Mario Cart Arcade

Postby ssj100matt » Wed Nov 30, 2005 2:08 am

I walked into my local Golfland and i noticed they put in the new Mario Cart Arcade Machines... I managed to play a few games of it and i was somewhat impressed... Although the lack of buttons for jumping/drifting were unavalible... In order to jump/drift you had press brake which sort of forces you to drive with both feet which is very odd for people who know how to drive... The little camera above the screen to take a picture of the driver before the race is cute but probally wont be too big a deal in the US... Since Namco helped make this game i of course played as Pacman for the first time... Im usually pretty good with the Mario Cart games but when i played I came in First place in every race i was in so the computer was wayyy too easy...Now traditionally it comes as a pair of machines for dueling purposes but.... according a few people i know at my Golfland some fool was upset that they replaces Maximum Tune with this and they decieded to break one of the machines.... Which annoyes me since this would be a great vs arcade game... The games a bit simplistic compaired to the other Mario Cart games but im sure with time they will develop a better game (maybe with a DS connection for Mario Cart DS user stats upload like with the FZero arcade game)...

LUCKY!! I wish I could find the F-Zero or Mario Kart arcade games around here. This state sucks for arcades, they're real garbage.

Lord Kaosu: Don't feel bad about F-Zero. 6 track madness got really old really quick, for reals.

ssj: Apparently Mesa golfland got this sometime last week... I think I will be checking it out in approximately 2 and a half hours.

Ah, so much for that. I really loved the Gamecube F-Zero so I had hopes for the arcade one. I'll never get a chance to play it anyway.
