Oh my! How could Namco/Nintendo possibly mess this up :blow_top:

The game just doesn't have that MK feel to it. I guess I know why the current state of the arcade industry is in such sad shape. Games are being "ported" from the home systems to the arcade. Oh well...

which arcade has it man?

I'm in Nor Cal and they had it at the Sunnyvale Golfland on the corner of El Camino Real and Wolfe Road. Most fighting enthusiasts know this location since Capcom use to test at this arcade all the time. I'm sure some of the Golfland in So Cal has them.

I used to live in Fremont and would go there at least three times a week. Now I am in CO and there is nothing! :crying:

OH MAN

it's not just me eh? Pics of MK Arcade GP had me drooling until I got to play it. The courses are too short, and there arne't too many of them. On top of that, getting used to the customization of Wangan Midnight Maxtune/InitialD got me disappointed to.

Oh well.

Okay so I wasn't just jumping to conclusions only after playing the game just once. I've also been drooling at the pics and waited over a year for it to be released. I almost did something stupid because I was seriously thinking about buying a set of them. Overall the feel just isn't there and there are something like 57 attacks that you can pickup but some of them are downright stupid.
