First Launch Outside Japan for Mario Kart VR Experience

The previously Japan-exclusive Mario Kart Arcade GP VR game is coming to the UK. Developed by Bandai Namco and licensed by Nintendo, the game will launch at the London O2 Hollywood Bowl first, with two further UK locations opening in the coming months.

The game runs on HTC Vive hardware and supports up to four players. Users can physically grab in-game weaponry and throw it towards other players, while haptic feedback technology incorporated into specially designed chairs makes sure whoever’s on the receiving end of that blue shell is going to know all about it.
