Racing Arcade DDR Akiba, Mario Kart 8 Booster Course Pass, F-Zero X, Stunt Race FX

Race into spring with this racing game themed episode! I explore pro racing simulator arcade DDR Akiba, where you can experience the closest thing to driving on a real Japanese speedway. If realism isn’t your thing, I also look at a trio of fascinating Nintendo racers. Mario Kart 8’s Booster Course Pass gives new life to the Switch’s best selling game. F-Zero X reminds us of the N64’s impressive hardware. And Stunt Race FX is an odd yet important relic of Nintendo history.
