Mario Kart Arcade GP

[Clash!]

As dismal as arcades are, this totally seems like something that would be brought here in some capacity. Its mario, I have to belive a big arcade place like Game Works, or some shit would grab that thing becauses its a lock to get plenty of tokens.

I just got done reading a section of The Ultimate History of Videogames where (I forget specifically what company) tried to put a camera on an arcade machine to put people's faces in the game. When they put it out to test some guy got up on a stool and dropped trou and that was the end of that.

I wonder how long until this game sees the "YOU" image as a penis wearing a hat and moustache.

It was the game that became Journey when they added the band in later. I was thinking of that and figured they would remove the camera. Namco did release an arcade game with the camera feature before called Gunmen Wars but it was left in Japan.

That book is great, I still flip through it every once and a while, even though I've read it a few times.

And Mario Kart Arcade

Outrun 2 machines appeared at two theaters near me. I think if that can make it here, Mario Kart will be a cinch. I fully expect there to be a row of 6-10 of these in every Dave & Buster's or Jillian's or what have you.

I fucking love Namco.

There's an untranslated Gunmen Wars at Great America theme park in Santa Clara, CA, but it doesn't have the camera.

this is what double-dash should have been from the begining, hope it gets a home port on the GC.

i'm so glad there are not bath-tubs on wheels in this one!

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.

That would certainly be ironic, for Namco to save one Nintendo series right after trashing another.

Mario Kart DS will save the series.
