Well This game has some big issues that you mentioned in this review, but all in all i can still see some potential in it, maybe with a couple of patches in the months to come they will be able to fix it and bump up the level and the rating of the game which should be around 7 or 8 out of 10. We must not forget that this game is actually the only pure and old style arcade game around, it's still funny despite the issues, it's colored it's very 90's which is a yay in the current generation that is unfortunately full of simulation racing games. This could have been an Hidden Jem, i'm a bit disappointed but i played it on PS4 and it runs smooth and flawless, hopefully they will fix the frame rate and pop up effects on Nintendo Switch.
@@trentoinsano yeah. Thankfully trials isnt nearly as bad as this and is actually fun. But this is an issue ive noticed with devs lately. Not releasing switch footage until near release hoping to get gullible folks. Nintendo needs to step in before it becomes like the wii again.
YES! I love that game! Not gonna lie, the intensity and speed of the races makes Fast RMX very difficult and disorienting when playing it for the first time, but once you get used to the intense speed (and you will, trust me), it's very fun to play. The racing mechanics are not perfect, but are still of very high quality. Even better than some AAA games like The Crew and Need for Speed. The graphics and performance is outstanding, especially for a high-intensity 60FPS launch game on the Switch. It somewhat subsides my cravings for a new F-Zero, but not entirely because it's still obvious in some areas that it's a low-budget indie game, such as the content. Now, I do find the amount of content to be very adequate, especially for the low price, but I do also find myself wishing there was more. Hopefully someone that's reading this will go buy and support Fast RMX instead of Xenon Racer.
Right, at least a delayed game has a chance to be great, but if you release an unfinished game it's, most of the time, hard to wash the first impression away
I don't think the developers are capable of anything better than this, no matter how much time they get. Mario Kart 8 (Wii u) looks 100x better than this and it's 5 years old.
Overall, I thought you were generous with this game. The visuals look awful compared to the exciting footage of the trailer. That pop in unacceptable for a game of the price. Probably one of this year's early disappointments on the Switch for me.
Our system means that will will always give a rounded score. Gameplay is ok at best, sound is reasonable if nothing spectacular and controls do their job. That already means it won’t be getting the 20 or 30% that it might get elsewhere but hopefully it also means that the exact areas where the game fails become apparent. Glen
@@SwitchUpYt oh yeah, I get your scoring technique, it's one of the reasons I love this channel, always fair. I meant as in how you went about the actual review itself. You can imagine a lot of people reviewing this game to focus on nothing but the bait and switch graphics and pan everything else as a result. Maybe generous was the wrong word. Maybe I should have said forgiving. That's what I meant!
It should absolutely 100% be a rule that Switch footage and screenshots are required for the Switch version on the e-shop. It does not help and looks terrible on Nintendo as well when their own TH-cam channels are posting non-Switch footage release trailers. It is completely unacceptable and I honestly wonder if it's class-action lawsuit worthy in the US under the "false advertising" pretense. Thanks for the review, hopefully this saves many people a lot of money.
You saved me money, thank you. I, like many, was captured by the trailer and screenshots. Honestly, when you said the devs gave you a review copy, I was kinda worried. I'm happy to see there was nothing to be worry about tho. Honest review, thanks.
Wait wait wait, hold up. That wasn’t the trailer for this game.. that’s so false advertisement. Thanks SwitchUp team for saving my money.. wow, what a review Glen, 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Kind of amazing how Fast RMX eats this game for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and The was a launch title. That game at least looks, in practice, more like what Xenon showed in their deceptive video. It’s kind of why I *almost* fell for it. Mainly because I knew someone like Shin’en could do this. But I’m glad I waited for reviews on this one. In a way, I wish Shin’en made this, because no way they would let the game release in this state.
So sad to see this didn't live up to its promise. The trailer looked legitimately good. Gotta love that bait 'n switch. Thank you for bringing the truth to light on this one!
I was shocked when the official launch trailer had a message stating that what you were watching was not real gameplay. The guys held it back until the last minute. That's absolutely ridiculous. Now all reviews will tell the truth about it. What benefit will they get from it? Having sold some copies during pre sale to the people they fooled? That's an absurd! And I had never seen you guys give a 5 to a game's value. I know you only "destroy" a game if that's really the case. I totally respect your reviews! Keep up the good work.
I was interested in this big time. Unfortunately, I just won't trust a game is good til I see a review. I have been burned before. Thanks for this review.
Thanks for the heads up! I was actually contemplating giving this game a go! Not any more. You saved me and I’ll share some of that bonus with you guys next week.
I was too exiting for the eshop trailer now the game out like this !! xCi hope thay fix most of it. I like the style use in the game. Thank you for the review
You said in the upcoming videos that if you get a review copy you would review it... Not interested in buying it tho I'm still addicted to Mario Kart 8... Great review as always
Cheers for helping us dodge this bullet, if I wasn’t up to my eyeballs with final fantasy I may have been tempted, I’ll give it a while and see if it gets fixed and an outing in the sales.
I was hoping this one would be great but instead it's rather terrible. The graphics and pop in just absolutely kill it for me. The PS4 version seems to have better lighting and no pop in but it still not as sharp looking as the trailers we've seen. Even if there is a patch we're still left with a physical copy that is technically a mess without it. All this along with that price tag means I'm going to pass on this one. Thank you for the great public service you offered here.
Wow this is completely disappointing. I was so excited for this game as excited as you can be for a switch game. I do take that this is a preview copy and not final code but still there is no way its gonna go from this to its trailer. Haha vita, Naw ps1 with HD textures. Completely different from the trailer which we shouldn't be excited devs have been doing this for atleast 2 or 3 years now. Thanks Glen.
I was hoping you guys would take a look at this one, sod thanks a bunch! I'm disappointed that the game doesn't look as advertised. I was excited about this game but I'm glad I didn't waste my money.
I mentioned to someone after playing a little of the game that I felt whiplash after seeing the opening movie that ran at about 60fps and then experiencing everything else after the title screen at less than half that. Things weren't quite what I was expecting either, though I was expecting something akin to modern Ridge Racer after seeing gameplay trailers before launch. If I want to enjoy this experience, it sounds like I may have to look to a different platform such as the PC.
