(Searching for "Championship Racer Bandai RX-78" on Google yields our nomination thread as the fifth result. Haha! This is clearly not a well-known system, at least among Western audiences. I can't even find a wiki with an entry about this game.)

This was... rough. Played for 30 minutes and it just feels like a poor mans Pit Stop. The controls are bad and the game seems to skip from time to time making it a bit confusing. Could be a problem with the core or the game is supposed to run like that. I am sorry but I don't have anything positive to say about this mess of a game. It was fun trying a new core though!

Well that's disappointing, but that happens. I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but perhaps one of the other nominated games would be better.
