FAST Racing Neo content coming next year
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 3 Comments
Shin’en casually announced FAST Racing Neo a few weeks ago. Soon after, the game dropped off the radar.
Neo’s announcement came without any sort of information or media. This begs the question: when will we actually see something pertaining to the game?
Unfortunately, Shin’en intends to keep us waiting a bit longer. The studio will be sharing content starting next year.
Shin’en’s Manfred Linzner told Pretendo:
In 2014. We currently optimize the local multiplayer part and it seems as we can go far beyond what we have done previously.

Creator of Hyper Light Drifter talks about making an SNES port of the game– ‘we have a deep love for the SNES’
Posted on 10 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
This was serious — we all have a deep love for the platform, and that type of money would allow us to hire someone full time to ‘down-port’ the game. Of course, it would be a hefty task and there would be significant differences — fewer enemies, effects and animation frames due to memory limitations — though I think we could adjust and make something incredibly special with ‘Super Hyper Light Drifter’ regardless. It’s a dream goal to put it up on my favorite console of all, and I hope to accomplish that dream sooner than later. Maybe once we release the game we will have the opportunity to accomplish this.
– Hyper Light Drifter creator Alex Preston
Alex spoke with RedBull Gaming about plenty of other things, particularly mentioning the potential inclusion of an area of the game that uses Mode7-like traversal– a ‘fun vehicle section’ as he calls it. Plenty of things to be excited about here!
