'Krazy Kart Racing' Screenshots, Game Due Imminently
posted August 21st, 2009 11:26 AM EDT by arn in Upcoming Games, iPhone games, iPod touch gamesKonami released screenshots from their upcoming kart racer Krazy Kart Racing due for release in August. The game was announced Wednesday at GamersCon.
Using the traditional third-person view, players guide their chosen character around the laps, using whatever they can to steal an advantage over their CPU or multi-player rivals. Nitro boosts can give a welcome burst of speed, while a wide range of extras that can be picked up during the race and can be used to slow down opposing karts.
The game was said to be due a couple of days ago but is reportedly held up in the approval queue according to Pocketgamer.
It appears kart racing is going to get competitive again. Gameloft also revealed at GamesCon that they have a kart racer in the works called Shrek Kart, but won't be launching until September.
Thanks diabolus
Any word on price? I'm guessing $4.99 or $5.99. I wouldn't pay any more, though I would be happy to pay less.
They included the wrestling devil girl from Rumble Roses? Weird! I can't wait to see the full roster! XD
I'll be happy as long as someone from Metal Gear makes it in.
I wish
I haven't been able to pick out all of the racers from the footage they have of the game so far. I know the Power Pro Baseball big head guy is in, and Goemon is a player (definitely my choice!), the Silent Hill bunny, Frogger, but who is everyone else? I guess I haven't kept up on newer Konami games..!
I also saw Pyramid Head from Silent Hill.
The penguin and the octopus are from Parodius.
I'm not sure about the bunny, it might be from a Bemai game?
The bunny is from Silent Hill. I forgot about the Parodius series..
It's wild that Pyramid Head is in this game..! Anything Silent Hill in a game of this style is humorous, I say!
I really want a good, competent, kart racer for the iPhone. Hopefully this one will be it. Can't wait to see more.
I would consider picking it up at $1.99 but I doubt I would pay more than that.
looks great to me. some of the sharpest graphics I've seen for a kart racer
is there any word about controls?? will there be multiple control schemes?? cause it looks like its auto accelerate and im not a big fan of that. anyone know?
It has accelerometer controls in the video
yeah i can see that, and that I like. but i mean for acceleration and braking. i hope it isnt auto accelerate. or at least has an option for it.
this should hold me over until, by some miraculous event, Nintendo starts porting games onto the iphone
It must have multi-player. Must.
A guy from pocketgamer (they have reviewed a build of the game already) told me that the game really has online(!) multiplayer, but as you can read in the review they weren't able to test it with this build.
I still can't believe it, as most racing games only have peer-to-peer multiplayer via Bluetooth or local WiFi.
But it it's true, I think I would buy this game.
Even those these are bullshots they still look absolutely dire. I expected a lot better from Konami.
Remember me ToonCars for PC:

Those cars look really weird without any shadows underneath them. They look like they're floating, rather than actually travelling on the road.
Why on earth do they not have shadows?
I dont understand why this game is being so hyped, it looks exactly like Crash Kart. I dont understand why it is being followed so closelly. Mabey Its the developer? idk but these screenshots dont do a lot for me…but we will see
Looks better than Cro-Mag, Crash or Gameloft's one.
They need characters from Castlevania. . . . . . speaking of which, where the heck is Castlevania for iPhone/Ipod? Come on Konami!!
I heard that they are having down process. Check out the article