I'm so sad this game is such a flop. I was really looking forward to this one... oh well... I should've known those visuals weren´t possible on the switch. Great review as always :)
What a Major letdown! I guess I won't be getting this one now. :( This doesn't even look good enough to be an Xbox 360 game.... It's more like an Original Xbox game.
I noticed the game and the screenshots/trailer made it look decent. Despite the price I wasn't overly keen on it anyway. After seeing this, sale or not, I think i will save my time and hold back disappointment for another day. It seems to be a lower quality Trail Blazers but almost twice the price. Haven't played Trail Blazers, is it any good?
I play this game sometimes its okay, had some improvements since this video. Bought it on sale dirt cheap. Still has some pop in issue but there is performance mode and pretty graphics mode. I'd say if you can pick it up on sale for less than £10 its fine tbh some cool kinda stuff with it like customization and all the bits your video missed out on...
Talk about false marketing. I've seen some differences between, say, E3 footage and the final build, but this just takes it to a whole new level! The view isn't even the same!
Thanks for saving our wallets! Any futuristic racing games that are like F-Zero and Wipeout for the Switch ? Closest we've got are Fast RMX, Trailblazer and Grip.
Man the Vita could do better than this. The Vita had Wipeout. That looks way better than this disgrace. This is not ok to sell with those "screenshots" and videos. I'm shocked.
For anyone checking this out since the game is on sale right now. I just got it, a patched has been released which fixes the pop ups and performance, overall the game is now enjoyable, they even added Performance mode which I assume pushes the fps to almost 60 i think, since overall fps is smooth, and Quality mode for better graphics. Its on sale right now for $2 so its not a bad purchase.
Me and two of my friends were contemplating getting this. Either for the Switch or PC. After a small discussion I'm pretty sure you can guess what we picked. Looks like we dodged a bullet. I'm not here to gloat. The crowds look the same on PC but the rest of the game actually looks like the trailer. Mind you we also only payed $35 for the game making it even more worth it we sacrificed some portability but we're actually enjoying it at least.
great review of a lazy cash grab. shame because i was looking at this, but the price is so expensive. From watching this review, if you look at the car and wheels, the wheels dont go round at the speed of the track, and the car looks like its floating and not part of the track. soooo RMX RACING anyone ? that games is brilliant.
This confirms that Eshop trailers can't be trusted and there is no requirement from Nintendo that the video must be done on a Switch. Which means content creators and reviewers are more important than ever.
Great review. Unfortunately i preordered this and is on its way to me. Really disappointed as it looked so good from what i saw on eshop. It seems to be a growing trend! Also games that require patching just after release is frustrating and makes physical release games obsolete pretty much as what you get is incomplete.
As I've said in my comment also - Nintendo need to do some QA so devs can't advertise their game showing content from another platform in order to falsely boost sales. It's false advertising, and fraud - and I can smell a mass lawsuit from gamers who feel they have been scammed.
I love reading all these comments saying they won’t support this game and I hope the devs fucking feel it hard! And any other dev thinking of trying to fuck over us players! Honesty goes a loooong way, when will they learn that?!
SwitchUp ouuuu really!? Lmaoo I’m gonna go check now that’s epic!! 😂 Please continue to call out bull shit like this.. I fear if we don’t then the switch will become a deserted playground of half ass mobile games and false quality products! Ps. I just picked up a game called butcher it’s on sale and not too bad. Check it out if y’all seem interested
I'm just surprised you gave such high scores. graphics 11/20 despite the bait and switch? Even the 13/20 gameplay looks generous, you compare it against ridge racer, but honestly the original ridge racer looks more fun but thanks for the review, you saved me buying it, even if it is on a 95% sale at the moment
It's crazy how deceptive the trailer is as u pointed out. In the trailer you see things like grinding against guard rails as u crash in to them sparks flying. When I see ur gameplay lol it's there but its dim and way less polished as the eshop trailers. Wow man u saved me some money. I will stick to fast rmx for my f zero fix on the switch lol. I would be happy if switch online brought over f zero super Nintendo at this point lol
Yeah...$45, I'm just gonna wait to see Grid for switch. Those eShop images strike again, haha. " I can only review the game in front of me, " That's that #SwitchUp honesty
Last thursday we announced our new game something very different to Xenon Racer but thought you might like to check it out. King of Seas is looking really good on the switch!! th-cam.com/video/obsNMJlMpbA/w-d-xo.html
Bought it for £0.91 in the recent e-shop sale, so I wasn’t expecting much. Not sure if it’s been patched in the time since release. Doesn’t seem like it. If I’d paid full price, with Nintendo’s nonexistent refund policy? Well, let’s just say I’m glad I didn’t.
WOW the contrast!!! Trailers used to me annoy me when they don't show any actual gameplay footage and still usually do. This is the same and if it should say not actual gameplay as a disclaimer. It's basically false advertising.
Did anyone go to pax east? There was an a wipEout/F zero like game there that played and looked significantly better than this called Pacer. Cant wait for it tbh
got a feeling Nintendo are in trouble for false advertising, Nintendo life just uploaded a video about it & my own personal experience with Hollow on switch says they did the same with this
Wooooaaaaahhh... The speed of effect !!!... 😵😵😵😵😵😵😵... 🤮🤮🤮... It’s really... no... It’s really No !!!!!... in fact... 🤣🤣😆😆🤪🤪🤪🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 Thanks for the video SwitchUp. Good job.
Today we announce the third round of FREE additonal content - race round Nevada on 4 new tracks(better to avoid area 51 these days) in a brand new super car - check the trailer (Xbox )out here th-cam.com/video/ZYcEvglZW9o/w-d-xo.html
Nintendo F Zero GX please Why does anyone bother if they can't do a half decent racing game MK8Z has set the bar V high, I don't expect any where near like as in Polish buy please something worth while
I'd be very interested to hear everyone's views about this one. Let me know your thoughts in the comments section. Happy gaming. Glen
Was looking for a new racing game to test my pro controller I got recently but looks like this isn't it. Sticking with Mario kart.
@@speedyg2012 gear club unlimited is a pretty good racing game haven't played the second one yet, or they have Grid coming to the switch
@@psycho6ninja954 Hope Grid 2 comes to switch got that free from humble bundle recently.
Speedy Gonzalez Grip Combat Racing is good
Well This game has some big issues that you mentioned in this review, but all in all i can still see some potential in it, maybe with a couple of patches in the months to come they will be able to fix it and bump up the level and the rating of the game which should be around 7 or 8 out of 10.

