Mario Kart Arcade GP DX Announced for Japan

Namco Bandai and Nintendo have once again teamed up to bring Mario Kart to the arcades this summer in Japan. Mario Kart Arcade GP DX will be the third in the line of arcade racing titles in the series, and will be on display at the Japan Amusement Expo from February 15 to 16.

Detailed in this PDF document, Mario Kart Arcade GP DX features a single-player Grand Prix mode, a co-op mode for two players, "Clone" Battle mode for one player, plus a four-player competitive mode. As with previous titles, players will be able to capture a picture of their face to display as an avatar during the game. Some elements from the 3DS' Mario Kart 7 look to have made their way into the game, as well as Pac-Man and a Taiko no Tatsujin character, if the images at the bottom of the screens are any indication.

Mario Kart Arcade GP DX will be released this summer in Japan. Take a look at the arcade cabinet and images from the game below.
