite toy for like 3 years. And then all this happened

[@TheWhiteWhistle]

Thanks so much for making this. Got a hugely overpriced set a few years back as a Christmas gift to fill some old childhood memories of their commercials, and they were garbage. Dead app, broken cars, barely working system, etc. etc. Had no idea what happened until I realized they must have abandoned ship or went bankrupt. At least there’s some new hope though!

[@Zelabeb]

I’m so glad my video found an audience tbh I never would’ve expected this to do as well as it did. There is hope for anki tho, so far no updates from them yet but I will make a follow up if anything changes

[@dertypderhalt]

Man I loved Anni overdrive, i got it for Christmas when i was a kid and got great memories with it. By far the biggest problem wasn’t the battery life but the missing traction of the cars. They just wouldn’t stay on the track and you’d spend most of the time putting them back on instead of playing. And if you played the campaign you could just win if you didn’t put the enemy’s vehicle on the road agin because they would just drive so fast they dropped off. If they fix that it would be an amazing game for little kids like I was. I also remember the big trucks they brought out. They were even faster for some reason with better weapons and their own overdrive mode. That didn’t help eather. In my opinion you would need to build in little low resolution leds or such to signal a Landmine or the lasers you shoot. And make the race track way more magnetic and maybe put magnets in the tires as well. I don’t want to see this game die out it has so much potential

[@AParticularlyPointySoldier]

I’m glad I’m not the only one with the track LED idea. Of course that would get rid of the imagination part of it as well as the concept of remembering where mines were placed. Adding magnets to the track and tires as well as LED’s would make an already expensive product extremely pricy to the point of not being worth it at all. Most already saw it as an overpriced gimmick toy. With the track and cars requiring consistent cleaning to stay on track, it honestly isn’t suited to kids since they won’t want to. It’s in a weird spot between being hobby grade (in terms of maintenance) and a toy for kids. The only reason I enjoyed them fully the whole time I used them when I was younger was because I had already enjoyed hobby trained and rc cars which require care and maintenance which most kids don’t care for. The product worked well but is just too niche and expensive to really work honestly, at least the way it is now.

[@baconking2745]

Overdrive was my childhood

[@Ejoel07]

I loved Anki Overdrive, it’s a shame that it’s gone :(

[@Zelabeb]

It might make a big comeback 🙀

[@Veany]

@@Zelabeb We'll be ready!

[@kingreginald1502]

For me I stopped playing with mine because of how easily it was for the cars to fly off the track. Once the cars got a little dust on the tires it was over for them.

[@runarahaman6976]

You could have used the tire cleaner

[@CraigDavies.]

Tyre cleaner and throttle control.

[@Veany]

I'm still hopeful on Infinidrive. I just bought the entire Fast and Furious set at the thrift store for $13 about an hour ago! lol Most of of cars have better battery life than others which is why I still look for them to play with them. But yeah, Thanks for the update!

[@Zelabeb]

I'm keeping an eye on it, I'll definitely make an update if they make a move

[@Veany]

@@Zelabeb Hell yeah! Infinidrive will be the greatest achievement in all of race track history! lol

[@malek5408]

how do u play eith the fast and fruious cars i thought the app was deleted

[@Veany]

@@malek5408 I haven’t tried to use them yet. Even if the F&F cars don’t work, I still have a lot more track I can use.

[@dustheg]

Thanks I just bought a a complete starter set plus the jump set for a total of 10$ at goodwill just thought I would see if it is still any good from being an older race set I really know nothing about

[@dylancheon495]

I still have mine and i was sad when it stopped working correctly for me. I also had another product of theirs called cosmo which also stopped working

[@Zelabeb]

I was able to repair most of my cars buy opening them up and pulling the hairs and gunk from the back tires and replacing the batteries

[@misstami7]

Hi, I’m from Spain and I want to download the app to play with mi Anki but I can’t download it. I news some help pls

[@FF1XX]

Nice video! Keep it up!

[@Opmodi-wv6kw]

In India it was like around 500 to 700 dollars💀💀

[@YavuzTheIntern]

So the app is unavaliable?

[@RypienGT]

People are now starting to buy used tracks cheaply, but instead of using the stock cars they use Turbo Racing 1/76 and LRDC 1/64 micro r/c cars.

[@jotaprende]

have you tried turboracing RC micro cars? anki race tracks fits perfectly

[@SKYCRAFTER2003]

On the bright side, the cars and track extensions are cheap as hell now

[@Zelabeb]

Right????

[@zivtong1]

I love Anki overdrive but we should move on, next should be Carrera Hybrid

[@Zelabeb]

I actually got really into carrera for a while with my bestie but the cars became really hard to drive for long periods of time due to wear and tear
