Racing

I miss the Burnout franchise. I’m not very good at racing games so I’m always running off the road and hitting other cars. So the Burnout franchise was perfect for me. I loved how you can hit the cars and damage them. Unfortunately none of the Burnout games are on the Switch. However Asphalt 9: Legends is on the Switch and its a lot like Burnout. And its free-to-download! How is this game? Asphalt 9: Legends is not Burnout. Its…

Releasing tomorrow, Asphalt 9: Legends is a mobile game port for the Nintendo Switch based on arcade racing gameplay. With many mobile ports suffering lacklustre performance when leaving the mobile platform, there will no doubt be questions on how Asphalt 9 would deliver on the Switch. After putting it through the ringer, we are ready to answer that question and more. Let’s dive in!

I was going to write Batman: Arkham Knight for this entry of More Thoughts. Then I discovered…I did not like Batman: Arkham Knight. So instead of complaining about a game I didn’t like, I thought I’d talk about SNES games on the Switch. We have them now. 20 games were launched last week! What do I think of them? Twenty Super Nintendo (SNES) games came to the Nintendo Switch last week. Nintendo Online members can download a SNES app to…

Need for Speed: Heat was revealed today for the Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Check out the reveal trailer below. Need for Speed is an arcade racer, much like Burnout. I prefer Burnout but Need for Speed is pretty cool too. I’m glad to see arcade racers like this are still around. I do wish it was coming to the Nintendo Switch though. That said, Need for Speed Heat’s reveal trailer didn’t announce a release date nor did it…

Monster Jam Steel Titans is one of the better Monster Truck games to ever land on consoles – the fantastic handling is the primary reason it stands so high above everyone else. While I had a lot of fun with the game, I let friends and family take their hand at the game, and it wasn’t as pretty. I came to a very real and quick observation: this game is too damn hard. Monster Jam Steel Titans is the 5th…

When it comes to kart racing games, Mario Kart has been on top since the beginning, and while others have made valiant attempts at gaining ground and potentially taking over the franchise juggernaut, they always fall short in a few specific ways, creating a good, but not a great, racing experience. For once, the tables might have turned, as Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled (Crash Team Racing from here on out) is easily the best Crash Team Racing title ever released, and rivals Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in many ways! Let's dive in!

Microsoft hyped up an E3 2019 beyond our imagination. They promised surprises, bringing someone new, lots of games, and more. Shigeru Miyamoto was even rumored to appear at the Xbox Briefing. So how did the conference turn out? Well…lets talk about it… What was that Microsoft? Xbox E3 Briefing 2019 was full of games, sure, but nothing too stunning. We knew about most of the games and the ones we didn’t know about were mostly indies. Microsoft, to their credit,…

For many decades now, the kart racing genre has been dominated by one franchise, and while others have put together valiant efforts, nothing has quite reached the quality of Mario Kart. And I think companies have begun to realize a standard kart racer just won’t cut it anymore, and SEGA took that philosophy and delivered with Sonic Team Racing, available on the PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. So what really makes this game different from all the rest? The…

Team Sonic Racing is available now! Are you going to play it? Let us know in the comments. Meanwhile, check out the launch trailer for the game. This is a really strange launch trailer. Its more like a commercial for the game than a typical launch trailer. Most of the trailer is live action and a put on of the actual game. When the trailer does show actual gameplay, its very brief. You have to wonder if publishers are ashamed…

First there was Journey, then there was Flower and there’s…Bird Game+?! Wait, what am I talking about? I’m talking about games that go beyond just simple fun. Basically games that are artistic and beautiful. Bird Game+ fits into that category. But is it a game that you’ll want to spend a lot of time with? Here is my review of Bird Game+ for the Nintendo Switch. Bird Game+ is a very unique experience for the Nintendo Switch. Right from the…
