Originally released for iOS and Android this game is making its way to the Vita this week. According to the developer’s website:
Table Top Racing is a console quality, miniaturised combat-racer for gamers! If you ever used to love Micro Machines or Mario Kart, then this is for you. The cars are bonkers, the competition is fierce, the action relentless. Hook up against 4 'frienemies' over game centre or local wi-fi and battle for glory. Win coins, upgrade your vehicles and unlock new cars and challenges!
Bonkers huh?! And I’m pretty sure that’s not how you spell frenemy, silly British people…

This updated version was originally released in arcades in Japan earlier this year; adding 6 stages and 5 new characters. For console and PC it’s both available on its own and as a DLC update to Super Street Fighter IV or Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition. So, including plain old un-super Street Fighter IV, there are in fact now 4 versions of version 4.
