Remember the Saturn got Sonic Fighters, then Sega died on its next console.
Next Nintendo console to be its last confirmed

At the risk of unintentionally sounding like a Nintendo fanboy, I'd withhold the laughing emoticons until it's known what -- if any -- consoles this will be coming to. Not that I'm an expert on the Japanese arcade scene by any stretch, but it's my understanding that a fighting game being exclusive to arcades first is hardly weird. In fact, going back to the late 90's/early Aughts, it wasn't rare here either. But then the arcade died.

If it's like other Bandai Namco titles (Gundam, etc.), it will be 12-18 months before there is a console release. Unless the game bombs, then it could be a lot sooner.

Just curious: Did the Bandai/Namco Mario Kart collaboration ever come out on console?
no one asked for thisI'm pretty sure Pokemon fans have asked for a Pokemon version of every genre.
This is going to make sick money in Japanese game centers. It has a good shot of ending up in places Tekken never got into, like department stores. Very nice score for Namco along the lines of the what must be ridiculously profitable Mario Kart arcade games.
Steve is right. Also Nintendo has a precedent for publishing an arcade game and releasing it at home later on like with F-zero GX.
AX and GX aren't the same game.
Does the rest of the world matter as long as they're making bucketloads of cash domestically? It's not like the fact that the rest of the world gives no fucks stops them from putting out a new theatre-released Pokemon movie every damn year.

If by super secret you mean can only be accessed by hacking the game and making the tracks available that way, sure. It's as super secret as Master Hand being playable in Melee.
-Unlocking AX courses through F-ZERO AX
In F-ZERO AX, put your memory card in the slot, and place first in a
course. Save your progress to your memory card, and the next time
you play GX, you will have the course unlocked! Simple!
-Unlocking AX courses through F-ZERO GX
Finish first on all four cups(fourth cup explained later) on
MASTER difficulty.
Tons of Japanese arcade games never get a home release. Like SEGA's really fun Transformers rail shooter that just came out? That will never get a console port.
I don't think this is one of those games, though.

Right, but they *are* different titles, released with different names, different default available content. One isn't a port of the other, they were developed simultaneously. F-Zero AX technically never received a home port, outside of that hack, which obviously isn't official.
