[@crunchychips8123]

@@trustavidity The rubber banding was kinda there for a reason. Bit hard to blow racers up with props if the racers get too spread out. Biggest problem was online multiplayer: there were only two viable vehicles for online, and they were the last two you'd unlock.

[@onetwo6039]

Hell yeah. I love that game. 👏👏👏👍✋

[@charizardoreo]

I feel like theres no real reason to get the Nickelodeon kart racer when you could get Mario Kart 8, Crash Team Racing or even Sonic Team Racing as better options

[@broadnerdmike6450]

I agree. Seems like something that would be on a Hidden Gems video 5 years from now.....at best.

[@rogerarteaga2665]

You really didnt pay attention to the video right? He stated it'd be a good pickup if you've already played the others. Obviously, those are all better pickups but if you already played the better ones it's another recommendation

[@epicbarista]

I grew up with Rugrats and Double Dare, so some of the characters and the green slime element really appeal to me. Don't care at all for Spongebob and the zoomer reboot of Turtles though... it would've been great if it had Rocko, Doug, and Ah Real Monsters, instead... as well as levels that paid homage to Temple of Doom and Salute Your Shorts.

[@robertwarf3316]

Dude, speaking as a 32 year old that absolutely loved the original cartoon, the 2012 reboot of Turtles is sooooo good. Definitely worthy of a "which run is better" debate. I love your idea for the throwback nicktoon characters and Legends/Shorts inspired tracks. A go kart track on Camp Anawana would be sweet

[@biglevian]

4 turtles... How lazy can a game get? It's not like Nickelodeon has a giant backlog of characters....I think this could have been cool, if they used cars from the shows and a lot more characters. Now it looks like something from 20 years ago with no real reason to exist.

Why Nintendo has not brought F-Zero back is beyond me

[@remorandrooks9978]

Ik right I love F-Zero, F-Zero X, n F-Zero GX❤️❤️❤️

[@TechWithSean]

It would make a sick mobile game if they went back to the SNES style graphics

[@Laternater]

The excuse is they have no idea how to innovate it or some crap like that.. Meanwhile still pumping out the same and tired and rehashed Mario games ad nauseum.

[@KyussTheWalkingWorm]

Because this style of racing game doesn't sell enough to make it worthwhile for them. It wouldn't turn a profit if made on an AAA budget, and there are already some pretty good alternatives filling the niche in the indie space (fast RMX and Redout, the first is even a Switch exclusive). Same reason why Sony no longer makes WipeOut games.

[@remorandrooks9978]

@@KyussTheWalkingWorm I love Wipeout racing

[@nightfall5387]

Ahhh it’s always so refreshing to watch a video with extremely professional editing and rock solid content, just a delight to the senses lmao

[@lonniewarren76]

Great video. I love racing games on Switch. I would recommend Rise Race the Future as well. It's got a pretty cool land to water element. 🤟

[@A_C_007]

Wow, some great games with excellent graphics! Didnt realize any of them were available, thanks for the video!

[@RasKetchum]

Definitely going to check out Horizon Chase Turbo and Fast RMX. Never heard of either but they look great. Thanks!

[@saysoun752]

Fast RMX is amazing. Horizon Chase Turbo is also great, especially for fans of old school racers. If I had to pick just one, I'd go with Fast RMX as it's great and it's also cheaper. The jet ski racing game is also good. I think I paid something like $2 for it because of an eshop sale.

[@carllavery4442]

Grid Autosport is the best realistic racer on Switch with a lot of visual options from 30fps high quality to a 60 fps mode and even a battery saver option for handheld all with an optional HD texture pack. Other than that are the arcade versions of Outrun and Virtua Racing through the Sega Ages lineup

[@thevideogamercade]

Absolutely love horizon chase turbo. Great multiplayer and the sound track is amazing also, keep the videos coming please kind sir

[@LUNCHMONEY4numbers]

Perfect timing! I just got a Switch and was curious if there were any good racing games. Riptide looks like so much damn fun!

[@DGoodhart]

Great recommendations and I gotta say, this video actually helped sell me a Switch a couple of weeks ago, so thank you very much! Racers I bought at the start- Fast RMX, Horizon Chase Turbo, Grip, WRC 8, V-Rally 4, and Virtual Racing and I’m enjoying them all.

[@JCorduroy]

Great video! Overlanders looks to be the Podracer game I've been needing for years!

[@irondiet6831]

Thanks for the video. Very helpful

[@hateeternalmaver]

There's just so much stuff on there a list might come in real handy, thanks MJR!

[@DauntlessDamian]

Here's a couple more that shouldn't be ignored. Virtua Racing Rally Rush 3 GRID WRC 8 V-Rally Outrun

[@TheActs2021]

What about Team Sonic Racing and Rise Race the Future?

[@TheGebs24]

Riptide GP Renegade looks immense. I’ve got some good ideas here dude, thank ya 🤙

[@bfcricky]

This video basically highlights the Switch’s severe lack of good racing games

[@grahamkelly8662]

BFC Ricky are you on drugs? The switch has some great racers.

