NWR: "Back in the day, I adored the original FAST Racing League on WiiWare. It was one of my favorite titles on that service and I simply couldn't stop playing it. More recently I replayed it and my opinion hasn't changed a single bit. How the developers pumped so much in 40MB is and always will be amazing. When Shin'en announced their new game, there was a worry in the back of my mind. Could FAST Racing Neo give me new things to be overjoyed about? I rushed to Nintendo's business area, where I spent about 45 minutes with four brand new tracks.''
Shin'en Multimedia, the developer behind Nintendo Switch launch title Fast RMX, has teased an upcoming announcement for the console.
The Fast series is somewhat of a spiritual successor to F-Zero, a Nintendo franchise that has been long forgotten by Nintendo itself. If Nintendo won't develop any more games in the series, at least Shin'en is trying...but have their efforts ended up being worth it? Let's dig in.
This video comparison of Fast Racing Neo/Fast RMX shows just how much faster the Nintendo Switch is than the Wii U.
The fact that this is even news is actually quite scary.
Smh.
This is a big deal to them
Ooooooh shit I cant beleive it!!! Much faster than last gen console while it still hold same 10 years old graphics? Wii U pro
Since it is digital only it shows that switch is just faster overall. The game is not 10 years old graphics as some retard suggests, it is a 2015 game and the switch version has double the resolution, better post processing effects and seems like if anti aliasing is too with other improvements. Also frame rate is better. So it is significant improvement for a game that is a port.
Looks good. Here's hoping Nintendo takes a good look at this game and realizes that if anyone can do a good F-Zero game, it will be these guys.
the environments and weather effects look well done. space level is quite imaginative.
think they went a bit over the top with the jumps on that first track perhaps they could make that one a little longer? pickups look a bit... unfinished or unremarkable, theres a part at 7:20 where the ship explodes even though the fire has disappeared, this probably needs fixing. some sort of damage system would be better than the ship simply dissolving when touched by fire. it seems to be lacking a bit in personality too, hopefully things that are being worked on. i'd love to see them really emphasize the arcade style of this, its like they are pushing for that direction but its not quite there yet.
is it really going to be called "fast racing neo" ?
