- Switch is much more than a portable Wii U with a dock - Fast RMX is an enhanced port of Fast Racing Neo. Resolution, visual effects - everything - sees a big, big upgrade.

Less than 1gb file size?!?!?
WHAT. SORCERY. IS. THIS?
Nintendo should just tap Shin'en for F-Zero at this point, or buy them outright.
David Dowler The game is just 800 mb large on the wii u. I have no idea how they managed to do this...
Simon iirc it was 300MB on Wii U (at launch at least)
I remember what he was discussing as to why the game was so small on the Wii U, and it's basically the same reason as why the Switch version is so small. Basically, most assets like textures are made through algorithms and help keep file size down greatly.
Fast RMX is less than 1 GB?!?!? My music collection is more than 16x that amount!
You trying to pull some funny business here? The Boss don't take kindly to any sort a funny business 'round these parts.
That's the magic of Shin'en they really deserve more recognition
Interesting, they drop the resolution to maintain framerate performance rather than dropping the framerate to maintain resolution like most games do. This should become a new standard.
It's more difficult than it seems! When you run out of time when rendering a full resolution frame, you just advance the simulation engine by another frame without rendering it, so framerate drop is nearly automatic. But when you want to drop resolution, you either are introducing extra full image buffering latency, or you need to drop it predictively. Plus on some hardware, resolution switching itself takes a significant time, or you introduce an extra scaling operation which can take up time of its own.
Plus it depends on where the source of slowdown is. If it's in the rendering, you can do that. If it's in CPU tasks like creation of object buffers, the only way to avoid the frame drop is to stop generating the data, which will lead to visual inconsistencies.
StarStabbedMoon _ it is...
This person called it.
@@nameless-user they didn't, dynamic resolution has been a thing for a long time on consoles, even before this video
This is a thing games have been doing for a long time
Every comment section in Switch videos:
"My phone can run a game like this better"
"Prove it"
"It does, I don't have to"
**proceeds to play temple run on a 700$ phone**
Temple run is like an N64 game compared to zelda
Graviteh not n64
more like ps1
Graviteh even superman on n64 is better than temple run
Adam K you act like temple run is the only game you can play
Dont forget they will also said that it was free!!! hahaha
This is how a Switch game is done. It makes use of ALL of the Switch's mechanics while keeping a steady 1080p/60fps AND it's a very small sized game. Developers pay attention.
Please Nintendo, buy this talented dev outright and give them the F-Zero franchise to play with, before they get snapped up by someone else!
To my knowledge, the company is not for sale because it works part-time, the people have day jobs besides developing games, that they don't want to abandon because job security in game development isn't all that hot, not even when owned by someone like Nintendo. And it's just a handful of people who have been friends for 25 years now, so it's not like they could just restructure. But throwing some perks their way wouldn't go amiss - they must be recognized as one of Nintendo's strongest third parties and great contributors to success of their newer systems.
okcomputer this h
game is great in it's own right, why you gotta jam an old franchise into it?
*Siana Gearz* The don't have to be bought by Nintendo to make a 1st party game. The could easily be bumped up to 2nd party status and work on an F-Zero game while still remaining independent and flexible.
You know what, I doubt new F-Zero should be made at all. Every time there is a partnership between Nintendo and a third party to produce a main franchise entry, communication friction occurs and the result is horrible. Examples: Metroid Other M by Ninja-Tecmo and Star Fox by Platinum. Both studios which are well renowned for polished and very playable titles in their own right. But Nintendo demands something and then it gets done that way whether it makes sense or doesn't and the result is broken controls for example.
Siana Gearz That was also the case with Sonic Boom rise of lyric. Now please here me out its because of Sega and Nintendo the game turned out the way it did. There wouldnt have been glitches, more content, better story etc. Dont believe me look at the first trailers then compare them to the game. The wii U engine couldn't handle sonic boom rise of lyric causing a lot of content to be cut out. Big red button didnt want to release it but was on a contract abd thus rise of lyric was born the way it is now.
4 years later, still the most impressive racing game on Switch
Interesting. I underestimated it at first, but it's truly something SPECIAL.
