I don't know if it's only for EU or NA too.

Just picked this up on the eShop sale for $11.

This game is FUN. I like the boost orbs and polarity switching mechanics. Like it's been mentioned in this thread, this game is kinda like Mario Kart - shit happens and you're going to lose and win sometimes on a whim. I think if you approach it that way (you're just going to lose sometimes) the game can be a lot of fun is played casually.

Also I havent seen it mentioned in this thread: playing on the Nunchuck and Wii Remote is way easier on my hands than the GamePad. I give high recommendation for that controller setup, very comfortable and the control scheme plays naturally. My hands got cramped after about half an hour on the GamePad, switch to Remote+Nunchuck and it was a lot better!
 
I don't understand the online ranking chart.
In Subsonic more than 60K completed the first set of tracks but then only 5K-6K completed the second championship.
How is it even possible?

Probably like trophies and achievements, were as you progress you notice a trophy been rarer and with a smaller percentage.

It just means that most people don't play as much or even finish. Many just play it once and move on.

I thought that, though I was surprised by the percentage but the third championship had 15K entries (and you need to finish within the first three place in the previous tournament to unlock the following).

I cannot wrap my head around the math.
Wonder what is counting...
 
How many times has this game gone on sale in North America? I haven't powered on my WiiU in a while so I know I missed a few promos.
 
finally bought this and its welk worth it! its looks so good, it feels very fast and its tough! i really wish we got more games like this. this is the next best thing to Fzero and will keep me busy for a while.

Try playing with the Nunchuck and Remote, it's a good combination!

Yeah its a really fun game, I'm stuck on the last cup - but I'm having fun regardless.
 
I bought this game today and I have to say......it's damn amazing. No idea why they didn't made an F-Zero game but it's probably the best futuristic racer since F-Zero GX. It even has the same anouncer, right?
Absolutely fantastic. I can't believe how good this game looks at 60 FPS. This is one of the best looking games this gen, including PS4 and Xbox One.

The MP seems not very active and that's a shame. What a wonderful game and it only costs 14,99€.....unbelievable.

The multiplayer is grossly unsatisfying because leading is too easy and catching up is too frustrating. Stick to single player and local.
 
I was debating whether or not I should be doing a thread or this. I decided not to and use the OT instead.

Everyone knows this track as an amazing trance / psytrance soundtrack, right? However, it's not available anywhere (unless you count shitty YT videos). So, I asked Shin'en themselves:

Me said:
Hi there. Will there ever be a Fast Racing Neo Soundtrack release on like Bandcamp? It's just so good... please release it. Thanks.

And this is the answer I got...

Shin'en said:
Hi (my first name),

thanks for your email.

Yes, the soundtrack will be released later that year.

Best

That's awesome. :)
If it's thread worthy, you can make one. I can screenshot if needed.
 
DLC should be out today. Unfortunately I don't have my console for a few weeks.
For those who don't want to click on the link: it's 4.99 € in the Eurozone, so 4.99 USD and 4.20 GBP.

EDIT: Oh, and also, the DLC needs 13.7 MB on the HDD and a 2.2 MB(!) download. That was a fast download.
 

New Zendling giving me them Mute City/Neo Bowser City vibes. I love it.
The DLC seems really solid. You can tell they put a lot of work into it.
Need to get back to this game lol

Anyway, good luck to Mamfred and his team. Hopefully this game (and DLC) meet their expectations. They deserve it.
 
Having a very annoying problem where every time I boot up the game, I have to go into the eShop to convince the game I've bought the DLC, even though I've completed both cups multiple times. Anyone else have this problem? Shin'en seems to be aware of it, but hasn't said anything about fixing it.

Same here.

Make sure to yell at them on twitter if you haven't already, I'd like for it to be fixed by the time I get my console back.
 
It amazes me how the teacks are so good but they somehow fucked up doing a good order again. Carbon should be inversed, Iridium shouls have Iceland last.

The haze is downright incredible, while it's a bit frustrating it's easily the best track in the entire pack. I'm glad I stayed away from spoilers regarding the carbon cup.
 
Just started this a few days ago and after 20mins it made my Wii U crash

I think that's the first time it's ever crashed, has anyone else experienced crashes?

Also are there still many people playing online?
 
Was tempted to make a lttp but I'm short of time, just passing by to say that this game is freaking awesome, couldn't resist the disscount got the DLC too, it really feels like a retail game content wise, I love how it's the lost chain between F-Zero and WipeOut <3
 
I'm thinking about buying this game while it's still on sale in NA. Couple of questions:

1. Does the game still freeze (lock up) the system from time to time?

2. Did they fix the problem of the game not recognizing you bought the DLC unless you enter the eShop?


Thanks!

UPDATE: I just found a discussion post on Miiverse which says they fixed the DLC bug. And I'm not seeing anyone complain about the game freezing anymore either. So I think I'm going to take the plunge.

UPDATE 2: Bought the game! It's frigging INCREDIBLE. I'm blown away. And I love the music.
 
Played this today for a couple hours when I saw a new Wipeout get announced. Definitely scratched that itch.
 
what are the chances of getting this in the US ?

i really want my copy of the game in physical form. the WII U is region locked otherwise i would have imported the PAL version.
