FAST Racing Neo only just landed on the Wii U eShop a few weeks back. That being said, Shin’en is happy with the game’s sales performance thus far.

Speaking with Nintendo Life, Manfred Linzner from Shin’en said the studio is “very pleased” with how the racer is doing. He said:

“We had a bet running in the company on how many copies would be sold on day one. Martin called the highest number. And he was right. It was almost exactly the number he predicted. We are very pleased with the sales so far, but on the other side our preceding investment was very high as well. Anyway, currently it looks pretty bright for the sales.”

Digital Foundry’s latest technical analysis focuses on FAST Racing Neo, Shin’en’s just-released racer on the Wii U eShop.

Overall, the studio managed to put out a fantastic technical showpiece. FAST Racing Neo usually manages to maintain 60 frames per second with only small dips on a few tracks. The only downside stems from a compromise in rendering resolution. But thanks to the use of some great techniques and clever programming, Wii U owners now have an “impressive looking racer” which features “a blistering frame-rate and beautiful visual design.”

Take a look at the video for a look at Digital Foundry’s analysis. You can also find a more in-depth article here.
