Fast RMX is one of the few Switch launch titles that retails for less than $20. For that meager price tag you get to race through thirty futuristic tracks riddled with various obstacles to keep things interesting. Besides the challenging tracks, you’ll have to manage your racing machine’s phase/color to take advantage of the numerous power strips to give you a significant speed boost. If your vehicle is in the wrong phase, it will slow you down instead. Orbs are scattered throughout the course and collecting them will fill up your boost meter which not only increases your speed, it also lets you knock into your opponents and cause them to spin out of control for a short period of time.
"Captain Falcon is irrelevant to F-Zero" It's been almost 20 years since the last F-Zero game, so why did the series disappear from the spotlight?
Rich at GameSpew: Got a Nintendo Switch? Love racing games? Unfortunately there aren't many great racing games on the format at the moment, but we've rounded up the best that it does have.
We were initially sceptical about Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. While we knew it would be fun to play, it wasn’t developed specifically for the Nintendo Switch. Instead, it was an enhanced port of the same Wii U game released four years ago. In truth, Nintendo could have easily ported Mario Kart 8 to the Switch without any enhancements or new content and it would have been a best-seller, but the developer took the time to improve aspects that were criticised in the original release. As a result, Mario 8 Deluxe was one of our highest rated games of 2017.
Battle Mode made a triumphant return with new bespoke arenas, and multiple power-ups can now be stored, adding a new tactical element which fundamentally changes the core gameplay. The novelty of playing a console-quality Mario Kart game on a handheld never loses its appeal, making it one of the most fun-packed split-screen multiplayer experiences available. Mixing reimagined fan favourites and new imaginatively-designed environments, the diverse track selection in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe also puts many current-generation racing games to shame. Each track is brought to life with vibrant visuals upscaled to 1080p resolution and a rock solid frame rate running at 60fps - it's a feast for the eyes, particularly in Handheld mode. If you own a Nintendo Switch, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe belongs in your collection. The standard has been set so high, it’s difficult to imagine where Nintendo will take the franchise next in the inevitable sequel.
In other words, it's one of the Switch games that're worth picking up.