GRID ties with it, in my opinion. But both are phenomenal!
@@ianmitchell5979 GRID is awesome, but not 800MB awesome. I'm still wondering how tf they can package the game into less than 1GB of data.
wizards... those guys are WIZARDS! I'm telling you.... man this game is gorgeous
Yeah man, how the hell did they managed to squeeze this game into 900mb is beyond me.
Many advanced programming techniques + magic
And also some of the geometry
John James Rambo
Stole my comment before i could write it 😅
ridge racer psp was my fav game.
i had my psp 1 week before launch and im glad i had my switch before launch too :)
1:23 I forgot how good Fast Racing League on WiiWare was.
Mario1080p
The original game was an impressive technical feat when it released. Mainly from what they were able to cram into Wiiware's meager 40mb limit. It looked and performed better than alot of physical games on disc 🤓
"Pfft if you want a REAL MAN'S portable racer, Just whip out your PS4 PRO, TV, and Honda generator like I do."
-Every big man in the comments.
Or they could, now eight months later, use their (failed) PS Vita and remote play to get their GT Sport on. (don't hate Sony fans, I have a PS4 and a Vita and I love them both).
Psssst.....sony fan here
This game was, and still IS, solid gold proof that the Switch is a lot more powerful than people are willing to admit.
And THIS was a LAUNCH TITLE from a small indie team in Germany!
If Shin'en could push the Switch's hardware this far in 2017, then why do other developers and publishers with presumably bigger budgets half-ass their ports so much?
Five years later, and this game still holds up really damn well!
I hope we get a sequel on Nintendo's next console that shows off the full power for that respective hardware, just like Fast RMX did for the Switch!
Mainly because many of those games were made for those other hardware/consoles in mind, to the transition isn't that simple.
It's why the draw distance and framerate for LA Noire is worse on Switch than PS3, since it was originally programmed and designed with consoles like that in mind.
Whereas Fast Racing has been Nintendo dedicated for generations.
This deserves a buy for the good work they put in alone.
The comments about the PS3 and Xbox 360 running these games are fucking hilarious. Less than 1GB of ram and graphics over twice as weak as the Wii U and people seriously think these games can run on those systems. The fanboy runs deep in those veins.
They could probably do it or get close. Wii U was only 176 GFlops.
Terra Noirfang fanboy runs deep in you
+Terra Noirfang Are you all parroting each other?? A game like this does not require much vram or horsepower, which is why Wipeout HD ran at 1080p 60 fps close after ps3 launch, even though it did not even utilize cell chipset properly. And that game looks just as impressive as this one if not more so when it came to the visuals.
bloxyman22 Not portable.
+Alexander Chilton It is not sold as a portable. It is sold mainly as a home console replacement with portbale coming second and that is straight fromt he mouth of Nintendo.
And too bad most people do not care anyways.. If they wanted a handheld they would just buy one instead of one that leads to sacrifices in both areas. Nintendo could have just released a more powerful sequel to the 3ds that could do just that and maybe it would even be portable enough to fit in a pocket, like a real handheld gaming system.
Ps4: I have amazing graphics
Switch: Hold my beer.
Dumbass. The graphics are good, for a SWITCH title. Not for ps4 standards..
Oof the graphical difference between Wipeout Omega Collection and Fast RMX is huge 😅
But Fast RMX is still a beautiful game.
LOVE your enthusiasm John! Keep it up man, always a pleasure watching your vids 🤘🏻
Zelda makes people think that the Switch barely has more power than the Wii U
Isaax well they kept the graphics on that the same because they dont want Wii U owners to feel cheated, its not close to even using the Switch to its full potential
PikaPlayzHD it also seems to be really unoptimised... the engine was most likely tailored to the Wii U and doesn't run well on Switch cuz they didn't have time to port it more optimally
Isaax Looking at your username and your profile picture i know that your a isaac afterbirth fan. For the Switch there will be a physical release of that game. It will come with a manual that talks about the game and stuff and It will come with the FULL game with all the DLC's.
