Mario Kart Arcade Game Coming From Nintendo And Namco!

Unlike North America, the Japanese arcade market is still (somewhat) flourishing. This means that they’re getting some amazing titles that we’ll never, ever see.

Like the new Mario Kart arcade title, Mario Kart: Arcade GP DX. The game is set to release later this year, but will be shown off in just a few weeks at the Japanese Amusement Expo. Of course, it looks like classic Mario Kart, but with some fresh ideas; the gliding mechanic from Mario Kart 7 is still around, and this new edition will also show driver’s faces using a unique camera system. It’s also being developed by Namco Bandai… yep, you read that right.

So Namco Bandai is doing an Arcade Mario Kart… now what about the Wii U version? Could Namco be developing that as well? Will the camera features make it to the Wii U version? Maybe we’ll see some classic Namco characters! We should know everything come this year’s E3, as Mario Kart will be unveiled and playable at the popular expo.

In any case, I wish there was an arcade around me so I could get my hands on this!
