This looks great, it should be getting more press.

'cause there's still no release date besides "March".
I skipped Fast racing neo so I'd like to pick this one.

 

[Kanhir]

I'm a massive Fast Racing Neo fan, so I ran for this at the Switch event while everyone was stampeding towards Zelda.

Just as fun as Neo, but much less jaggies and feels very smooth. Looking forward to playing it on the go.

 

[HandsomeCharles]

I'm assuming they didn't meet launch day otherwise I'm sure there would be more talk about it.

FAST is a great game, I'll be picking it up whenever they release it!

 

[Terrorblot]

I can't wait. Does anyone know if it's getting a retail release? I asked them on twitter but never got a response :X

 

[KingSnake]

There's not much to talk about until it's released. As somebody who played already FRN, the game is a known quantity (and quality), so just waiting for the release date and to play it.

 

[Lom1lo]

This will be digital only ?

Im a bit sad that it hasnt any weapons :/

 

[kitchenmotors]

Also played this at the Switch event and it looked amazing in 2 player mode.

 

[mp1990]

i'm glad i skipped it on wii u so i can get the better version. also we're getting redout this year too so it's cool to have two f-zero likes just at "release", hopefully that will motivate nintendo

 

[gingerbeardman]

I played the Wii version, looked great but played badly.

Heard the same thing about the Wii U version, so I skipped that.

I'm skipping this, too.

 

[ramparter]

For some reason I never bought it on Wii U so that makes things easier now.

I thought that was F-Zero.

 

[Zero83]

Yeah it is a great game and I know it has new content and visual improvements, but it's hard getting too excited about a game I've already played.

The Wii U version had quite a lot of hype

 

[AllEchse]

I only played the original Fast Racing League on Wii from the Shop Channel.
It already had the same gimmick only that you shifted colors from black to white.
It was a decent game, but the sequels seem to only get better.

 

[mocoworm]

There's not much to talk about until it's released.

I'm not sure that's how it works, or we wouldn't discuss 80% of the things we do on GAF ...

 

[AGoodODST]

Neo is literally one of the hardest games I have ever played. Definitely going to double dip though as it's super fun.

 

[Diprosalic]

I didn't care much for the WiiU version but playing this on the go has my interest.

 

[UncleSporky]

The mode where you need to change your racer to the correct colours to hit the gates, like guitar hero at 300mph sounds ace.

That's not a mode, that's just how you play it! Ever since the original Fast on Wii. I think the colors were black and white there.

While for the most part it becomes a matter of memorization and you generally want to hit all of them correctly, there are times when it might be better not to hit a specific color, like if you don't want to take a jump in order to pick up more orbs for boost power.

The sense of speed is crazy. It's a really difficult game.

 

[BitStyle]

'cause there's still no release date besides "March".

Pretty much. I'd mention it more if I knew when I would be getting it.

 

[EDarkness]

I hope they adjusted the difficulty curve. I didn't get far in the Wii U version.

 

[KingSnake]

I'm not sure that's how it works, or we wouldn't discuss 80% of the things we do on GAF ...

It works in this specific case, because it's an up-port of an existing game with added content.

 

[Airbar]

I'm eager to get this game for Switch. Still hoping for a physical release. Can someone who played it tell us something about the HD rumble integration? Sounds neat from what I've read.

 

[Zarovitch]

I played the Wii version, looked great but played badly.

I'm skipping this, too.

Wrong it has good control.

 

[Yoshi]

I have just bought Fast Racing Neo physical on Wii U last year after I had already reviewed the base game before (so had it as a download), I don't really feel like buying the full game again for some more tracks. If it was a full on new game, I would definitely be talking about it a lot though, because Fast Racing Neo was great.

 

[tenderbrew]

I had wanted to try out Facing Racing NEO for a long time and am now waiting for this.

If it was launch I'd be getting it - no question.

Hopefully it's soon afterwards.

 

[MaverickHunterAsh]

I did the GameXplain review of Fast Racing NEO and I can't wait for Fast RMX. I hope we get a review code.

 

[Fess]

Honestly, I think the WiiU version was amazing but after you'd played for awhile it simply became too fast for it's (and my) own good, felt like pure luck if you didn't crash and the (constant) crash animation became annoying in the end. I think they should've kept it like old school F-Zero or Wipeout so that you just bumped into the track and lost some speed instead.
I'll still buy it though.

 

[tenderbrew]

Didn't even know there was a Wii version. You learn something new every day.

 

[Apparition]

I'm looking forward to this one.

Here is DF analysis of its predecessor.

It's amazing that game was so small, you can fit it on a CD!

 

[marc^o^]

I feel like it's too fast. I saw they added a Hero mode, and I wonder if they shouldn't add a Newbie mode as well.

I'll get it regardless, because it has HD Rumble and I want to try all games that will use it

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

The reason nobody is talking about it is because it's more or less a re-release of the game you can play right now.

 

[ElFly]

I disliked the color switching mechanic in Fast Racing Neo, tho it is not game breaking but it feels like an unnecessary complexity

other than that it was a great game

 

[User123456]

I'm skipping this, too.

It's not even remotely comparable handling-wise. Trust me, FAST Racing League played like a quick and cheap low budget indie but FAST NEO is comparable to the better games in the genre.

 

[Lucifon]

So do we know if they've hit the launch day release target?

 

[Lgndryhr]

I am excited for Redout, but interested in Fast RMX. Wish we knew release dates for them.

 

[marc^o^]

The reason nobody is talking about it is because it's more or less a re-release of the game you can play right now.

Far from a re-release, read this: https://www.gamereactor.eu/articles/502073/Shinen+opens+up+on+Fast+RMX+and+Nintendo+Switch/

The Wii U version was a beta version in comparison.

 

[Airbar]

Anyone know how I can embed tweets on GAF? Shin'en said game will definetely coat less than the AC adapter and will release "Soon"

Man, I hope this is Day1. I need it asap.

 

[Vanillalite]

Just give us a release date already. February is almost over so if you are gonna release in March let us know.

No reason for secrecy especially on a remixed version of a Wii U game.

Great. I was hesitating because I didn't played that much 1st one (some parts were really hard too.... or I'm bad) but with all this additions and the price that they seem to target I'll buy it almost for sure.

 

[preheatedbibby]

I usually see just a screenshot of the tweet. And I'd hope it would be less that the AC adapter, its overpriced at $30. The first game was ~$7 right?

 

[Kikorin]

Probably dayone for me, if I've already finished Zelda.

 

[cubicle47b]

The track designs have all been incredibly bland so far.

 

[Jonneh3003]

It has more talk than FAST Racing Neo at least.

 

[GiantBreadbug]

Bought the Wii U version and I'll be buying this when it's out. It's really fun, and I think more content is just what it needed.

 

[Nosgotham]

I played the Wii version, looked great but played badly.

I'm skipping this, too.

wiiu version doesn't play badly at all. its great

 

[marc^o^]

wiiu version doesn't play badly at all. its great

Devs say they spent a year refining controls so it should play even better now.

 

[MetalliCabombination]

im not even sure what it is, is it an hd remaster of a remaster of a remaster or something?
im confused , i thought this game was released several times over the past decade.

It has double the amount of content among other things (see the link I posted), so it's more than a remaster.

 

[LordKano]

Uh, there's a Wii game called Fast racing league, then there was a sequel on Wii U called Fast Racing Neo, and this one is a remaster of the sequel with more content, called Fast RMX.
