I was interested at first, but it will just make me mad that we still don't have a show about REAL professional racing.

Dammit, when we will get a show about Formula 1? WRC? FIA GT?

Hell, if you want to stick to Japanese racing organizations, we still have Super GT and D1.

EDIT: OH damn was that a Nissan GTR and a Toyota FT-86 I just saw?

Can't tell the red car the tester is driving though, an ASL Gairaya perhaps...

SUPEREDIT: Okay, this game looks so ridiculous I almost want to play it. Man, why are Japanese ads so much cooler than US ones?

I haven't the slightest idea as to what the name of the arcade's title is, but that was some EPIC racing and battling that I saw in both those videos! Very Happy

What show? Confused Perhaps it may be referring to those vehicle-transforming battle robots featured within those two YouTube videos?

An anime show adapted from it airs in October

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9S1gDN7NiHU

Reminds me of Danball Senki, only with cars instead of tabletop figures

Well, at least this is better than watching NASCAR Racing, in which the only action the racers ever do there is turn left in an oval course for 500+ laps all throughout the entire day. Smile

Interesting. Smile I wonder if the folks in charge of Gyrozetter (I think that's the name of it, since I heard it [Jairozetta?] mentioned in that YouTube video you just showed) have any plans of somehow getting this show to appear in this U.S. sometime?

Speak for yourself. NASCAR is actually one of the most technical, difficult, and strategy-filled racing disciplines out there...though it takes a true car otaku like me to really notice and care about those kinds of things.

It's more fun to race in than it is to watch, I'll give you that one.

When you're surrounded by 40 other cars all going 200 mph turning left with you, turning left isn't as easy as you think. Sure if you're by yourself. Laughing

All right, it seems that you and Chagen46 may have been hurt by my earlier post concerning NASCAR, and I'm really, really sorry about that. Yes, I do understand the difficulties the racers at NASCAR go through everyday (enduring the stress of G-forces, racing in packs, etc.) - I'm not denying that fact. It's just that, from my viewpoint, I find their concept of racing around in an oval to be boring, even if I were to be in the place of a NASCAR racer taking part in the race myself. But, my viewpoint is just that, a mere viewpoint. If you folks find NASCAR to be enjoyable, then, by all means, enjoy NASCAR! Smile
