Digital Foundry has offered a closer look at Team Sonic Racing on Switch from a technical perspective. After inspecting the game, one of the main takeaways is that it’s a very strong version.
Team Sonic Racing looks very visually similar on Switch compared to other versions of the game, Digital Foundry reports. There are some differences though, such as how the opening intro is missing on Nintendo’s console – which we mentioned previously.

[Review] Team Sonic Racing

System: Switch
Release date: May 21, 2019
Developer: Sumo Digital
Publisher: SEGA
By its very nature, a Sonic racing game is a strange prospect. If Sonic can run around at the speed of sound, why would he even need to use a racecar to go fast in the first place? However, this discrepancy hasn’t stopped SEGA from pumping out Sonic-themed racing games over the years, from Sonic R all the way back on the ill-fated Sega Saturn to 2012’s acclaimed Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. Team Sonic Racing is the series’ latest motorsports effort, and while it certainly won’t challenge Mario Kart’s status as the supreme kart racer on the market, it still provides plenty of racing thrills for everyone to enjoy, as well as some special nods for longtime fans.

Team Sonic Racing devs on why non-Sonic universe characters were dropped
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Sumo Digital worked on two kart racers for SEGA. The two sides teamed up again for Team Sonic Racing, but there are no SEGA characters to be found here – it’s naturally all about Sonic.
Some may be surprised to see such a specific roster focus given Sumo’s past efforts. In a recent interview with GameSpot, studio design director Derek Littlewood explained that the move was a difficult one, but it allowed the team “to create a very new kind of unique experience”.