That is pretty stupid though, they should have had Zelda take advantage of the Switch hardware.
Kevboard Arts hoping once this gpu bug is fixed then it'll hold a solid 30fps in most cases
Shinen are the only ones (besides Nintendo development groups) that are able to deliver a heavy game on a Nintendo hardware, others are just lazy to optimize software. Shinen is the real deal I guess.
*And Platinum.
Tariq Yasiin Factor 5 is coming back and have plans for the switch so you can add them too.
Sega is very good too optimize games too look at Sonic Color on the Wii
@@aritonsalihu9841 Sonic Forces looks worse than Lost World on Wii U though.
@@netako It is a port of a PS4 / One game. If Forces was made for Switch from the ground up, it would have smoked Lost World which was a game build for Wii U.
How the hell is this game smaller than other games' updates?
Shinen... now these guys know how to optimize! Probably one of the most talented developers out there.
Yeah, these guys were part of the amiga demo scene. Every game dev that started there ends up making some awesome stuff.
i like to think they are wizards
Between this and the early reports on MK8 Deluxe, I think we can safely say that Breath of the Wild, great game though it is, was kind of a half-assed port, and that the Switch's full potential has yet to be revealed.
MrCaerbannog it wasnt half assed, it runs MUCH better than the Wii U version
Seeing as BoTW was designed for Wii U, it was a quick conversion and certainly nothing to show the potential
>Comparing an open world game with heavy physics use to linear racers with simplistic graphics.
No, the Switch port wasn't a half assed port, Nintendo hardware is half assed and incapable of running AAA open world games with high framerates.
why are you comparing a racing game with an open world game? These two are obviously different
decayedmatter Maybe. But I think that the Switch's power hasn't been fully revealed yet.
Nintendo should have let these guys revive the F-Zero series. Its not like they haven't proven themselves multiple times.
not gonna lie, this game looks dope, im quite interested in playing this title stoned
Yeah I wonder if its 60 bucks
@@mariodelrio2387 I think it is only 20 CAD
This is actuallly a very impressive showcase of the difference between switch and wii u
The game feels the same to play on both consoles.. I couldnt really appreciate much difference between the versions.
*1080P 60FPS ON A HANDHELD*
*and trolls lose their collective shit LOL*
I love your analysis John, and I like how you're improving your editing!
a console that starts with a quality futuristic racer is usually a sound console i can trust.
So Switch can do beautiful graphics at 1080p 60fps, what is people complaining about then?
Good Night Moon Because it's Nintendo, and they don't stop comparing it with Wipeout games saying that they are better because they are older.
A linear racer with simplistic graphics maybe. Any other AAA title will struggle.
exactly
+Good Night Moon Take a look at WipeoutHD/Fury on the ps3 running at 1080p 60fps.. These kinds of games generally is not very taxing on the hardware.
On top of that when Wipeout HD came out, they had not even figured out to how to properly utilize the cell chipset yet.
lol I recognize the stupid hater comparing wipeout to fast racing. wipeout is light years behind fast racing in every aspect.
oh I was waiting for your analysis on this one! The Wii U version was quite interesting because of all the tricks they had to used to get it running on Wii U and still look as good as it did. The developers have stated that they didn't need all those tricks on Switch so it should look much better all around!
I don't understand how this game isn't getting the credit it deserves. i've been eyeballing it since it was announced, and it seems to be the most visually impressive game on the switch
The game was awesome back when it was on the Wii U.
But this...it's impressive
I'm loving the Switch! I just bought Fast RMX so I'm excited to play!!!
I was gonna pick this up day one but I was waiting for the performance details. Can't wait to start playing this, I was a big fan of FAST Racing Neo!
great analysis as always! thanks !
I love how there is an exclaimation mark in the title. Ya'll are loving the switch.
People, people, people... Why so much hate on weather Nintendo or Sony PS or Microsoxt Xboxes are better or worse. Honesty, graphics isn't all in a game. I mean... yeah! It adds up to the gaming experience. But honestly... where ist your real ability as a player, wanting ot experience different games weather the graphics are great or not. Just try and find out. Graphics isn't all. This game looks fantastic though I prefer Wipeout for now. But I would love to try out that game.
