That would be my number one choice of a cab or even PCB to own as of now.

Mario Kart rules.

When was the last time Nintendo made their own arcade game? It looks cool, but I noticed the Namco name on it. The Killer Instinct and Cruisin' games were Midway. Does Nintendo just design games and have other people build them now?

This game must be fairly new. It's not in KLOV yet (though I must admit KLOV is far from comprehensive).

my guess is nintendo outsourced namco to put it on arcade hardware...maybe because the r&d would be way too costly for nintendo to do on its own? given the fact that nintendo isn't really in the arcades anymore...slam me if i'm wrong

and yeah the machines are linkable ... up to 4

A Triforce arcade system collaboration between Namco and Nintendo, Mario Kart Arcade features the same classic karting action as the console games, but with some arcade extras. 1-4 players can link up, and Namco's NamCam2 system can take your picture and display it above your racer. Racer data can also be saved on magnetic cards like in F-Zero AX.

Nintendo doesn't HAVE a REAL arcade division anymore, no facilities, no factory, etc. They just license their few titles to 3rd parties.

Note, even the new Donkey Kong machine was done by Namco.
