This shows many of the available features that the card gives you, but not all of them: I made a video for my arcade that details how to use the kiosk, so I’ll plug that here. Either way, if you are going to play this game more than a few times, you really should get one of these cards. Both the game cabinet and the kiosk should be capable of vending the cards for a pre-determined amount, although I’ve seen some locations say that you have to buy them from the front desk. If you are a casual gamer (then you probably aren’t reading this, but you can surprise me 😛 ), then you will want to select no If you want to get the most out of what this game offers, then you’ll want to buy a card if available.
When you first sit down to play, you are asked if you have a Banapassport Card. After owning it for a while and spending a bit of time playing it, I can easily say that it is my favorite arcade racer around. I did so after playing it some and doing research into why people love it so much, while I almost went for a Mario Kart Arcade GP DX instead. To make a long story short, I eventually decided to grab a twin Maximum Tune 5 unit (complete with kiosk) to add to my own arcade. So when Bandai Namco announced that Maximum Tune 5 would be coming to the states (sans the Wangan Midnight part of the title), my curiosity piqued as I saw people clamoring for news and information on it. The only racer that I had really sunk a lot of time into was Atari Games’ San Francisco Rush 2049.
I never had come across the first two games, and only played the 3rd once at a trade show. While I have played many racing games over the years, the enthusiasm behind this particular one kind of mystified me (same with Initial D). The reasons for the delay were never made public, but for most fans, many were just happy that we eventually received the game, after Bandai Namco decided not to bring #4 to US shores. It should also be noted that the game was never officially released in Europe. For The Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune (WMMT) series, this falls into the latter, and I’ll be touching on why as we review the 5th release in the franchise.Īs you likely noticed in the stats above, there was quite a gap between the Asian release of WMMT and the North American one. Usually a popular game will get a sequel Infrequently, one of these games will build a strong & loyal fanbase.
There is no lack of racing games on the arcade market, but there are a few which enjoy more attention than others.