Stephane Gregory Dan Because there are many people that want the Switch to be the perfect game system for both home and on-the-go.
But Nintendo doesn't really have an excuse though releasing a system with only 4gb ram memory! Ps4 and Xbox one when they were released they had 8gb ram memory. You get also 500gb or 1TB HDD along with it.. Nintendo gives only 32GB... You don't get much value for a system like this. This Switch shouldn't be even around 400 euro but 300 euro at launch. It's a turn off with weaker system than the previous consoles.. Nintendo is entering with their new system and should be a tad stronger than the PS4. That's what I dislike about the Switch. It's overpriced for the system you get
I can't argue the ram but honestly the drive space is fine. Games are never install on the hard drive and SD cards are really cheap. Load times are also extremely short, something that ps4 and xbone cannot achieve. Seems worth the price if more games come out.
yeah! looking PS4 load a single mission in 2 Min make I cry! * My English is so bad*
Why is it the worst? What is the exact problem in today's video games?
I see John is going overdrive with video editing skills :) In a very good way too
Great video DF, continue gods work for us
They should make the developers of fast RMX create a new F-Zero game.
the hd rumble is really cool in this game!!
Wow - great review & takes me back to playing WipeOut 2097 on the PSONE in nightclubs in early 2000s while totally off my face & trying to control a fast race ship.
Getting this for sure! This sort of optimization work needs to be rewarded.
This game looks so incredible, I really really hope this gets a PC port but that gets less and less likely as time goes on. I don’t really have a proper set up with a modern TV, my gaming set up is mostly for retro stuff, so I haven’t brought a switch yet, but this is definitely one of the games that makes me want one really bad.
This game is amazing! What a great optimization.
Great job, John!
Zvil Raceway in the background! Love it!
So the comments are as toxic as ever. Figures.
shinen is working on a new game. i want to see what other type of games they can make. they are skilled at what they do on nintendo hardwares.
Excellent video guys!
good lord that city level, at speed, looks incredible! my jaw is on the floor
I don't understand why not all games use a dynamic resolution at this point. Especially in an era of PS4 and PS4 Pro, Switch docked and undocked, and soon X1 and Scorpio. Would just makes it easier for devs to adapt their games to different power levels. I would love to see the feature implemented in more PC games too.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the true power of HANDHELD GAMING
typo mate
Muhammad saws war pädophil na und? It was a simple typo dude. Chill the fuck out... Also, what you wrote wasn't the typo either
Rabbidscool - Gaming Experience That's why I can't wait till emulation software drops. Right now I'm using a GPD XD for my portable emulation, which is pretty damn powerful (runs DC, n64 and PSX at full speed w/ over lock).
Pfffttt, that's like fifth generations games, we're talking about ninth-generation.
Yeah but can it Crysis?
Great video again. Thanks!
This looks stunning, well done,
Bought this game for Christmas 2019, I regret waiting so much (have a switch since 2017)
I have just bought it too. Bought The Touryst recently from this developer and I love it.
Tomas Vrabel didn’t play the tourist, but the digital foundry review on that was the last push for me to get fast rmx
@@leomariano2735 lmao u shouldnt regret waiting so long bc u know the game was released in 2017 got a price cut evey year
lol_ivan Yeah, I’m cool with my decision now 😉.
Awesome game thought
After seeing Xenon Racer gameplay on Switch i had to come back here to remind myself what an arcady Switch racer is supposed to look like
Same
Thanks. Amazing channel, amazing game
Need more of these racing games..
when a game is made for a certain console instead of just ported to it, it works!
Swtich is the best handheld ever made. I couldn't believe how much better Breath of the Wild looks and runs in handheld mode over docked. And just in general, it's insane the level of graphics for a portable device. I think Nintendo made a huge mistake, marketing this as a home console, that can also be portable. It should have been a portable first, that can also dock and be played on your TV with better resolution and clock speeds. That sounds much more appealing. Then they should have released a stronger a home console version that isn't portable, but that also has all the same games on Switch (so they unify their dev studios,and only makes games for a single platform). Then that would appease all the people complaining about the home console not matching PS4 Pro etc.
