If anyone's living in Skokie, IL, then you'll find it at the local Chuck-E-Cheeses.

Someone already snapped pics, and it's appearing to use the cabinet design from Sega Racing Classic and GRID Arcade.

I remember S0L saying that there were unused track designs being prepared for DLC, but that never happened. Hopefully, they show up in the arcade edition.

 

[WillyFive]

Awesome!

The game is great.

 

[Emitan]

Now put them next to the Mario Kart arcade game and revive the rivalry.

This game will probably beat the pants off of MKA.

 

[Mockingbird]

Is Banjo & Kazooie in this version? any differences?

 

[twinturbo2]

I don't think they'll be in, and I don't know of any differences yet.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Will this version be 60 fps?

 

[twinturbo2]

Will this version be 60 fps?

Probably. It's using the RingWide hardware.

 

[Emitan]

This game will probably beat the pants off of MKA.

I haven't played S&SASR besides the demo so I can't judge it, but MKA is a pretty fun game THAT I WISH WOULD COME TO 3DS.

SASR is fucking amazing, easily in the top 3 kart racers of all time, and definitely a better game than mario kart wii at least. A shame it sold so badly, but glad to see something else come from it

 

[Busaiku]

A Chuck E Cheese just opened near me.
Hope they have it there.

A few friends and I almost bought it during a Steam sale until we found out there's no online play on the PC version. I don't know any console friends who have it so I just skipped it. I've been playing my 360 again so I might pick it up for that over the PS3 version just to have Banjo.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Probably. It's using the RingWide hardware.

Isn't that the lower-end one (with RingEdge being their current most powerful hardware)?

 

[WillyFive]

and definitely a better game than mario kart wii at least.

I wouldn't say that. They each have different strengths and weaknesses. I got SASR because my copy of Mario Kart Wii broke, but I still miss MKWii. And I would miss SASR if I couldn't play it as well.

 

[twinturbo2]

Isn't that the lower-end one (with RingEdge being their current most powerful hardware)?

Yeah, you're right. I still think it'll hit 60, though.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Yeah, you're right. I still think it'll hit 60, though.

Hope so. IIRC the Wii version was 60 while the PS360 one was 30.

 

[Azure Dream]

Nice, the game deserves more exposure. It's too bad they abandoned the console versions like they did, but considering how badly it tanked, I guess I don't totally blame them.

 

[TheOGB]

Hope this'll eventually replace The Fast and The Furious at Grand Slam.

1. Crash Team Racing
2. Super Mario Kart
3. Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing

 

[Neuromancer]

Very cool. I play Sonic Racing with my racing wheel and seat and it's fucking awesome.

 

[Gravijah]

Hope this'll eventually replace The Fast and The Furious at Grand Slam.

1. Crash Team Racing
2. Super Mario Kart
3. Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing

I respect any man with SMK in their top 3.

 

[goldenpp72]

1. Crash Team Racing
2. Super Mario Kart
3. Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing

Wow.. i think that's exactly my list but I was afraid to say it in fear of the MK defense force.

I could see some putting diddy kong in third, but yeah.

 

[Emitan]

Am I the only person who liked Mario Kart: Super Circuit?

 

[Neuromancer]

It’s hard to tell from the pictures but our tipster who sent the pics in notes that both the sides and the seats change color constantly. It’s an effect that is “most striking at night”.

Neato!

 

[Gravijah]

Am I the only person who liked Mario Kart: Super Circuit?

Has Shy Guy Beach, which in turn means it has Shy Guy Beach music... So, it's not that bad.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Hope so. IIRC the Wii version was 60 while the PS360 one was 30.

Not that I've heard, only that Tennis was 60 on Wii and 30 the others.

 

[TheOGB]

Wow.. i think that's exactly my list but I was afraid to say it in fear of the MK defense force.

I could see some putting diddy kong in third, but yeah.

If it came to a vote of 7 "deciders", I think ASR would win out 4-3.

Am I the only person who liked Mario Kart: Super Circuit?

Actually, no.

