10/30/2023 0 Comments Arcades with mario kart arcade gp dxThey have a timed exclusive on the game, which will be available for everyone else to get their hands on in about a month. As we reported last month, the 3rd entry into this arcade exclusive series is currently available at Dave & Busters locations across the USA. I’m not sure when that happened but either way, Bandai Namco America has sent out a press release suggesting that you celebrate Mario Day in connection with their new and exclusive Mario Kart Arcade GP DX arcade game. Today is March 10th, which depending on how you write the date can look like “Mar10” and so now it is called Mario Day. I don’t recall there being much friction, if any, between mascots like Pac-Man and Mario, in part because Namco didn’t have a game console around to inflame sensitive fanboy passions. Of course Namco and Nintendo have had a cozy relationship for a while, particularly in the arcade sector after the release of Mario Kart Arcade GP back in 2005. Times have changed and with crossovers between company characters becoming more frequent (Sonic’s home is practically on the Nintendo 3DS and WiiU consoles right now), memories of those rivalries fade away. I remember as a kid that different video game companies had rivalries – particularly Sega and Nintendo between Sonic and Mario.