Nintendo really needs to make sure that e-shop trailers are switch footage - people could seriously waste £45 on this, it’s a shame
Completely agree. Nintendo need to take a stand on this practice. Glen
They need to implement a refund system if they are not going to fix the problem. Thankfully all the crap games I’ve got where really cheap.
I’ve seen so many trailers on the eshop that wasn’t the switch footage. Trials rising is one of those games
@@trentoinsano yeah. Thankfully trials isnt nearly as bad as this and is actually fun. But this is an issue ive noticed with devs lately. Not releasing switch footage until near release hoping to get gullible folks. Nintendo needs to step in before it becomes like the wii again.
@@jackfiend2710 If you bought crap games that's your fault I wait for reviews for switch games.
Anybody looking for a game on the switch like F-Zero needs to get Fast RMX which is only £17
And is a fantastic game. The sense of speed in RMX is awesome.
I love Fast RMX and it does have F-Zero vibes.
YES! I love that game! Not gonna lie, the intensity and speed of the races makes Fast RMX very difficult and disorienting when playing it for the first time, but once you get used to the intense speed (and you will, trust me), it's very fun to play.

Hopefully someone that's reading this will go buy and support Fast RMX instead of Xenon Racer.
I try to love Fast RMX and to a degree I do, but jeez the rubberbanding is so godawful.
FAST RMX is still one of the best looking games on the Switch. And that it runs at 60fps is even more impressive.
Y'all just saved me $50. This is ridiculous. They should have just delayed the game.
Completely agree. Glen
Right, at least a delayed game has a chance to be great, but if you release an unfinished game it's, most of the time, hard to wash the first impression away
I think they did this intentionally. No way this could be accidental
PussPuss yea this seems intentionally misleading
I don't think the developers are capable of anything better than this, no matter how much time they get. Mario Kart 8 (Wii u) looks 100x better than this and it's 5 years old.
Well that was quite a shocking contrast to be honest... I would love to see racers such as Midnight Club 2 or the Burnout series on the Switch!
That would be great. Glen
As someone who was going yo get this game and souly plays my switch in Handheld mode I would like to give you guys a massive thank you!
well , I feel deceived and i didnt even bought this game
Yeah, it’s pretty bad to be honest. Glen
@@SwitchUpYt yeah nothing like the trailer.
"A picture is worth 1000 words" followed by the contrasting gameplay was savage man, I love it.

