Very impressive visuals, and if it plays as well as a Mario Kart game should, I'd be all over it if it was in the U.S.

That's so awesome. Shame it will NEVER, EVER, EVER come over here..Or atleast anywhere I'll ever see it.

that's awesome!

I'd like to think that Mario Kart had enough of a fan base that this might pop up at a gameworks or two, but realistically I doubt we'll ever see it.

I'm absolutely expecting it to come here. Racing games usually aren't left in Japan and this is way too big of a franchise to pass up.

Two things:

1) The Namcam avatars while racing are a GREAT idea. I love it.
2) The game looks nothing like MK: Double Trash, so it may actually be a return to what made the series good. Thank you Namco, this franchise needed saving with a quickness.

It could be an expensive-ass machine like the F-Zero AX one that no arcade ever will pick up in the US =(

I'm still bitter about that.

There's a Namco-owned Time Out arcade near me that usually gets the major Namco titles. I'm hoping this'll eventually show up.

More arcade games I'll never see.

Is there some sort of camera on the game? Cause that 'You' shot in the second image made me chuckle a bit...

Those faces really, really scare me. Plus, it means that i couldn't use Peach without looking like a big weirdo. But it looks like you can use Bob-omb so it's all fine in the end.

Sweet, the more Mario Kart games the better. Hey, now we have an excuse to drag a girl into an arcade ^_^

I just read that website and I'm more excited about Taiko no Tatsujin #7

My god I love this game. It's so addicting because the songs start out easy, but man once you put it on the higher difficulties it's really really hard!
