Edit:I don't think I did enough to explain the flashback mechanic - it allows you to hold a button and rewind time whenever you need it. Phew. I feel better now. Mark
Hi guys - anyone else realising they played some of these ports before? I was a big TOCA fan myself but also had a lot of time for this one. It was a nice return to form. Have you been waiting for a racer on Switch? Will the lack of a physical at launch make you wait? Enjoy! Mark
It's definitely a good racer. I have it on my X1 thanks to backwards compatibility, but seeing as I don't have the DLC I may want to revisit on the Switch since it would be pretty awesome to play in portable mode in particular. I'm inclined to wait for a physical release though.
When is it released
"Will the lack of a physical at launch make you wait?" Absolutely YES
SwitchUp @Mark, could you tell me how the AI drives, how is the AI driver rubber banding, and does the AI make mistakes to give them realism?
Your review is now perfect. 20/20
Tip: go into difficulty settings, go to custom, change handling mode to simulation pro, turn off traction and stability control, leave ABS on. Then, change controller preset to use the right analog stick as acceleration and braking and the triggers to change gears. You now have an incredible experience.
I will try this. Otherwise triggers for accelation/break and stick for gears?
Right stick as gear up and gear down is my fav way to play racers on a pad. It infuriates me when it is not an option. Learned this from a guy online in rallisport challenge 2 who kept beating me by seconds on the same course using the same car, even though I raced really well. Finally asked how he was doing it and that was his secret. The gap closed dramatically when I made the switch.
Cornerstone Calisthenics good thing you can customize the controls to any button you like
Thank you, this cmt has saved me from poor experience made by the traction
Nice.. Feels different😁😁😁😁
Zelda, Witcher 3, Luigi 3 and now this......I'm gonna have to get another job!
I feel your pain Judith! It’s a really crazy month! Mark
You better quit job...
Damon X Machina and Astral Chain also
If these are the hardships we go though, its great to be a Switch player
Fire emblem, Astral Chain, Luigi’s Mansion (possibly). Witcher I have in 4k. Zelda I’m not ready to pay $60 for that
But then you won't have time to play games.
Now I can play grid and zelda on the can, life is good.
You sound more honest than the usual "now I can play on the go!" Line
With the difficulty turned up/assists off Grid Autosport is the closest thing I've found to replicating the feel of real racing in a campaign.
Finally! A great racing sim for the Switch. Thanks for the indepth review. I can finally throw away Gear.Club Unlimited
And forget it ever existed
Lol yeah I knew you'd be hyped for this one mate. Mark
wtf?! Gear Club? Grid > VRally >>>>Gear.Club
Haha I was thinking the same exact thing
Racing sim?it's pure arcade you numpty looool wow
I know it's another port but it's nice to see Switch receiving such an amazing racing sim
Yeah I've been craving a Gran Turismo style racing game for switch for so long. Looks like this is it. Mario Kart 8 was disappointing to me because there's a lack of content, there's no big cool story mode or something like Mario Aces tennis has. So I've been looking for other racing games constantly. This is the first one I really like the look of. I liked that Horizon Turbo game or whatever its called, but that's obviously just an arcade style racer. I miss that really in depth sim racing style
Been waiting a long long long time for a legit racing sim on the Nintendo platform....finally! I will wait for the physical release tho. Waited this long I might as well wait a little longer lol
@@duffman18 do u only have switch or other platforms aswell? else u coulde maybe like project cars or forza maybe? or if ur into real sim racing theres also assetto corsa
Sim? Grid is a Arcade/Semi Sim Racer.
Assetto Corsa, Project Cars are Sim Racers
This game looks well worth the asking price. Nice review Mark
Awesome review! Was waiting on this one from you guys. Pre-purchased & can't wait to finally play it! Gonna fill a big hole in the Switch library.
This isn’t just the best racer on Switch but one of the best I’ve played in a while in general! So many options, races, cars, modes. Visuals are on point especially in handheld, and sound is well balanced with again many options! Thanks for the review...
Oh, and a High Res Texture pack!!! What a killer release
My favorite racer from last Gen. I will definitely be buying this, especially because of the effort they put in to the port and they didn't hit us with a high switch tax. Amazing review fellas like always, your presentation on these videos is superb,informative and a joy to watch. Best switch reviews by far on youtube.
Thanks so much mate! Mark
You really want me to buy yet another game, don’t you?
You rascals!
Hehehe sorry mate! Mark
SwitchUp imagine myself trying half the day to make the game start only to later discover this afternoon that today is only the 18. -.-
Dont hate EA! They are trying veeery hard! .... To get your Money
Lol I didn't say EA....uhhhhh....no..... *shuffles off*
I played this game a lot on PC. Thing is, I might not want to repeat what I did on my PC on here. Which means getting first on all events with Ravenwest.
