Fitting 16 tracks, each containing big ass environments, all within 590 MB is nothing short of sorcery. HOLY SHIT!

Anyway the GameXplain footage confirm my fears. Track design is awful in these three tracks. Straight lines, easy turns and almost no slowdowns for hitting track sides.
Those three tracks are absolutely boring to see, not to mention how boring will be to play

Other tracks have more complex layouts but don't expect Yoshi's Circuit.

For what we have seen since now they're almost Baby Circuits...

Seems intentional because I don't think the crafts turn on a dime like F-Zero's.
People expecting that game might be very letdown.
It's a different animal.

Getting this vibe too. Gameplay looks fine but there is that "something" missing. Especially the hud, looks like an alpha hud to me. Where is the pizzazz

Nope.
No. That guy wouldn't ever admit his irrational hate.

The last trailer brought me right back to the time when I played "extreme G" for the N64 the first time.
I was BLOWN AWAY by the speeds combined with the driving music and FAST Racing Neo seems to be just as rad if not raddier (sp?).
day one
this will be perfect to play in between Xeno X sessions.

Thank you for this, I was a bit worried about this game, didn't really like the original Fast Racing. I was going to buy this game anyway because it LOOKS like the gameplay has been improved but it's nice to read an impression that says so.

I don't know, really..
Of their game catalogue, I have just played Nano Assault Neo, and that was the most fun I ever had for ten bucks for any game I have ever played..
It looked incredible, and played very well.
And, it hads lots of "soul" as well.
If Fast Racing Neo is anything in the same league like that game, I am set for a great winter holidays time..

Nano Assault, Nano Assault Neo, and The Art of Balance games are legitimately good titles.

Agree with you about Nano Assault. That game seemed hard to screw up because of its kind though. This one looks more complex as it's a racer. Doesn't appear that they screwed it up though.

The Art of Balance love in this thread. <3
Such a simple but great game to play with friends or alone. A gem on the Wii U eShop.

Yeah, their game has no main character like Captain Falcon and the huds are pretty simple. But they are a very small development team that produces inexpensive games. It's unfair to compare them to full-price retail games.
Alex at NintendoLife made a video comparing the 3 different game speeds.

With fully procedural environment, at that.
It looks like you could potentially jump over and miss sections of the track in Hypersonic if you were fast enough and had enough boost going into a jump.

200cc all over again.
Nintendos E-shop says 1221,9MB, maybe its with installationspace then?.

eShop quoted space is DL + install. Post install it's 590MB.

It'll have one.
I thought Nano Assault Neo was a bit lackluster but it's still a good game. I wish they went for a more traditional approach like what they had going on with Iridion and Nanostray.
Excellent, the game really does look fantastic, I just hope it is
Pretty solid speed difference between subsonic and hypersonic.
I'm ready for the speed, but will have to play X till next week (though that's not a bad thing).
They are an independent, 5 person tops, dev team.
They've said a few times, they like working on their own. A bigger project would attach contracts and deadlines, not to mention they don't have the capacity.
Plus as noted, the game is ...different than F-Zero. People need to remember that, because a lot will be disappointed next week if they approach this like that.
Yeah this game will not play like F-Zero (from what can be seen and heard from videos and previews). Got to get this for the SPEED (Mute City 200cc in MK8 gave me a need for speed, that I hope this will help subdue).
That and to race with GAF. Maybe someone can setup a GAF timetrials ranking in the OT.

Knowing Shin'en, everything short of a Wii Balance Board will work with this game.
And I wouldn't rule out even that, unless it never crossed their minds.
Fantastic, I'm not familiar with the dev, but happy to know I can use the pro

Don't forget: Iridion II, and Nanostray 1 and 2.
I agree that Shin'en's games lack that extra little bit of oomph and personality that could push them from being great to being exceptional, but as they are, Shin'en is an excellent company that makes legitimately great games. Can't wait for Fast Racing Neo, release already damnit.

No Wii Balance Board "surfing"-style controls? WTF? That was the whole reason I wanted the game! Pre-order cancelled.
