Latest FAST Racing Neo details

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 6 Comments

A preview of FAST Racing Neo from Nintendo World Report provides additional details about Shin’en’s upcoming racer. Read on below for a summary of the latest information.

– Sunhara Plains is among the game’s courses
– This level has flame torches everywhere and being hit by one of these is brutal
– Daitoshi Station is another track, set in space
– There is an open area where you have to fly between various asteroids and there is a very little room for error
– At another point in that same course, asteroids are also trying to crush you and that stuns players
– Storm Coast and Kamagori City are other new tracks
– Storm Coast makes hefty use of the switching mechanics and took place in the pouring rain
– Kamagori City is very short
– Every lap here is over in roughly 35 seconds
– Kamagori City has an old Nanostray boss in the background
– Other references can be found in the final version
– The stages shown so far aren’t how the final cups will be
– The design is nearly done, but there will be a lot of internal testing before submitting the game for release
– The full game will also feature a variety of modes including the Championships, Multi Player, Online Play and a harsher Hero Mode
– No smaller challenge levels like the previous game, but there will be other options will keep players engaged

No DLC for FAST Racing Neo, soundtrack coming, Shin’en wants “a futuristic racer on a new handheld”

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U eShop | 47 Comments

The folks over at We Are Just Gamers published an interview with Manfred Linzner from Shin’en. Much of the talk focuses on FAST Racing Neo.

At one point, Linzner was asked if there are any plans to release DLC for its upcoming Wii U racer. This is ruled out quickly, with Linzner stating: “We want to release all content we created at launch of the game.”

Linzner also commented on FAST Racing Neo’s music, and confirmed that there are plans to bring out a soundtrack “at a later date.”

“For the music in FRN we tried a fresh style. We wanted something that could sound like from an 2015 Arcade Game. We really love how the music developed for the game. We plan to release the soundtrack at a later date.”

FAST Racing Neo will only be on Wii U. However, it sounds like Shin’en has at least some interest in seeing “a futuristic racer on a new handheld”.

“We currently have no plans to bring FRN to another system. However, i think a futuristic racer on a new handheld would be great.”