Also the battery life is actually impressive. Even playing a graphically intensive game like BOTW, it lasts 3 hours. That's better then the Vita, which ran much smaller scale (and less demanding) games. It even beats out iPad tablets for gaming. While I know the size might be too big for some people, it's smaller then the iPad Mini by a fair amount. It's lighter then any other portable. Also being able to snap off the JoyCons, makes the screen fit in a pocket, and easily fit into bags.
Battery life still is an issue. But it's an issue in general. We really need to have batteries evolve, because they are horrible for phones and tablets as well. But the fact that Switch is better then most portable devices, and is pushing the kind of graphics that it does? Insane. And all the "handheld" smaller scale games that will be on Switch (so all the 3DS devs that will then make portable games for Switch), easily push 5-6 hours of battery. So only the home console/major AAA titles, are 3-4 hours.
It's so impressive.
Quality informative video!
this sold me on the game!
DF RETRO F-ZERO GX PLEASE
Agamaz YES PLEASE
Bucketninja glad I'm not the only one!
Hope they do it soon
yess
STILL WAITING AA
Just remember this game is 20$ and is less then 1gig this is truly amazing!
Been playing this, I was surprised at how much fun it is, and it does look good and run flawlessly. Interesting to hear about the firmware issue though. Never played it on Wii U, it's great that they decided to release an improved Switch version.
Freaking love the Fast series of games. Played glitchily on CEMU and got hooked. Now getting a switch to play fast RMX.
The Switch AS A HANDHELD is a beast!
As a home console it's either average or under-powered.
Super ahmed its close to Xbox One power which is still impressive in its own right, of course a handheld wont be as powerful as a PS4 thats impossible :)
it is possible , but with an enormous prize tag, but yeah people should stop looking at switch as a homeconsole , but they should look at it as a handheld/hybrid, the guts are behind the screen nonetheless and no other homeconsole has that.
It's 3 times slower than xbox one and two times faster than 360. As handheld it is exactly the speed of 360.
All home console are under-powered, low end PC from 2012, at least Switch use hardware from 2015 if use second generation maxwell gpu.
The Xbox 360 has 48 pixel shaders non unified (DX9), 32bit tri core CPU and 512mb of ram .
The Switch if it utilizes X1 has 256 unified cuda cores (dx12) 4 x 2 64bit CPU cores and 4gb or ram.
The Switch is more like 4 times more powerful then the Xbox 360, don't under sell it.
This is only $20 on the eshop, right? Downloading today.
Wow, looks fantastic!
Ohh that music dayum
If this is a shitty kids game, then, please give me more of these kinds of games. It's phenomenal. As a day 1 PS Vita owner I can say that Wipeout2048 performance issues never got better and in terms of polish has nothing on Fast rmx. Wipeout has weapons, that's the only significant difference. The actual racing is better with Frmx. As for docked Zelda, the fps drops is being made out to be more than it actually is. It actually looks great and runs well most of the time.
That's the problem with you and the rest of your pathetic little kids. You young kids got no education or nuts. All you care about movie quality graphics and blood. Stay salty because the PS Vita is dead on arrival while the 3DS stands alone and the Nintendo Switch reigns supreme!
Hi Tony, is your comment for me?
If he answered you, he needs to learn how to read. If not, he needs to learn how to post a comment...
I never found performance issues on Wipeout 2048. It was locked at 30fps. It's a great game.
1080p, beautifull graphics and 60fps, this game proves that Dragon Quest Heroes 2 on the Switch is a lazy Square Enix port and it also proves Nintendo screwed the Breath of the Wild Wii U to Switch port.
This game does remind me a little about Wipeout 2048 on PS Vita, that one has also great performance and grapics for it's time (but I would prefer 60fps with worse grapics, but the 30fps does feel faster than it should).
Also it used dynamic resolution and it was a launch title too.
Thx for the video.
Mizgala28 1080 isn't hard for a racing game.
