Nintendo eShop has a habit of showing gameplay from superior platforms, I bought Super Hero Driving School last week, the level in the demo looks superb but in reality doesn’t even exist in the game! Good review, bought the first one but will give this a miss, cheers.

Yea I've mentioned it on several occasions, just another example of the lack of QC for the eshop.

Probably the most underrated rogue like I know. I passed it up for years because no one seems to give its full credit with comments like “it’s almost as good as Isaac or Gungeon but miles above anything below them”. The game is awesome and definitely deserves a spot aside the best in its genre.

There really seems to be a decent racer in this game. If they finished it properly and tested it then it would be well worth it. They didn't do enough to polish the game. if they had then it would be a lot more tempting. We see a lot of that on the e-shop. Devs who start a game but don't do enough to really make it a quality purchase.

Great Review. I wonder why they don't just make the toy racer games topdown like Micro Machines? Would probably resolve all the performance- and control-problems and give them a big nostalgia boost. But probably they or their publishers think they all have to compete with Kart Racers.

Not sure tbh, there aren't really any games that I've played that have come close to feeling like the classic micro machines. I like that they've tried something different but the levels are just very roughly put together.

@@SwitchStars The best and latest Micro Machines style game I have played was Motorstorm RC on PS Vita, wonder why nobody ever ported it to PC or Switch. Update: it was by Sony exclusive studio Evolution Software, who then went 2016 to Codemasters, who made Micro Machines. But Codemasters now became part of Criterion, so the Micro Machines and Motorstorm Sequel and Port or Remake dreams are now probably buried forever.

They should maybe just do one version properly rather than slight rehashes that have all the same issues. But their way probably makes them more money for less effort.

Great review as always, I won't be buying this though. Quality control definitely needs to be a thing again. How in good consciousness can they pass a game to be sold on the eShop (or a physical copy for that matter) that have issues like this? It looks fun, but with all the issues you mentioned and the obviously low frame rate, I'm giving it a miss.

Cheers Kory. Unfortunately it's the same issue with a lot of ports, I think a lot of devs either struggle getting them optimised, or get to a certain point where the game runs OK and are done with it.

I think it gets dicey anytime you have toy cars and they’re not cartoony mini versions. I think that’s why there’s so many mini versions out there. Paint the ground orange and this would be a Hot Wheels game.

I don't really know, most ports tend to see developers reducing the textures to potato vision and being done with it, with the game still running like ass, so they've done a better job than most.
