   FAST Racing NEO is very close to perfection, it is how F-Zero Wii U should look like :) I'm just curious why Nintendo didn't provide F-ZeroFAST Racing NEO is very close to perfection, it is how F-Zero Wii U should look like :) I'm just curious why Nintendo didn't provide F-Zero brand for this amazing fast racing game.

   It's hard to imagine that a game like FAST Racing NEO even exists.

It's an indie game found on the eShop for less than twenty bucks, and it's gameplay and presentation reflects a level of quality that many high profile games would find enviable. With tight controls, varied courses, and a challenging, but satisfying difficulty curve FAST Racing NEO manages to impress with great success.
   
   The game sets itself apart from other futuristic racing games by introducing a mechanic that makes you phase between two colors. If your color matches the obstacle you drive over you will get a boost, but if the color is wrong you will be slowed down. Mastering this tecnique is integral to doing well in the game, and offers a layer of depth that keeps you on your toes and simultaneously sucks you into the gorgeous game even more.
   
   With a high skill ceiling, ten vehicles, sixteen courses, four difficulties, online and split-screen multiplayer the game encourages you to play it both as a competitive game and as a party game that will have you and your friends at the edge of your seat.
   
   There are a few design oversights that might leave a sense of confusion or minor annoyance. With split-screen multiplayer you can only play full cups and not individual stages. It's a shame if you dislike some courses in a cup and would rather skip over them. There is also the occasional odd speed bump within the course that seem nonsensical and is not telegraphed. It makes it look like you are doing something wrong, when you seemingly are not.
   
   That said, the minor complaints are so far outweighed by the positives of the game that it is hard to detract the game based on it. It is the first game I have played from Shin'en and I'm eager to see what more they have produced and will produce in the future.… Expand

The game looks fantastic on WiiU and shows what can be done with some incredible coding and technical prowess. Shin'en have become known for squeezing the most out of Nintendo hardware. Their mastery of their craft is on display with 60 fps anti grav racing. What is even more impressive is they found a simple yet interesting way to add a bit of extra depth to racing. You swap colors to hit color corresponding bits of the track to gain a boost.
   
   If there is one criticism I have; it would be that the UI is a bit spartan and plain looking. But for a game that costs $15 its hard to quibble.… Expand

   Highly overrated! Why, because this game is lacking depth in many ways and other bad design decisions:
   - No car tuning whatsoever

   - Not enough event variety
   - Weird save-game mechanism
   
   It could have be a really good game if some more development would have put into it.… Expand
