It scored 81 on metacritic and was praised on GAF too. But it was way too difficult, relied too much on memorization. Devs say they corrected this on RMX.

I'll wait for reviews before I make up my mind on this one. The track design still looks uninspired to me even after watching videos of Fast Racing Neo. The price and release date are great, though. I hope it's highly successful.

Nah, just guessing. Don't be surprised if I'm right though.

This game doesn't have the little side attack that F-Zero GX has, does it?
From the videos that seems like the only thing missing from this game to fully satisfy the lack of F-Zero in my life.

This looks F-Zero enough for me. At $20 this is really tempting even though I already plan on buying another racing game.

Was not planning on buying it but fir that price it sure is tempting...
Sure it relied a lot on memorization, but I didn't find this game too hard. I won most cups after a few tries. There was a bit of swearing involved, but it felt very rewarding when you placed 1st. I definitely thought F Zero GX was harder (though I haven't played that one in 15 years 😢

Isn't there another Wipeout-esque game at or near launch? Is one considered better than the other?
For me 20 is a lot for a title partially made of content i already own on Wii U, but i'll get it regardless down the road. Game is awesome.
Redout. Not sure which one is better as i haven't played Redout yet, but Fast is great for sure.

Redout and FAST is the better game in my opinion.
I don't think they've said anything specific but there's quite a bit of rubberbanding in the Wii U version so hopefully they've toned that down.

Down?

Buying this.

Sold. I'd totally pay $30, maybe even $40, for a physical release, though.
The price dropped pretty fast and saw discounts/deals on the WiiU eshop frequently IIRC.

I don't think RMX is going to compete with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe though, they're two very different racers and RMX is already in a different price range.

I'm mostly interested in a physical version of this (I'd rather go physical with the Switch) but I'll pick it up either way. I like futuristic racers.
I remember waiting quite some time for a Discount on FRN

Yeah I don't recall the game being discounted any more than other eshop games, is it not still listed at its original retail price?
In the Americas, we have to deal with the incompetent subdivision known as Nintendo of America(NoA). They don't give fuck. You couldn't even give them money to NoA for them to give a fuck. Their employees, at the top, I suspect, is there just to collect an easy pay check. I don't understand even why Reggie is even liked by people on this forum.

That is a steal for what is being offered. I bought this on the Wii U and lol at people asking for a free upgrade to the Switch version. The developers put all this extra effort in. I'll be getting this day 1.

I never bought the DLC for Wii U, so this should be a decent upgrade.
Smart move by Shin'en to have it available at launch. Should give them good salesnumbers.

Actually the game was recieved very well and plenty of gamers here wanted it ported over to ps4.

If they improved the difficulty, I'm in. I loved the gameplay but it was way too hard (Or, I suck. That's probably the reason).

This is now on my day 1 list.
I have $145 in eshop credit that I've hoarded over the last few months (gift cards, little eshop sales, etc.)
I'm getting Zelda physical so I'll have this to spend on the Eshop. So far my definites are:
1-2 Switch ($50)
Snipperclips ($20)
Fast RMX ($20)
I'll be left with about $50, perhaps I'll do Bomberman or maybe Just Dance (don't judge, I like playing this with the family).
I don't want to do I am Setsuna or Shovel Knight because I now I won't play those until I'm completely done with Zelda.

If that's really the price, this would force me create an US account to buy it there. I won't have to pay taxes too.

wow. this is basically Fzero.
I totally forgot the embarrassing amount of port begging.
Yeah, no more ripping us off on the exchange rate when we can easily take advantage of the system being region free.