But still, Feral Interactive did a wonderful job porting this to the Switch!
It looks pretty good. It doesnt suffer the same problem with torchlught 2 with me where mods was needed to fix the game. GRID is perfect as is so its worth getting for the switch all over again. I do wish we had Dirt Rally 2
Who needs sleep when you have SwitchUp videos to watch? ;P
Also, your ** reference and the censoring bit was a nice touch. I'm grateful that this isn't one of their games.
Haha do you know who I was talking about!?!?!? Hahah. Mark
Joe Joe well at least you liked your own comment mate. GG
Good to see a port not be half arsed (multiplayer or not) and finally a sim racer on the switch. Yes please!
Exactly mate! Mark
Looks like a great game at a fair price. Zelda must wait.
If you liked Destruction Derby then pray they will port Wreckfest to the Switch (or play it on a decent pc)
That game is a blast.
Sure is
No way can Wreckfest run on the Switch, its hardware is from like 2009
@@BoleDaPole don't see why not
@@BoleDaPole more like 2014. That's were the switches hardware is from.
If they port wreckfest to the switch I will just yell shut up and take my money!
Looks like it's a solid car simulation. Cheers for the review, Mark.
You're welcome mate. Mark
I am a PC Gamer but I am fighting hard not to buy a Switch Lite, so many good games.
I play on PC, can't use that on a Aeroplane though 😁picked up my Lite today 👍
Isn't the lite less powerful though, why not get the more powerful original
@@itza8334 No they are the same in terms of gaming power. I will only ever use the switch in the portable mode so for me the lite is the better purchase.
Don't buy the Lite, it is nonsense.
The Original cost not that more and you has more games you can play.
@@GoodHunter89 It may be nonsense for you but why would I want to pay for extra for features I will never use ?? I will never play the switch on a TV and the games that take advantage of the original switch I have no interest in. The savings can go towards a couple of games.
Fantastic review as always, but I’m personally holding out for a physical version myself.
Ye me too
me to
@@XIANG_999 I gave up waiting for the physical release 😌

Yet another game that I bought thanks to SwitchUP. It sounded like you were trying to restrain yourselves throughout the review this time and failing almost completely by the end!
Hahaha cheers mate, yeah it's tough when you're having such a good time! Mark
I can't believe this is on the Switch and I haven't spotted it until now! Ridiculous! Racing games are easily my favourite genre and I've been craving a more simulation-based racing game on the Switch! Just spotted that I missed the sale at Xmas for it as well, gutted! Hoping it goes back on sale really soon
Hey Andy, probably the best one we have on switch and certainly all go on sale again soon. Mark
If you’ve yet to pick it up, and you’re in the uk, it’s back on sale
@@dailotan I got the DekuDeals email earlier! Thank you for the message though! 😄
Just Prepurchased it,it is sitting on my switch teasing me til Thursday 😜
Hehehe
I've heard great things about this port, and would love to add a racing game to my brand new switch, especially for handheld play. The only thing I'm worried about are the shoulder buttons of the joycons, which obviously aren't the pressure-sensitive triggers I would typically use on other systems for finely inputting the throttle and brake. If I were playing docked, I would just use a GameCube controller. But I want to play primarily on the go, so the joycons will be necessary. I've read that some hardcore racing sim fans found success and comfortability after remapping the inputs, including acceleration/brake to the right analog stick. That would take getting used to, but could possibly work out well in the end.
Use the splitpad pro for handheld mode
Excellent review! Subscribed AND pre-ordered the game :-)
Thanks John! Welcome! Mark
I was starting to wonder if there was a realistic racing game... Now I know.
Thanks switchup!
I recently realized how much I enjoy racers, and this game is on sale in the USA. Your review is helpful , thanks !
L.
Cheers Laura! Mark
I want this SOOOOO bad....physically...any chance we will see a physical edition of this one?
I'd think so
@@SwitchUpYt I sure hope so..!
Mark, you need to work on your braking and throttle management into the corners. As far as music goes, it's only a distraction when racing. Realistic car and ambient noise is far more important (to me). But being I prefer racing a with a wheel, I doubt I'll pick this game up, but I am happy to see a game like this on the platform.
Haha cheers mate yeah I tend to launch about line a maniac. Mark
Holy crap! These graphics look awesome, really impressive that they have damage to the cars too. Would love some burnout on the switch! Thanks guys
Burnout remastered did you got it???
The first few seconds of this video suddenly reminded me of TOCA Touring Cars which I loved back in the day but had totally forgotten about. Then you mentioned it and, well, like so many games on Switch I'll have to pick this up for a dose of (highly updated) nostalgia. Awesome!
