Bandai Namco Amusements has been pretty quiet lately, but today they announced an update to their popular arcade exclusive racing series Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune, so let’s take a look. I’m a lifelong video game enthusiast and have been running my own arcade, The Game Grid Arcade, in West Valley City, Utah since 2008. Malaysia is one of the Southeast Asian countries where WMMT has a large number of fans, so you might like the update. The new update includes several new Nissans, such as the rare Italdesign GT-R50, the SKYLINE 2000 GT-R and the AERO from SILVIA K. However, given past history, today’s announcement should have included a launch in Western markets this winter. If you don’t know what that means, it’s a sales territory that includes Southeast Asia as well as Australia. I have contacted Bandai Namco Amusements America for comment, but as of the time of publication I have not yet received a response. Regardless of which version is released, I would like to see a retrofit kit available for existing MT5 cabs rather than having to buy a brand new cab. I assume there will be more than a few cars, but they haven’t been announced yet today, so we’ll have to wait and see. These versions for Oceania are still in English, but the chassis is the same design as in Japan. Does that mean there won’t be a WMMT6 in the West? Not necessarily, but the chances are pretty slim.