Mizgala28 Hopefully Ninty will kill the double buffer v-sync crap, that will fix most of the issues with BotW.
You do know how easy it is to make a pretty racing game right? Compared to games with an open field?
Nevermind... I'll let you have your moment.
Mizgala28
Not sure it's rendering at 1080p in portable mode and if it is it's impressive but AA is lacking and 720p is the output resolution.
My phone can't touch the performance metrics of this title but a few games can output at 1080p and I do know of a Mobile game that does 1080p and 4 player split screen it's called _Riptide Renegade._
Sony is releasing a new phone that may supercede the Switch in this department if games like CSR 2 outputs in 1080p 60FPS or if Riptide Renegade - a $3 game without microtransactions or DLC at all - start becoming more common place Sony's new portable could be a phone that plays nice with a console controller. As is Riptide Renegade plays very well with my DS4 controller.
Back in 2012 with Vita a game like Fast RMX would have been much more impressive to me, but in 2017 with portable PCs with dual integrated GTX 1080s and other powerful handhelds smaller than Switch playing The PC version of the 2013 Tomb Raider reboot... It's not as easy to impress.
This game is running at a high clip in 1080p on a inexpensive mass production mobile console and that is rightfully being commended. So don't take my own opinions too personally.
Mizgala28 is a racing game not much going on in terms of pushing hardware get over yourself the switch is weak
and again, shinen shines!
ridge racer psp was my fav game.
i had my psp 1 week before launch and im glad i had my switch before launch too :)
Nintendo Switch = Nice console.
>Can run Fast RMX at 60fps with some minor drops.
>I am Setsuna runs at 30fps
I am loving this game so far
Is that music from the game itself? Dang sounds really great, really gets the racing mood pumping.
Yep, all the music is straight from the game
Please lord, can someone tell me where I can listen to the one used in the video's background ?
so 1080p 60fps on this game? Then I guess this doesn't pro e that I am Setsuna wasn't a lazy port huh? I am enjoying my PC and Switch.
As you should be!
have you guys noticed that it is racing games that usually have the best graphics on systems?
Yeah, they can concentrate system resources on the cars and other important things because the scenery goes by so quickly.
That file size! I'm rewatching this after playing Touryst and Shin'en sure do know how to keep their downloads nice and lean.
the best thing about this game is being able to play splitscreen with friends anywhere i go! the versatility of this platform makes it by far the most entertaining platform for someone who goes out a lot
Well, Wii U was 352 Gigaflops, Switch is 1 Teraflop, close to Xbox One with 1.35 Teraflops. I'm not surprised if the Switch can run next gen games withs minimum settings and a few tweaks. Now it's up for third party devs to make games or not. After all, Nintendo finally has acceptably decent hardware
TheChazzyC only the Xbox one launched several years ago. The switch, while an interesting machine, lags 1 to 2 generations behind. Hence I doubt the third party support is going to be what everyone thinks/hopes it is going to be.
TheChazzyC Wii U was 176 gflops, Switch is 400 gflops.
nah, 1 tera
TheChazzyC www.anandtech.com/show/8811/nvidia-tegra-x1-preview/2 512 gflops fp32
I'm old enough to have been through the "BIT" wars (8BIT, 16BIT, etc...). Everybody thought BIT's where everything. More BIT's meant automatically it was better. Thing is though it wasn't. We see the same thing with TFLOPS now. Everybody is talking about it, hardly anybody knows what it means exactly. Sure, it's an indication of some sorts, but it works in conjunction with numerous other parameters to determine whether the system will be able to handle such and such resolution or such and such framerate. Hence I'd urge everybody to drop the focus on FLOPS and just wait and see.
When a Development team actually knows what they're doing, you get Gems like this. Seriously, all of this visual tech, 60fps, 1080p w/4p split and all in under a 1gb footprint?!
I only want people who work as hard as this team to develop games for the Switch they can keep those lame half assed ports away.
Dec 20, 2023, and it's still one of the best looking Switch games.
Wow df are selling this good can you hear his excitement!!!
