Mario Kart Arcade

[Platty]

So i went bowling yesterday with some friends (including oli1983uk) and they have just recently done up our alley, looks pretty good.

Anyway in the arcade area Oli spotted something:

(sorry for the bad picture quality)

We didnt get to play it as we got called for our lane and then we both had to leave early for work as we were both on Night shifts. Dammit! But we'll definitely be going back!!

Anyone else played Mario Kart Arcade ??

[Haver]

Chris and Adam faced off on the machine in the CHAKATRUCABOWA yesterday. It looked like a lot of fun. I was far too wet and tired at this point to digest what I was seeing.

[Colin]

Was that in Bexleyheath bowling alley Platty?

[thesupersmashbrother]

Is that the one in City Limits Xscape MK?

PS I want a rematch with you goron3 nxt time we meet.

Yes, yes what is! :bouncy:

[Colin]

Yes, yes what is! :bouncy:
Brilliant. I'll try and get down there in the next month or so for some games of bowling, then check the karting action out.

Cheers for the heads up. :bouncy:

[Platty]

No probs mate, looks pretty damn good. Might see you down there one day ;)

[Fields]

Is that the one in City Limits Xscape MK?

Yes, I noticed the Mario Kart machine there last time I went. I didn't get chance to go on it. I saw some people playing though and it looked great fun.

[Jordan]

Is that the one with the memory card slots? The Japanese had a version with one.

[Fields]

On a somewhat related note, are there any F-Zero AX machines out there? :wtf:

Not too sure, didnt see any, will have a better look next time.

Yes ive played it in London trocedero and that one definitely has memory card slots.

EDIT: oh yeah i forgot to mention that on Mario Kart arcade it has a camera so you can take a picture of your head and put it in the game and as its a triforce thing with namco you can also pick pac man to play as :)

[Mike]

I read on Teletext the other week that there's one of these in Southampton, although, completely unhelpfully, it didn't actually say where in Southampton it is. If anyone knows, I'd be grateful if you could let me know. :)

[Girly hiyaz!~ Gamer]

creepy. i live right near bexleyheath.

[Kurtle]

The Mario ones are probably more common simply because it's Mario.

[AshMat]

Found one of these in an arcade in skegness, had a go, was rather fun. I have a pic on my phone, bad quality

[Kurtle]

Damn...Across the Thames just to play Mario Kart :heh: I don't think so

[21st century cowboy]

Theres one here in Bradford. I was terrible though. I don't play on arcade racers too often, that's my excuse anyway:wink: . It does look good though. I would rather play F-Zero AX.
I didn't notice any memory card slots when I was there, although I wasn't really looking.

[demonmike04]

One in my town too, suprising because my town is absolutely shite.
Havent played it though..

Anyone know if there's one of these in Manchester?

Actually... anyone know of a decent arcade full stop in Manchester?

[Fields]

Since the original posting of this thread, I have played Mario Kart Arcade, and can confirm that it is in fact absolute wank.

[Cubechris]

Since the original posting of this thread, I have since played again since the time Dabookerman beet me, and yet again it was shit, I lost to a girl. :(

[Solo]

I played it and the game sucked, nothing like what I expected, the photo thing was a nice touch though.

EDIT: oh yeah it was at the Leisure Centre in Hemel Hempstead.

[McMad]

creepy. i live right near bexleyheath.

I swear Hiyaz said he lives in America?

Wasn't he the one who made that pathetic thread about getting shit presents for Independence Day?

[Tellyn]

A Mario Kart Arcade just got installed in Leeds, Hollywood Bowl. Haven't had a go on it yet but it looked good. Is there any confirmation of these memory card slots, and what do they do?

[harribo]

I've played the one in meadowhall and thought it was fun.

[triforce_keeper]

I played it in Spain last year. Good fun with the camera although the controls were abit dodgy!

Oh and the annoying pacman noise. Meh. Meh. Meh. Meh........ SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!

[arab_freak]

On a somewhat related note, are there any F-Zero AX machines out there? :wtf:

I played a HUGE one in Kuwait. You sit in a cockpit that actually moves with you as you turn. Jumps make the cockpit leap upward, while turns make you swing from side to side. It was fun. :grin:

[Ice9]

On a somewhat related note, are there any F-Zero AX machines out there? :wtf:

I've played ones in London Trocadero and Bournemouth Sega Park.

[Kurtle]

I think they should try n port the 1st one to the Wii. :(
Then the 2nd one later on :heh:

I'll second that, it was pretty boring anyway. But to top it off you have to pay for each race!! What i chuffing rip off.
I thought i would get to grips on an easy track, came first then wanted me to pay more to do another race. The cheek.

Hey, another hertfordshire boy!

I have yet to see one of these Mario Kart arcade thingies. Are they worth seeking out?

[Fields]

No, the handling is fucking ridiculous, the tracks are uninspiring, the weapons are rubbish, and it has Pac Man in it for goodness sake. Spend your money on a proper arcade game.

Wasn't in Majorca was it? Because thats where I played it in the arcade next to Porto Pi shopping centre mall thingy.

[martinist]

haven't played one and probebly never will

[Charlie]

Can you snake on it?

[Fields]

Can you snake on it?
It's impossible to do anything but snake. You give the wheel the slightest of touches and you end up turning sharply and find yourself on the opposite side of the track :mad: Repeat the process and you end up snaking around the whole course, though sadly without any benefits.

Well streering wheel games are always really sensitive. You have to get used to them usually :heh:

[demonmike04]

Got one in my town, it sucks.. hopefully we'l get number 2 though, only if it has an improved control system, because the current one is actually too sensitive, im fine with other games, but jesus christ..

Also, its a rip too, so those desperate to play it, I advise you dont.

[Fields]

I understand that, but have you actually played this game? It's so sensitive it's a joke.

[Sexual Chocolate]

Daytona Arcade FTW.