@@SwitchUpYt it's a really good thing, balanced and fair reviews are tough to find oh TH-cam!

Oh it is. $50 is too much.
SUPER glad I saw this review. THANK YOU! Just saved me some money. Gonna go take this off my wishlist...
This is normal volume. Thank you for not making me turn my speakers up. The top channel you can barely hear it though both say good things.

No worries mate. Glen

Glad I watched this review first; never seen so much pop in in my life.
Yeah some serious pop in for sure. Glen
Micah Vincent i have, on hot wheels 64..
This makes FAST RMX a marvel. :) I'll go for xr @ pc at most

You’re very welcome. Thanks for watching. Glen
Considering how packed April is for Switch new releases is it odd to be relieved that I can safely skip this one for now? lol
Haha, sounds perfectly reasonable. Glen
Oh dear! Genuine "laugh out loud" when the real gameplay footage kicked in.
Haha, crazy isn’t it! Glen
Just... just... Horizon Chase Turbo please !! And why does it sound like a constant vacuum cleaner is running in the game ??
That’s exactly what it sounds like! Glen
At least the wife thinks you are doing something in the house, and cleaning might be more fun.
I wasn't going to get this anyways. I just wanted to hear Glen's voice.
Not that I don't like Mark's. I don't play favorites.
If I could, I would edit the soundtrack of this game with F-Zero GX's soundtrack. I think that would be so sick.
Thank you so much for the review. It's obviously not worth getting.
I was hoping you guys would take a look at this one, sod thanks a bunch! I'm disappointed that the game doesn't look as advertised. I was excited about this game but I'm glad I didn't waste my money.

This doesn't even look good enough to be an Xbox 360 game....
It's more like an Original Xbox game.
Is this the Virtua Racer port?
Haha, yeah I know what you mean. Glen
Virtua racer is better.
I noticed the game and the screenshots/trailer made it look decent. Despite the price I wasn't overly keen on it anyway. After seeing this, sale or not, I think i will save my time and hold back disappointment for another day.
It seems to be a lower quality Trail Blazers but almost twice the price. Haven't played Trail Blazers, is it any good?

Any futuristic racing games that are like F-Zero and Wipeout for the Switch ? Closest we've got are Fast RMX, Trailblazer and Grip.

