Support NeoGAF

[Jonneh3003]

Breath of the Wild will certainly dominate the Switch's launch day but in the launch month comes two downloadable gems in the way of Snipperclips, a co-op puzzles game and FAST RMX, somewhat a remaster of FAST Racing Neo but with a bunch of new content.

FAST Racing Neo was one of my favourite Wii U games and I can't tell you how thrilled I am to see another take on it coming to Switch. FAST RMX supports up to 4 players locally and 8 players online and it seems many of the vehicles are entirely new, perhaps for better handling. Shin'en also claim it's running at 1080p 60fps, a far cry from the Wii U's sub 720p but we'll see what's going on under the hood when it launches, the Wii U version had some tricks. 5 people worked on FAST Racing Neo and I imagine the same staff are involved with RMX.

Snipperclips is a $20 puzzle game where you cut your partner to form new shapes and solve puzzles. To my knowledge it can only be played with another player but it'll be a brilliant game to play with the joy-cons. Originally Snipperclips was an indie game called Friendshapes but Nintendo picked it up as a first party IP for the Switch. It is being developed by Nintendo and 2 man studio SFB games.
Edit: apparently Snipperclips allows for 1-4 players

So which exclusive budget Switch game are you more interested in?

 

[TimmiT]

Apples or oranges?

 

[Gaspard]

Snipperclips tbh, it looks really fun. I enjoyed Fast Racing Neo on Wii U but I don't think i'll be double dipping.

 

[Cubas]

I missed Fast Racing NEO on the Wii U, so FAST RMX.

 

[Jonneh3003]

Apples or oranges?

Yep but they're both low budget exclusives coming in the launch month.

 

[FelipeMGM]

Snipperclips, its just looks super jolly

Also because I want to support Nintendo going in making quirky projects with small indie studios like this

 

[daxgame]

I'll get FAST for sure.
Not interested in the other game but it looks cute. My wife would probably want to play it with me, but it's just not my cup of tea.

 

[Platy]

Snipperclips by far.

Love f-zero but Fast Racing Neo just didn't grabbed me.

Also Snipperclips is probably the most charming puzzle game in a long time

 

[cw_sasuke]

Snipperclips since its a completly new title - but ill be getting both titles in addition to Zelda in March.

I'll get FAST for sure.
Not interested in the other game but it looks cute.

Watch the Treehouse Live segment...you will be a believer if you have at least one person you can play it with.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Out of those two, i'd be a million times more interested in Snipperclips.

The FAST series has always looked like a very low-rent Wipeout to me.

 

[Oregano]

I'm just getting both. I guess SnipperClips because it's brand new.

 

[BY2K]

I skipped Fast Racing Neo on Wii U and it looks like I was rewarded for it.

 

[shandy706]

Both sound neat and I'll probably have to get them.


I honestly had no clue what this thread was about until I entered it and read the description. Haha

Edit* add me to the list of those who have not played Fast Racing Neo

 

[Ibuki]

I never picked up Fast Racing NEO on the Wii U, so my excitement for this new version is very high.

As for Snipperclips, it looks super fun and hilarious. I will probably end up grabbing both.

 

[Movalpolos]

Neither of them.

 

[Yautja_Warrior]

Both look pretty good, I'm definitely interested in seeing more of these games.

 

[kunonabi]

Snipperclips since I already have FAST on my Wii U. Snipperclips is just amazing from what I've seen.

 

[Like the hat?]

I'll probably get both, but I'm most excited for snipperclips. It just looks so fun.

 

[8bit]

Snipperclips.

Fast Racing anything will be me bouncing off the fences simulator.

 

[OnPoint]

I'm in for both. They both look super high quality, fill weird niches and provide diversity to the library.

 

[kami_sama]

Snipperclippers, I love what I saw about it on Treehouse.

 

[oatmeal]

They both look good. I have Fast on the Wii U and didn't play it much, so I doubt I'd play this version either. I wish there were an upgrade fee.

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

Fast because I probably won't have that many people to play Snipperclips with. Still getting both though.

 

[gogojira]

I'll get both. Didn't know RMX was at launch.

 

[CompC]

Snipperclips! Looks amazing.

 

[Mariolee]

Wanna get both but if I had to choose one it'd be Snipperclips.

 

[marc^o^]

I'm excited for both, unless Redout releases at the same time, I might then go for it instead of Fast.

 

[Kathian]

Snipperclips is just another great looking local multi game (which seems to be making a return) which I can appreciate but will never be in a position to get much from it.

 

[nampad]

I like my futuristic racers with weapons so Snipperclips.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Snipperclips looks badass.

 

[Type40]

Snipperclips.

I wasn't interested in a bad F-zero clone on WiiU and i'm still not interested in it for Switch.

 

[jonno394]

Was interested in Fast Racing until I read that the single player content is a bit lacking. Redout seems to have a fully fledged career mode, so will likely go for that instead, hopefully Nicalis get it out asap.

 

[Hazu]

Is FAST RMX coming out on launch day?

 

[Jonneh3003]

I'll get both. Didn't know RMX was at launch.

That 2017 grid Nintendo have been sharing on social media lists them both as March

 

[UrbanRats]

Apples or oranges?

Oranges.
I don't like apples much.

 

[SigSig]

For that price, both.

 

[Jonneh3003]

Is FAST RMX coming out on launch day?

Not launch day but launch month. Same deal with Snipperclips.

 

[wrowa]

Weird comparison, but I'm looking forward to playing Snipperclips with my gf. It looks like a ton of fun.

 

[MADGAME]

I'm interested in both. Do we know price for Fast RMX?

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

No footage was shown of RMX so Snip.

 

[Jonneh3003]

Weird comparison, but I'm looking forward to playing Snipperclips with my gf. It looks like a ton of fun.

They launch in the same month, go for the same price (judging by what FAST went for on Wii U) and are both exclusives, comparison isn't that strange.

 

[Zedark]

I'LL be getting FAST RMX, it looks really good.

 

[Oregano]

Eeeek....

Here's some off-screen gameplay provided by another Gaffer in the announcement thread:

[hughesta]

Snipperclips will be the game I use to try to sell people on the Switch

 

[Enduin]

Apples or oranges?

Snipperclips, not that I really have anyone to play with.... Wow that is depressing.

Take into account that's the lowest speed and the person playing isn't very good, NintenDaan had much better gameplay but it's further from the screen.

At the 2:30 mark of the tree house video, they say the game supports 1-4 players. That is just one of the modes they were showing.

[Wil348]

Fast. Never played it on Wii U before and it looks like a really fun F-Zero/Wipeout-like racer.

 

[Inuhanyou]

Fast remix on Wii U was not sub 720p, it used temporal reprojection to hit it. Its probably the same for Switch