Ed Archard Gotta love ToCA
Nice stuff Mark! Glad they took time with this game and it runs/looks good - wish it was physical though
Already have it pre loaded onto my switch!
I wish all games on every console gave u the option to choose 60 fps over graphics same as battery life saver that's awesome that they implemented that which only means that every developer saying they can only get a game to do 30 fps on switch and not 60 fps is full of SHIT and needs to go back to school to learn how to CODE BETTER
Wavy Vaporizers Personally i would set the Performance preset when racing, while swtching to Quality preset only for taking screenshots.
You had me at "codemasters"
Awesome review. :)
Levi
Cheers brother! Mark
I just want midnight club games on switch man
Love this from you because of it I definitely grabbing this one of the three switch channels I still watch every time you release a new video
You do as always an amazing job. Your reviews are clear and so full of information.
Thank you so much
Many many complain about the missing online component but to me, that's actually irrelevant, I'm not paying Nintendo for a half backed online system, all I want is a good racing game to pass the time while I'm on a waiting line or on my way home, on the plane, etc.
If they add the online option later for free, good, more for the people but I doubt its a dealbreaker
On sale on the Eshop for Black Friday. Just bought! Thanks for great review
I love this game on mobile and have been playing it for many years. Just such amazing graphics and great variety of racing styles. Love this, just wish they had a physical version.
I was worried this was going to be a direct port of the iOS version but this sounds closer to the original, looking forward to it!
It's better than the original. Port of the PC version and the faster mode runs faster than the capped 30 fps on other consoles.
Your review convinced me! I'm not much of a racing games fan. I used to play a little bit of need for speed on my pc back in the day. But if I was to purchase any racing game now, I believe this is the one. My nephew is gonna be screaming with joy when he sees this hahaha!
Nice to have a game for Switch owners that wants a great racing simulator. I tempted to add it to my collection if it ever does have a physical release.
First proper racing sim on handheld's since Gran Turismo PSP. Not counting mobile phones. Yet another great reason to pick up a switch.
I loved playing Grid on previous consoles and I will be picking this up. Hopefully a port of Dirt won't be too far behind!
And we need also f1
Good looking racing game. Hoping for Forza to come to the switch eventually since Nintendo and Microsoft seem to be playing nice with eachother.
I just want them to re-release Forza 4 on Switch... One of the main reasons I will never get rid of my 360...
I'm glad I bought this, it's really fun👍👍 just wish their was an online option but I could leave without it
There will be soon. It's coming. Mark
Never heard of this game but codemasters crushes F1 so I’m definitely grabbing it. Thanks for the review!
Honnestly, it’s uncontrollable without analog trigger, Nintendo is backward again, Im usually good at racing game, but in this one, can’t finish first and the other races are pushing you out of the track lol... I’m waiting for my gamecube controller adapter!
Just discovered your channel... Wow. You deserve so much more visibility.
Thanks Bader! Mark
Can we all just take a min in 2021 to look and see how well the switch handles this beautiful game and compare it to other dumpster fires where the switch struggles
I'm not usually a fan of racing sims but this review makes me want this game.
The whole time i questioned if this is Switch footage until i bought the game and seen it myself. I don't know what tricks they pull, but car racing games always look like they are 2 graphics generations ahead. Also Codemasters have a long history with Nintendo - i remember playing Micro Machines like crazy with my dad on SNES ages ago.
Hi Mark. Top notch review. Was looking forward to this before your review, but now it is a must buy. Not having online at the moment is not a problem at all in my book (I am an exclusive single player kind of guy). But I missed some info from your review. How does this game play on handheld without analog triggers? I mainly play handheld mode and I am a bit worried that digital triggers might hinder the experience. And here's hoping (once again) it gets a physical release (soon or at all).
It's so hard to believe this footage is from the Switch. Can't wait to see the high res textures
Delightful isn’t it?
What a fantastic review this was! Great video, just purchased this game...🤙🤙
Great review. Looks awesome. Will be downloading tomorrow on release!
Wow, game looks excellent and I'm glad it has finally released! I'm waiting for the physical release before I pick it up :)
Man. This channel makes me broke. 🤣
Fantastic video, had a lot of codemaster games down the years on c64 and speccy , and codemaster racing starting with micro machines on amiga and megadrive.
I know you said no multiplayer atm ..but did you mention it had no leaderboards online too ? Thats a deal breaker if it is... i can just about handle no multiplier , but no leaderboards in a racer is basically racer game suicide.
Will get this game eventually, but it would be a day one if it had a physical release.
If someone still buy this, the first thing you do is going to the options menu and change the graphics mode to performance.
It’s baffling that freaking fidelity is the default option in a racing game.
