uk Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 3 tournament in London

Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 3 tournament in LondonFighting game tournaments are not uncommon. Sadly, the same can't be said about racing games. For speed fanatics out there, a big Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 3 tournament will be held this weekend at the Las Vegas arcade in Soho, London. This knockout tournament will be held on 4 machines simultaneously; players will be divided into groups of 4 in a random draw. A race will be held between the 4 members of the group at the end of which the two best players go to the next round, the drivers who came third and fourth will be eliminated. The use of a savegame card is not mandatory but is of course encouraged. Located on Wardour Street in Soho, the Las Vegas arcade became the meeting place for arcade game loving Londoners since the closure of the Trocadero arcades. The action takes place in the basement, the ground floor being filled with jackpots (there's also a Metallica pinball table there). Dance game tournaments (Pump It Up! and DanceDanceRevolution) are regularly held there but the Wangan Midnight tournament is a first. See you on Saturday, April 19 at 15:00 in the basement of the Las Vegas arcade on Wardour Street in London for the Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 3 tournament organized in cooperation with UK Arcade Racers. This is also an opportunity to show Bandai Namco Games the interest in this series in Europe because at this time, the release of Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 5 on the old continent is a nothing but a sweet dream. If you can be there, please confirm your entry on the Facebook event page. But first, be sure to read the full rules at UK Arcade Racers blog.