 

[Diablohead]

Wild guess but I would think this arcade version is set to hard mode all the time, time limit like all arcade games. Each cup has 4 races so I wonder if winning = play next race until end of cup? would be worth my quid for 4 races.

 

[Why For?]

Such an awesome game.

Beats every version of Mario Kart bar 64.

 

[Azure Phoenix]

Each cup has 4 races so I wonder if winning = play next race until end of cup? would be worth my quid for 4 races.

On one hand Mario Kart Arcade GP successfully forced you to pay £1 per race in a cup, but on the other Sega arcade games have always been time based. I personally wouldn't want to bet either way at present.

Though it's not like it matters anyway, arcades are dead in the UK and you'll never find one willing to replace their numerous awful Fast & The Furious cabinets for this.

 

[GhaleonQ]

Ah, I as going to say that Arcade Heroes had this awhile ago, but now they've arrived. And my mom's side of the family lives in Skokie! Time to make a holiday visit.

 

[wsippel]

Not sure if anyone really cares, but it seems Sumo Digital is currently working on a 3DS version as well.

We care.

Awesome, did not know that.

Oh boy oh boy do I care. :O

 

[luffeN]

Oh, this kind of Arcade, ok xD

 

[GWX]

That's great. Hope it has new courses (and runs at 60fps).

 

[WillyFive]

1. Diddy Kong Racing

2. Everything else (Mario Kart goes from DS > Wii > Super Circuit > 64 > Double Dash > SMK)

Hope so. IIRC the Wii version was 60 while the PS360 one was 30.

Wii version of Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing?

No, I own it. It's 30. The DS was 60, and the 360 had less than 30.

avatarquote and tagquote?

Spoiler

Lolno. OPINIONS!

 

[Blueblur1]

I hope the local GameWorks gets a cab. Everything else in there is like 5 years old or older. :/

 

[Mr Jared]

Awesome news, I love this game. Also, those clamoring for Mario Kart Arcade ... it's awful. Beyond awful.

Will have to harass Golfland management to see if there's any hope of maybe even replacing our MKA machines with it =P

 

[Big One]

That is awesome.

Is this a stealth release, though? Seems to be so

 

[Sydle]

I would drop some quarters in that, but I'm not willing to go to a Chuck-e-Cheese for it.

A few friends and I almost bought it during a Steam sale until we found out there's no online play on the PC version. I don't know any console friends who have it so I just skipped it. I've been playing my 360 again so I might pick it up for that over the PS3 version just to have Banjo.

Still a pretty regular community on Live for the game. I've had it since launch and still play it a couple times a week.

 

[Mailenstein]

Am I the only person who liked Mario Kart: Super Circuit?

As far as gameplay and balancing goes, it was the best part in the series. Anyone who is serious about beating world record times will agree with me on this one.

 

[Chet Rippo]

I just realized my local GameWorks went out of business.
Then again, I only went there once, so that's probably why it's no longer there.

Define 'badly'

 

[goldenpp72]

Define 'badly'

To my understanding it never even broke half a million between the ps3/360/pc versions, which are the only versions I care about personally, heh. It apparently did so bad they decided not to release dlc they had in the works or even completed.

What a bummer. That game is so good.

For the record when I play these days I play with weapons off, I like to think it's closer to the developer's original vision.

 

[SolsticeZero]

I officially want one of these arcade cabinets in my home. I love S&SASR so god damned much. Got my platinum in the PS3 version =)

 

[Emitan]

Was gonna buy it but someone said there's a 3DS version in the works so I'll hold out for that.

1. Diddy Kong Racing

2. Everything else (Mario Kart goes from DS > Wii > Super Circuit > 64 > Double Dash > SMK)

1. I hate DKR. I always thought the handeling was awful, the courses sucked, and while having 3 vehicles was kind of cool the hovercraft was worthless (it made the bad handling even worse), and the flying felt out of place, probably to make sure it wasn't completely broken. I know that tons of people love the game and I'm in the majority, I just want to understand why people love it so much.

2. Double Dash greater than other MK game? Madness.
