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.

While this is the launch trailer for Chariot, the Wii U version won’t be out for a few more weeks. A specific date will be announced “soon.”

23rd September, 2014 – Nintendo has unveiled details of a more convenient mechanic for selling downloadable versions of Wii U and Nintendo 3DS games at retail across the UK, Ireland and Germany, with further European countries following in the future.

The new distribution platform allows European retailers the opportunity to sell a range of Nintendo digital codes via a tablet-based solution. In turn, customers will be able to visit participating stores to conveniently purchase redemption codes for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS software, including download exclusive titles and add-on content, using this new purchase mechanic. In-store, once a customer has chosen a game to purchase, the retailer will use the tablet-based service to issue and print out a unique code that will allow the purchaser to download the specific content to their Wii U or Nintendo 3DS device via Nintendo eShop.

The new distribution platform is already available at LEGOLAND Germany in Günzburg, Germany, and also recently launched in the UK – on 17th September – at the Reading branch of Smyths Toys Superstore.
