Flyers of a second Triforce-powered Mario Kart arcade game have recently surfaced. Waluigi and and a character from the Tamagotchi series are the latest drivers to enter the grand prix. More wacky weapons and avatar customizations are also included. In addition, the collection of an "M" logo item will transform drivers' karts into custom vehicles similar to those found in Mario Kart DS. Like the previous game, the full setup will feature 4-player seating. There is no word yet on a release date.

To make matters worse, scoring first didn't earn you a free race. >:\

I happened to like the first arcade game, but I agree with S_B that the controls were sketchy and it sucked balls that you didn't get a free race.

Adding Wifi play into the mix and Wii24connect to the game, I bet this could be released around Christmas of next year easily.

If I had to guess, this is more of a minor update to entice further sales and not repeat sales. Basically to try and get more arcades to carry it.

QuoteI dunno.. I would rather that Mario Kart were made completely around the Wii controls and hardware, and developed internally.. There's a lot of potential right there.

Same, and I would also not like to see Pacman and Tamagotchi characters show up for the console version.

we had 2 metroids and 2 zelda's for gamecube
seems a bit silly to bash one kind, then the other... when we could have BOTH

Or in the case of Mario Kart GP, I'm sure Ninty won't port it because they don't want people soured before playing the REAL Mario Kart...

I don't mind Pacman and Ghost being in Mario Kart. Its a racing game...who you race isn't as important as how the game races and feels.
I have all been for Mario Kart going the direction of a Nintendo Kart game, but I know I am in the complete minority in that, and I actually understand why. Just to me it isn't a big deal.

It's not like they haven't done it before. Mario Kart DS is full of updated tracks from previous games. F-Zero X even included a version of Mario Kart 64's Rainbow Road.

QuoteIn addition to what Wacker said, if they use the motion sensing in any way, which I'm hoping they do, it will be much mroe difficult.
