Aces of the Luftwaffe has made it to several platforms over the past few years. It’s now been revealed that a Switch version is in the works as well.
YouTuber PietSmiet stopped by HandyGames’ offices in Germany and was given an early look at Aces of the Luftwaffe running on Switch. Below, at the 3:06 mark, you can watch some work in progress gameplay.

Sonic and Mario have already been together in a few games. Thanks to Mario & Sonic in the Olympic Games and Smash Bros., it’s not weird anymore to see both of them sharing a scene. However, Mario Kart is still a forbidden area for non-Nintendo characters.
Maybe that’s why modder CorBond87 chose to add Sonic to the Mario Kart 8 (Wii U) roster. By simply changing Metal Mario’s model to that of Sonic’s (probably the Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed 3D model), we can see Mario and Sonic sharing a kart race, and it would be completely normal nowadays.
There are still a few things to be polished, since Sonic sounds like Metal Mario and its animations aren’t changed, but it’s really cool to finally see the blue hedgehog in a racing game along with other Nintendo characters.
Here’s the video, so check it out by yourselves.
