Andamiro’s Nickelodeon Kart Racers Arcade Debuts At Super MAGFEST 2026

The live music, console gaming and arcade event known as SUPER MAG Fest 2026 is underway, as it usually is at this time of year – and one major surprise is that Andamiro USA has decided to use it to show off their in-development Nickelodeon Kart Racers Arcade game. Andamiro had alluded to this being at IAAPA 2025, then changed their minds and it wasn’t there. We were assuming that it would instead debut at Amusement Expo in March, but as can be seen below, they have decided to show it here.

Thanks to Annon P. for sending this in along with a few details on the gameplay. Note that this is still a prototype, so the game could change completely by the time it reaches production – if it does at all (that depends on testing, which Andamiro had said would also begin this month).

From this photo that Annon sent us, the cabinets look the similar to the render that Andamiro had provided back in November, but there are a couple of changes, such as the seats and the control panel not being all green. It looks like a conversion of a Chinese game called Furious Speed 2 (hence some Chinese text on the cabinet that you can see):

As for the gameplay, which again is VERY early, Annon had this to say about it:

Seems to be running very, very prototype software. Driving is far too sensitive and gameplay feels incredibly stiff.

You also are required to use a d-pad for navigating certain aspects of the menus, and use buttons that aren’t translated from Chinese. Very strange.

Localizing it into English will certainly take place before production, although I would hope that they would get that all finished before testing. Often when a game uses a foreign language in testing, it performs worse, as users don’t like to have to guess at what things do what, and often a game isn’t mentioned as testing either.

I did reach out to Andamiro for comment, and they did add the following details:

What’s on display at MAGFest are the first-prototype cabinets originally used for game programming and arcade porting. They are being shown by our developer, Team Infinity, strictly to evaluate select features, including the networking software.

These prototype cabinets have early-stage build elements (including some non-English markings). On these cabinets, be advised that the marquee assembly, graphics and laser etching were not final.

These do not represent the production package. The final, market-ready cabinets are finished—and look great; we have several at our U.S. facility ahead of upcoming test placements.

For the MAGFest showing, Team Infinity disabled the force feedback. And the game software running on these cabinets is not final.
