Anyone know if December 18th is still the date for this in NA? I'll probably go with this for the Vita as I'm looking for a good easy to pick up and play racer for the handheld and this looks exactly like the type of game I'd rather play im bed as opposed to on my 360 or PS3 anyways.
Surprised at how many people think the Vita version looks good seeing how it is lacking shaders. It definitely could have looked better. Then again, I haven't seen anything too bad in the game so fa-
It looks mixed. There ARE definitely shaders being used, though (the water in the first shots), but not to the degree that we see on consoles. At least it appears to be the complete game. The DS and iOS versions of the original were all massively pared down in comparison.
Yes it does, and no you don't wanna use i, unless you like that sort of stuff (I know I don't). Tried it one game urgh had a hard time keeping the car going straight :/.

It was made briefly available in EU PSN (and some retail stores over there). It should be available again, in EU on Friday - so, the US date (seeing it avail elsewhere by then) should be feasible.
The road texture in the earlier screens look fine in-game btw. Other tracks have great textures. Some better than others. Occasional slow-down, doesn't affect gameplay/enjoyment much at all. Samba level has a bit of an annoying one when you take this certain corner just before the water section as someone else also mentioned earlier.