It’s also very sad that most racing games on Switch (even the ones with supbar mobile graphics like Gear Club and Asphalt 9) are locked to 30fps.
Somehow I had no idea this was even coming to Switch. Thanks to this review, not only do I know but I will be purchasing. Cheers, Fellas!
Cheers mate I appreciate the kind words! Mark
I love this review. Been contemplating if I should buy this or not (after the horrible Xenon Racer port), but now that the smoke’s cleared, I’ll be surely picking this one up. Kinda disappointed for CTR and the whole MTX thing, so this is on my next to-buy list. :)
Two things:
1.) There’s some bleeping sounds at 9:10-ish onwards (similar to the ones used when someone swears on TV). What’s up with that? xD
2.) I think value should score 17/20 (to bring that to 90%) because $34 is a totally reasonable price given that all DLCs are included and how the game is ported with much effort. With all the shenanigans in the gaming industry, if a developer/publisher does these kind of “goodwill” efforts, then we should support them.
As always, looking forward to your next vids! Keep it coming. :D
Lol the bleeping was to cover the name of the publisher I was calling out haha. Mark
Currently on sale for £20.99, just bought it. Downloading now 😎
Nice review :)
I wonder if the developers will be adding support for the 8bitDo SN30 Pro+ controller - analogue triggers ?? That would be nice.
Didn’t even this was on Switch, cheers, subscribed. Had it on Xbox and loved it, second one was garbage.
Thanks Dave
Go SpeedRacer/ I thought this was a family friendly channel what is w/ all the cussing Mark!? hahaha awesome job
Grid autosport is the best racing game you can play for any handheld device, Switch, Android and IOS. it's $2 on play store and it's the best $2 game i bought
I'll be picking this on release.so excited
why did this not get a physical version?
I just bought this thinking it was Grid 1. Bout to find out if it holds up! Never played before
The OG destruction derby game and could maybe go as far as 2 say the OG battle royale game, Twisted Metal! Man I wish they would bring that game series back(And not fuck it up).
Was that a llama driving the Ford focus? Lol strange
Definitely a day one purchase; jumping up to the top of my list of games that I need to buy.
I hope there's a physical copy too
« Downside is the multiplayer » great, I never play online lol
I have to be honest: Judging from the footage it looks like the controls are closer to a 1/20 than a 20/20.
Is the steering really sensitive? The reason I'm asking is that everyone I see playing this game are flicking the left stick like they are using the d-pad instead of using consistent inputs through the corners.
No mate it’s fine - i play with joycon. Also, you can adjust all of that to suit your taste. Mark
@@SwitchUpYt Thanks for the reply. It's much appreciated.
Gear Club Unlimited 2 is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
lol, you must be used to mobile crap games like gear unlimited which is total crap ...
Welcome to everyone checking out this review because of the latest sale 👍
I bought the game based on this review in 2024.
its not really that hard to be the best proper racer on switch seeing as this is the only REAL racing game on it and no im not counting gearclub 1 and 2 because they are just mobile ports this is a proper racing game and runs and looks good
excactly, The switch isnt known for their racing/car/vehicles games .. and with no analog triggers on the controller, racing games doesnt feel right
I was watching this with my daughter and she scores the graphics 20 out of 20. And she used her serious voice.
Hahaha she sounds awesome!
Going to pick it up great review guys
Really digging the background music of this review. Any chance to know the name? Thank you
I refuse to believe controls are 20 with the only viable analog trigger options on the switch being a gamecube/third party contorller. That being said enjoyed the review!
Donald Glover Cheers Donald! Couldn’t really fault them they implemented everything they possibly could. Mark
8bitdo has their latest controller the SN30 PRO+ has analog triggers as well
Can you watch the Replay after the race?
Yes you can. Mark
You talked me into and with 50% off sold. Lol. Thank you.
Yes! Nintendo Switch has its GTS, Nintendo Switch has its Project Cars! Perfect game.
Great video! Very impressed by this one
Excellent review, thanks!
Ok. I must get this one. Thanks for the review, guys.
$35??? dang easy buy... wish it was physical
The Handling looks slippery 😅
Biggest problem for racers on switch is the lack of analog triggers. No way to gauge your acceleration when its an "on and off" trigger
Terence Caron There are ways around it here thankfully
This is one of the best racing games i ever played and the only real driving simulation that i finished to the end, actually this game was the reason why I stopped liking need for speed games, i played this game on pc in 2007 the graphics back then was mind boggling
There are some great racing games on Switch but this will fill the simulation niche nicely.
When will released 'HD Graphics Pack'? At launch? In any case, the graphics are very beautiful right now. :)
It's a spectacular video game but, I really miss a "rally mode"
