Pretty cool bug!
This game is great. I thought I was going to play it when I needed a break from Zelda. However I'm still waiting for Zelda to drop through my door so I've been playing this for 3hrs.
27% through the Championship mode and it's starting to ramp up in difficulty.
Great first impression of the Switch

Would like to know this as well. It killed my enjoyed from the WiiU version. If they fixed the rubber banding and made the difficulty more forgiving I'd be interested in buying the Switch version.

I think they revamped it, my Switch is literally minutes away according to tracking so I'll give some impressions later today.

That looks badass!

First I'm hearing of it. I know they rebalanced the base difficulty (trash AI) and Hero Mode is unlocked from the start (as opposed to having to fully beat the base mode) but they've said nothing about changes to Hero Mode itself, afaik.
No idea how it works in practice but yes, they addressed the "difficulty" ...according to their interviews.
It's a new Hero Mode according to the official website.
And I did mention the 6 new tracks and the DLC.
This.
Played it a bit to test my new Switch and it looks very nice both on the big screen and as a handheld.
Did they change the controls? Wasn't the colour swap on L? Why is it now on X? It feels way less comfortable on X.
And I need to get a Switch Pro Controllers, playing with the Joycons while needing to use both the shoulders and the triggers is not nice.

" Unlock the HERO MODE to play with new rules and new challenges! "
It's does not say it's new. Because it's not new

No lobbies. Wtf.

Why are you arguing semantics?

Since Zelda didn't arrive today, I downloaded this game and yeah, I am having a blast. I am a sucker for anti-grav racing-games ( Wipeout HD and F-Zero GX are the big ones ), and this is a good one. Will keep me occupied for the next few days easily, and beyond that if I get a good group of friends to play it with online.
It has? I was looking for it, but missed it. Checking again now.

i just tested and you definitely can
You can play up to four person split screen in tabletop mode. That's where dynamic res bugs and stuff come into play though, and just by sheer screen real estate I wouldn't do more than two person.

Downloaded this last night! Can't wait to play later today. How does it play using a single joy-con?

How is the HD rumble?

I'm a huge GX fan, and I loved Neo. Just don't expect to be F-Zero or Wipeout, it really is its own thing.
That said, I'm glad this game is getting more exposure thanks to a fresh start on Switch! Shinen deserves it, they've clearly put a lot of effort into this.

woah thanks guys.
I didn't think that they would implement it, because tabletop multiplayer wasn't mentioned specifically anywhere.

It's kinda relevant when a "new features" is not a "new feature" because it was in the old game already.
The only new thing is that it's unlocked right away.
yup!

Curious about this also.
Ha, now it's much better.
Funny thing why I missed it the first time. I was playing on the projector and because it's very sunny outside the difference in the pink shade between the cursor (selected button) and the normal button wasn't very visible. So I was pushing up but had the impression that nothing is happening.

I didn't list it as a new feature, I was pointing out that the stuff in it is supposedly new.
Regardless I changed it.

I should have a review out sometime either today or tomorrow. For sure by Monday. I'm liking it a fair bit so far though.

Wait, really? Steering is tighter? So a bit more like F Zero?
Alternatively, are there any machines that control closer to F Zero machines? I know a lot of the machines feel really differently, but didn't play the Wii U version enough to experiment that far.
I think you are misunderstanding where the other posters are coming from and what the text on the site means. Hero mode just changes the rules ("new rules", combining energy and boost bar in one, F-Zero style) which causes the gameplay challenges in the game to be different ("new challenges"). Now what's different between NEO and RMX is that where in NEO needed you to play through a significant part of the game (which was hard due to its steep rise in difficulty so many players never go to try that mode) in RMX it's available much earlier.
Better?
Just was a honest attempt to explain what seemed a misunderstanding that went on too long. Hope your mood's better than it seems. Thanks for creating the OP!

Ah cool my friend managed to capture SNES Mode
guessing that they were trying 3 players in portable mode? the scaling probably felt like it needed to drop to keep 60 with the underclock in effect too.

Nobody had access to the eShop before today... don't you want reviewers to spend more than a few hours with a game before reviewing it?

Pardon me. I literally threw this OT together in 15 minutes because it looked like no one else was going to do it.
I spent all my time on the VOEZ OT and no one wants to use it.
Goddamn, that VOEZ OT is a thing of beauty. Thanks for finding the time to make this one too!
It's no F-Zero GX. But it's pretty cool. It is a bit more floaty like Wipeout. I give it a 8/10. The graphics are surprisingly good.
But the collisions look a bit off. The ships don't explode right or spin out properly. Otherwise, it looks really good and really shows off the power of the hardware (especially for a launch game).
Wii U never pushed graphics this good and the sense of speed is pretty great. It definitely feels worth the $20.

I haven't bought it yet, but I played it at a preview event and yes, the AI was much more forgiving.