Doesn't make much sense when Mario kart looks so beautiful at 60fps and then this looks like an early PS3 game/Xbox 360
The devs suck at life.
Also Fast RMX exists, which is basically what this game should have been.
Not even a ps3 game more like a below average nintendo wii game.
Looks like they're about to transform into some kind of a robot.
Haha, now you mention it.....
Oh, that would have cranked this game upto 11 😂
If that were to happen, i will buy this game No question asked.. 😂
Does Nintendo employ any sort of quality control for 3rd party games?
Unsure! Mark
I'm just surprised you gave such high scores. graphics 11/20 despite the bait and switch? Even the 13/20 gameplay looks generous, you compare it against ridge racer, but honestly the original ridge racer looks more fun
but thanks for the review, you saved me buying it, even if it is on a 95% sale at the moment
It's crazy how deceptive the trailer is as u pointed out. In the trailer you see things like grinding against guard rails as u crash in to them sparks flying. When I see ur gameplay lol it's there but its dim and way less polished as the eshop trailers. Wow man u saved me some money. I will stick to fast rmx for my f zero fix on the switch lol. I would be happy if switch online brought over f zero super Nintendo at this point lol
Yeah...$45, I'm just gonna wait to see Grid for switch. Those eShop images strike again, haha.
" I can only review the game in front of me, " That's that #SwitchUp honesty
I’m afraid so. Glen
This reminds me a lot of Ridge Racer!
It has a Ridge Racer vibe. Glen
So basically, the studio devs/Nintendo is committing false advertisement...
You saved me some money bro. Thank you.
No worries man. Glen
Last thursday we announced our new game something very different to Xenon Racer but thought you might like to check it out. King of Seas is looking really good on the switch!! th-cam.com/video/obsNMJlMpbA/w-d-xo.html
Bought it for £0.91 in the recent e-shop sale, so I wasn’t expecting much. Not sure if it’s been patched in the time since release. Doesn’t seem like it.
If I’d paid full price, with Nintendo’s nonexistent refund policy? Well, let’s just say I’m glad I didn’t.
The game does run at 30 fps. I watched a video that showed the fps during gameplay
Not even that more like 20fps.
WOW the contrast!!! Trailers used to me annoy me when they don't show any actual gameplay footage and still usually do. This is the same and if it should say not actual gameplay as a disclaimer. It's basically false advertising.
Did anyone go to pax east? There was an a wipEout/F zero like game there that played and looked significantly better than this called Pacer. Cant wait for it tbh
We’ve just got back from EGX Rezzed in London and saw Pacer. Looks very good. No word on a Switch version yet though. Glen
got a feeling Nintendo are in trouble for false advertising, Nintendo life just uploaded a video about it & my own personal experience with Hollow on switch says they did the same with this
And to think I was going to pre purchase this train wreck. Glad I came to my senses and thought back to my pass mistakes!
Well trailer for this game did say "Not actual in-game footage". All in all, they should just put Need For Speed Underground 2 on Switch.
That's upsetting. I saw Soedesco and had high hopes
That's a damn shame. It looked like a fun arcade racer with a good budget. But looks like I'll have to wait quite a bit.
Thanks man you saved me the £1.39 I was about to spend on this
TO be fair it has had a bunch of patches and is probably worth that price. Mark
Haven't seen pop-up this bad since the Saturn days lol
I know! Glen
Wooooaaaaahhh... The speed of effect !!!... 😵😵😵😵😵😵😵... 🤮🤮🤮...
It’s really... no... It’s really No !!!!!... in fact... 🤣🤣😆😆🤪🤪🤪🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thanks for the video SwitchUp. Good job.
At least it doesn't have season passes before launch and microtransactions
right after your 10 worst reviewed games list too!
I know!
FIFA burn sealed their fate
That crowd was ridiculous. Glen
It's weird, because FastRMX looks insanely good on the switch, and this game could have pulled off screenshot level beauty, but didn't
Today we announce the third round of FREE additonal content - race round
Nevada on 4 new tracks(better to avoid area 51 these days) in a brand
new super car - check the trailer (Xbox )out here th-cam.com/video/ZYcEvglZW9o/w-d-xo.html
To be fair, this is not the first game to use pc screens and trailers on the eshop
It's on sale for under 2 quid
It's had a few patches since this review too I hear
@@SwitchUpYt
Hmmm, seems tempting, thanks
Nintendo F Zero GX please Why does anyone bother if they can't do a half decent racing game MK8Z has set the bar V high, I don't expect any where near like as in Polish buy please something worth while
Safed me only 1€.. But a big thank you! 1€ is 1€.. and this game with this pictures in the eshop is just unfair
Fast RMX has the same futuristic design and looks so much better. So it has to be the Wheels taking up a lot of resources 😂
Haha, yep those wheels really drain the game’s power. Glen
What did people expect? It's a Nintendo switch (which as a few additional limitations than it's competition)
Very true, but people’s expectations are unfairly raised when the incorrect information is used on the eshop. Glen
