With FAST Racing Neo, developer Shin’en will be looking to make a few improvements to the game’s predecessor.

First, phase switching has been “streamlined” and it’s now “more fun to use.” Shin’en also adjusted the AI so that it’s more human-like.

Shin’en Manfred Linzner told Nintendon:

First of all we analyzed what people liked and disliked in the original Wii game. For instance, most people enjoyed the unique phase switching gameplay, because it’s something you have in no other racing game.

So we build on that but tried to make it more streamlined and more fun to use. Something most people disliked was the brutal difficulty in higher leagues, because the Ai was simply too perfect. We made sure that the Ai behaves more ‘human’ this time.

Update (9/23): Best Buy has corrected its price and is no longer taking pre-orders. However, strangely enough, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is available on Amazon for $29.99.

Best Buy appears to have made a price error with its Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate listing. It should cost $39.99 when it comes out next year, but the retailer has the game available for only $29.99. You can place an order here and save $10 while the mistake remains in place.
