Mario Kart Arcade Sequel Announced
New characters, stages and more!

October 17, 2006 - Namco Bandai has announced an updated version of its Mario Kart arcade racer, Mario Kart Arcade GP. Titled Mario Kart Arcade GP 2, the game promises new characters, including Waluigi and Tamagotchi, new items and new courses.



Four player races should be more fun than ever with some of the new features. The game now has voice commentary narrating the happenings of races. New frames have also been added to the Namcam system, which allows players to create an avatar by taking a picture using the game's built in camera.

Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 is due for Japanese arcade release shortly.

GP1 was awsome.

I wish Americans had respect for Arcades.

But we're lazy and fat, so everything's gotta be at home.

Being French, I don't feel concerned!
Anyways, unfortunately, arcade games nowadays are not as popular as they used to be, and it's a pity because some of them were real legends!

Like uhm... lemme think about it OCEAN HUNTERS!

Let's try DONKEY KONG! PACMAN! SPACE INVADERS! if those didn't ring bells, you live under a rock.

Space Invaedrs? Never heard of it.

Tamagotchi? This IS gonna get good. I can see it now.

Scenario: Third lap, and Bowser's well in the lead near the finish. Suddenly, a kart zips in, surrounded by green shells. One of the shells hits Bowser, and the mystery kart wins. When the racers are seen, Mametchi's dancing in the first place box.

Wonder if Pac-Man's gonna be back for this one, too... they did give him his own Mario Kart knock-off after all. Seems kinda appropriate.
