All videos seem to be in split screen but it looks smooth as butter. The official site claims it's 1080p 60fps, the Wii U verison ran sub 720p (540p I think).

If you haven't played the Wii U verison this is an outstanding F-Zero/Wipeout-esque game that support up to 4 players on a single system and online play.

Chris Ticehurst · Jan 14, 2017

Not surprised by 1080p/60fps - they are wizards when it comes to Nintendo consoles.

Jonneh3003 · Jan 14, 2017

This is on the lowest speed setting by the way, this game can get insane.

Caayn · Jan 14, 2017

If they tone down/remove the rubber-banding I'll buy it for the Switch. It's killing my enjoyment with the WiiU version.

I don't even need to watch the video to know that I'll buy this. I love their games.

Zedark · Jan 14, 2017

Hmm, this game looks kinda fun actually, never heard of it before. Do we know when it is coming to Switch?

Skyzard · Jan 14, 2017

Looks good and split-screen warms my heart. Nice.

Says TBD at the moment, Shin'en had a launch title on the Wii U so it wouldn't shock me to have it on launch day.

They said 2017. The WiiU version os already out and really really good. One of the best things in the eShop.

Inuhanyou · Jan 14, 2017

Wii U was not actually native 720p. It used temporal reprojection to hit 720p, and many of the effects render in sub HD.

We can expect a temporal reprojection effort for this game too i think.

Thanks guys! It would be great if they could have it ready at launch, would probably buy it as the second launch game besides Zelda.

Nice to see Polygon demo a game again.

Regginator · Jan 14, 2017

Didn't know this game before, DAMN this looks and feels a lot like F-Zero (GX, albeit in a lesser form, but apparently you can change the speed here?).

Did it sell well on the Wii U? If there's a market, F-Zero might not be dead...

Battersea Power Station · Jan 14, 2017

I'm surprised by how much it looks like GX. Are the controls as precise as F-Zero's?

Nintendo Life interview with Shin'en

NL: FAST Racing NEO has now been available on the Wii U for a little while, so have you been happy with its reception, the number of players online and so on?

S: We have been very happy with the reception. Sales have been pretty good and we get a lot of feedback that people love the game. We don't have numbers for online players but we felt that FRN did fairly well when compared to other 3rd party games.

NL: With respect to NDAs, confidential data and so on, are you willing to comment on how happy or otherwise you have been with the game's sales?

S: We worked for three years on the game. It was a major investment for us but it worked out perfectly in the end. The game still sells nicely and when we showcase the game on occasions like Gamescom we see there is still a lot of interest out there.

Yep it sold pretty well on Wii U, got a Nintendo Selects release.

Regiruler · Jan 14, 2017

I can't seem to find all of the old vehicles on the select screen. Is it possible some were cut?

Rodin · Jan 14, 2017

I read it's a sequel (new tracks, new cars), not a remaster. Which one is true?

Oh I'm not entirely sure, is this not a track from the Wii U game? The vehicles look different for sure.

Cameron Crest is new.

We've only seen bits from 6 tracks. Until we see 7 new tracks (NEO had 24 total), it's up in the air.

The_Endgamer · Jan 14, 2017

Official Fast RMX Site:
http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/fast-rmx-switch

30 tracks all up.

I read somewhere else there was 15 vehicles though.
+ It's an expansion of the WiiU version apparently.

Yet to play the original so this is near the top of my list. Graphics are great + silky smooth too.

FAST plays nothing like F-Zero. find the OT for NEO.

Do not make the mistake to think this is off-brand F-Zero. It's not. I hope they fixed the horrible rubberband AI.

dark10x · Jan 14, 2017

It looks amazing, yes, but it's not native 1080p60 (at least not the build on the show floor). They might get there, though.

It does use the same temporal reprojection technique from the Wii U version.

Regiruler · Jan 14, 2017

Looking at the footage I can see the names more clearly. I see a names from quite a few of the old vehicles.

EDIT: and new zendling is in the demo as well

It's probably too late to change all that up since they basically ported over the Wii U version instead of making it from scratch. It's still a nice looking game in any case.

It drops frames or is the resolution lower ( or both

)?

Ah, yeah, completely forgot about this infographic:

Really nice, will likely pick it up around launch!

Memory · Jan 14, 2017

Day one for me, certainly supporting these talented and dedicated devs.

Thelonelykoopa · Jan 14, 2017

I bought the Wii U version and it was gorgeous but it's sub HD resolution made it less enjoyable to play when I wasn't playing on the controller so this is a massive improvement.

I could kiss you sometimes. This is amazing! One of my favourite Wii U games.

Colonel Mustard · Jan 14, 2017

Having both this and Redout at launch will be nice. Hopefully Shin'en can do a retail release. I'm a big fan of those little boxes.

They did for Wii U so I don't see why they wouldn't on Switch. Maybe not at launch but at least a Nintendo Selects release.

We never got it in the states.

Kiss Shin'en. I'm just pointing out info.

You're always on top of the info though, Shin'en have been one of my favourite developers since the Wii days and I can't wait to be playing this launch month.

It's super hard keeping all the info straight from the last 35+hours. Barely got to read any interviews yet.^^

Peltz · Mar 2, 2017

I missed this game first time around and my Switch is sitting at home waiting for me to set it up.

I won't get Zelda until tomorrow so I think this is going to be my first game for the system!

Could you tell me your impressions of the HD rumble implementation when you get the chance? Enjoy!
