Wow, great support from Namco.

So this game sucked? I really wanted it to surface on a console...

Played the first one in London early in September this year...it was surprisingly fun, considering all the negative feedback I'd heard about it. Sure, it was no 'proper' MK, but I wasn't exactly expecting the home console experience in arcade format!
Looking forward to this. Perhaps both can be bundled or merged for an early Wii game, who knows?

It has to be better than that Double Dash crap.

double dash was crap?

MK GP's movement was okay, the problems were:
A) Has 50 billion weapons. 6 which are useful.
B) Courses are boring. Almost all of them consist of ovals, and has very little scenery moving.
C) The "Pay $1 for the next course" thing goes against everything that Mario Kart stands for. A Single Race match is just lame.

And the traffic levels. And DK Mountain. And the Bowser level. And Dry Dry Desert. Some of the best levels in the series come from DD.beelzebozo said:

We need a classic controled Wii version of MK not this arcade thud

Actually, if Mario kart used the nunchuk, and I could slide and shit like usual, but then throw weapons in different directions by whipping the controller in said direction, that would be awesome.

Nobody plays it at the arcade I frequent. Everybody wanted it before release, but it wasn't really that fun. My girlfriend played it for the first time on Friday and said she would rather stick to the N64 version. And I've played it maybe 2 times over the last 6 months.
Plus the price is another issue. You have to pay to continue, even if you win. Something about GP is just boring. Maybe the track design, I don't know. The camera thing is cute at least, but playing the actual game has never been fun to me.

Time for a Double Dash appreciation thread?
MKDD is a great game providing you have 4 or more people to play with..(for more than 4 people the loser hands over his pad for the next race to the person waiting)
It's still played here with my friends on a weekly basis, it's kinda like a sport now, as everyone playing has fully mastered the game. We have played all the Mario Kart console games this way since the Snes.
Whilst Super Mario Kart was always my personal favourite, I have to say Double Dash is the better game, due to the craziness on frantic level for 4 people and the banter that results from it...
People that say it's crap just must not have anyone to play with...

I enjoyed DD... not loved it, but enjoyed it. It's fun to play with a friend

The SNES MK was the only enjoyable one IMO.

the backgrounds are really disorienting to me now.
it's like the whole world is just spinning around you. nauseating.
i would think mk:ds would be the one for the snes purists at this point, since it seems to follow that pretty closely.

i had some great times playing MKDD with mates - its nowhere near as bad as the general hate would suggest.

Kreed - We are in complete agreement.
Also, Mario Kart Arcade GP 1 was utterly TERRIBLE. SO very bland and the controls were all wrong. The best bit were the 'ending challenges' where you had to do something odd like run over 15 Koopa troopers in a time limit or bounce a chomp chomp down the course... within a time limit.
Otherwise, it was caca. No high hopes for GP2. They have it in a local arcade and it's not been well-received so far from what few have told me.

haters be gone, i had a lot of fun with the original. yes the steering isn't quite solid but it's an arcade game, not something you own and play a lot. pacman rocked. and i loved the picture avatar racer thing.

The only double dash disappointment for me was battle mode, the GP itself was awesomeness, especially two players coop pilot/co-pilot.
Blue shells blow though.
