During some especially boring holiday shopping with the Mrs., I was lucky to have found this Mario Kart Arcade GP setup:



One of the cool features of the arcade version is that you can put your face in the game using the camera located above the screen. This is used as your icon in a similar way to the DS version.



Not suprisingly, the game seems like every other version of Mario Kart but with better graphics, the inclusion of Pac-Man characters, and more weapons & powerups. I've attached pics of little guide that was available to take with you.

Yeah I've read about it a bit. Since there are like only 100 arcdes in America these days I hope they port it to the Revolution as a launch title. Huh, one of Pac-Man's special items is a Dig Dug enemy. Also what place did you finish in and did you get a memory card?

man I wish those were here in the states. But I bet my cheap ass wouldn't want to pay the $3 bucks I'm sure it would cost to play the damn thing. Damn you you USA arcades !

wow there are so many items and individual character "attacks" I guess. Must play eventually........

Why is Cheapy wearing Ryo's clothes from Shenmue in that pic?

i actually got to play that at a new theater here in California. unfortunately it was only a 2-person set up. either way, it was really fun and most of the races ended in a really close call.

Argh! I saw an identical set up in Nagoya a few weeks ago but I didn't have a chance to play b/c the group I was with wanted to go clubbing........grrr.....

Nippon arcades are so fun. Now you need to take some snaps of that dog-walking game, and what ever other new one they've got now.

I actually was able to play this game... in the US no less. Only $1 a game to boot. Very fun.

AWESOME

wow....it's only $19,999.00 to buy your own cab.....it would look great in anyone's basement...

Saw it yesterday at the Gamezone in vegas....2 player set up. Looked fun.

God, I miss arcades.:(

we have a 2 player setup at our arcades too...it looked pretty spiffy, but i was too cheap to try it out :p

i did had a little fun with the camera thing before the guy told me to pay or leave

The game has been released in the usa to arcades however the last time i checked it was only released in limited quantities so you will be very fortunate if you find a machine.

Now i could go on and on about arcade games i want to play but just cannot find due to the fact that the arcades around me never update anything, same old machines over and over.

I played it actually just yesterday here in the philippines in an arcade. I've seen it in 2 arcades and each play was 25 philippino pesos, which is less than 50 cents.(53 pesos= 1 dollar) it was pretty fun so many items, its a pretty good idea and having on revolution would be wonderful.

O_O

I must get my ass out of the house to play it!

cheapyd pick me up 2 and ship them to me for my home...I'm good for the $$ check my CAG rating

I took my son to the Gameworks in Columbus, OH yesterday as a treat before pre-school starts back up. Unbelievably they had the 2-player Mario Kart GP machine. This game is a blast - much, much fun to be had!

Wish they'd make a GCN port as a last hurrah.