This is the only game at the moment I'd like to go and buy the Switch for but I'll wait for Mario Odyssey and maybe improved hardware to come out, and of course GTX 1080 Ti is a priority at the moment. Until then this game is a blast even on the Wii U! Highly recommended.
MadFinnTech - Nvidia fanboy spotted.
He is a Nvidia fanboy because he just want to buy a Gpu from Nvidia? Where the fuck is your logic?
Md Ray saying you are focusing on buying something expensive makes you a fanboy?
Md Ray - Jealous AMD fanboy spotted.
Md Ray don't drink that amd koolaid, +MadFinnTech do wait for vega though for the price war.
To be honest, even if the Switch had the hardware of the PS4's capability, unless the games were probably optimised for the system it self, we'd still get a lot of games that dip under 30fps like what appears on the PS4 anyway. *better buy that PS4.5 if you want the stable frame rates*
But even if it did have that hardware specs. Would that really change peoples minds? I mean most people who buy Nintendo consoles are buying them for the 1st party Nintendo games like Mario and Zelda and such, games the system will be primarily known for. If you're not interested in them to begin with, would improved hardware make that much of a difference? It would improve chances of 3rd party as well admittedly, but you're better off buying 3rd party multi plat games for a system that has 1st party titles you actually want too.
I guess my point is, if you're only buying a system for it's specs and not the games it'll offer, then what's the point? At that point why not just go all in and go PC if specs are the end all be all for you? You'd get a better experience overall if that's what you're after. It's fine if you don't like Nintendo or the Switch. But I find some of these console war arguments to just be rather stupid when comparing to each other.
Should be more focused on the companies making games for these systems and sacrificing frame rate that's consistent for pretty visuals. It'd be ideal to have both but if you're not tailoring it to the console you are making it for, then why are you making it on that console to begin with?
This game reminds me of Speed Racer on the Wii, that was fun only because you fought cars along the way, but you ended up lonely up first
Game is awesome great video, couldn't agree more
Nintendo should...
F-Zero...
..to Shin'en
Ehm... I'm dreaming~ >.
Honestly, a Shin'en X Nintendo project akin to what Nintendo did with Retro Studios sounds very appealing. I'm not sure they really want to do that, but with guidance from Nintendo, I'm positive that Shin'en could make a legitimately amazing F-Zero game that stands next to the best in the series.
wait, you mean the current ver 2.0 of the Switch's firmware have slight bug on GPU resource?? and once they solve it the Switch will be even faster? just wow, at current form i'm still impressed by my Switch's graphic in handheld mode
I brought my switch with me to my community college and I actually played this with a few class mates with the joy cons during class break. That fun experience alone was worth the $20.
The sense of speed in this game is something to behold. REALLY like this game.
might get a switch, in 2019. That's when most of problems and games were fixed. That is my rule, never get any console on it's first year.
but we are in 2017, you are disobeying your own rule by pruchasing it on 2019.
Yeah, but it's better wait some time more. Look at the PS3, got a slim version on the third or second year, for example.
well, people are now doing lets plays on the switch and they're fine now.
we only need to give it a few months not years
WackyClock I think by Summer 2018 the Switch will REALLY start to take off. Or maybe even by early Spring 2018.
look at switch... amazing games all year 1. 2 are up for goty awards.
so switch is stronger than wiiU ;-o
about 25% stronger more or less by the look of the specs. Still awesome for something so small and portable.
no shit?
+FirPtl nah m8, way more. about 40-50% undocked!
95 percent of the power of the xbox one s
pinkrudy obviously. .......
Great looking game, might pick this one up.
I must admit it looks bloody good.
Please compare this game to WipeOut 2048 on Vita, I just want to see, how far we've come in 5 years
Not happening, Mr. Double Standards!
All u need to know is that it looks and runs way better
I'm just amazed that a tablet is more powerful than the WiiU.
Don't forget Quantum Redshift on the Xbox! Glad to see coverage of this game, Fast Racing Neo was a treat on Wii U.
Just watching the game gets my heart racing with joy o-o;; and that's a good thing
JOY- con? No? Ok I'll leave