[@grahamkelly8662]

carruthers100 I agree that switch has a lot of indie and free to play mobile like games. It is a bit annoying but I’ve actually started enjoying those types of games. I’ve got quite a lot of cheap really fun games on switch. For instance, I just bought Doom 93, doom 2 & doom 3 for less then £5 . Plus, switch does have a good amount of aaa, even if they are ports. Doom 2016, the Witcher 3 metro, etc.

[@DemoniteBL]

In general the switch has a severe lack of good games unfortunately.

[@sergioarturozayas-lopez684]

@@DemoniteBL The switch has plenty of great RPGs

[@DemoniteBL]

@@sergioarturozayas-lopez684 Some, not plenty I'd say. Though tastes differ ofc.

[@15jeovani]

Your videos are AWESOME MJR

[@tsunamirider9895]

Virtua Racing on Switch is pretty amazing. Looks amazing and runs at 60 fps. Also has an incredible 8 player split screen mode (and the other modes have customizable options for split screen depending on number of players, like horizontal and vertical orientations, 2 player tabletop mode where you face each other, etc) . All that's really missing is a local wireless mode (it has a 2 player online mode) for up to 8 players, and pro controller support for the multiplayer modes. Honorable mention goes to OutRun, which is amazing as well and offers 60fps (although my favorite version of this still has to be 3D OutRun on the 3DS which looks amazing in 3D). Both are fairly cheap and play great in both handheld and docked mode. Still waiting for Daytona, Daytona 2, SCUD Race and OutRunners to make it the Switch!

[@oscarpinillacastro5893]

I have played racing games since Enduro on the Atari 2600 and HORIZON CHASE TURBO is easily in my top 10 racing games of all time. The sense of speed is insane. So much fun!!!

[@sheahill6628]

Excellent video! I appreciate the suggestions.

[@deco983]

Great list ! Thanks!!

[@spaztekwarrior]

Great idea for a video. This subject always interests me!!

[@dylant32]

I've given up hope of a Fast RMX physical release. I've wanted a physical release of that game for so long.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Yes!

[@ZKL889]

Fast RMX is a sequel to the a previous Wii U game. It's great but difficult for me after some beginning stages.

[@nationharris]

@Darth Wheezius I bought the Wii U version 😅

[@jean-pierrejoubert6140]

I've been looking for one, too. It's a shame, because you really can't compare Wii U sales to Switch ... still hoping, even though it seems unlikely.

[@666JEDIMINDTRICKS666]

@Darth Wheezius Good job they're not as the physical copy I had on the Wii U froze at the same place every time.. Other people have experienced similar issues from what I've read.. Almost as bad as Lego games...

[@kuarapika]

Thanks Metal Jesus!, thanks to you i have a really fun time with Asphalt 9! and the best think is that is free, here in Argentina apreciate that! big hug!

Just got a switch yesterday, thanks for the vid needed it lol.

[@Itsfayd]

Bryan Smith I haven’t watched the full video but I highly recommend crash team racing. it’s more intense then Mario kart has a story mode and the online has grand prixs where you unlock skins, items and karts that you can only get for the time the Grand Prix is going on. it’s the second best online game for switch next to smash with online connection sucks on smash lol

[@ogkratos1179]

This vid was perfect for me because I just picked up a switch lite. I was just thinking to myself I wonder if they have good racing games. 😊 great vid man. Ty

Horizon is basically a Top Gear sequel. So fun!

Now all we need is an "all stars" cart racing game featuring lost and forgotten 8/16-bit characters: Bonk, Chuck Rock, Awesome Possum, Sparkster, Cool Spot, Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel, Kid Chameleon, Pocky & Rocky, Aero the Acrobat, Joe & Mac, Uncle Fester, Chuck D. Head (from DecapAttack), Chakan, and...wait for it...James Pond?! :D

Thank you. You Just did show the best racing games menu for switch.

[@g1nobleteam]

Maybe it's just me but that Asphalt game just felt tame for as over the top it's, though I had the same problem with the DS one as you might be going insanely fast, but it just felt limp in contrast to a Burnout to me.

[@NintendoChitChat]

I just picked up some racing games, great timing. Had a feeling this video would come too! I picked up Super Street: Racer, Horizon Chase Turbo, and got the most recent Monster Jam game, Steel Titans. It's a bit better then the last game in the series , Crush It. Great video again!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

I saw Super Street Racer in stores... I may have to check it out!

[@NintendoChitChat]

@@MetalJesusRocks we previewed it a little while back, and i saw it was available physically so picked it up. graphics are a bit bland however the features and game-play is pretty good. what got me is the ability to customize and build up your car in just about every aspect, from the engine parts, body, and even interior! So it seems like it would offer some solid long term value to make the best car you can for the races.

[@ChronikSpartan]

Absolutely love your racing recommendations mate!! GRIP is such a superb game, fantastic homage to Rollcage! The devs are awesome guys too.

[@julianx2rl]

It's sacriledge that Nickelodeon made it, *and not GRID Autosport* Which is one of the *very few* Switch games to support analog triggers control.

Trials Rising is also a great racing game on the Switch. It was on offer for only € 9,99 a few weeks ago and definitely worth the buy at that price. It also seems that Ubisoft regularly discounts their games in the eShop.

The Switch will be the next one :) Horizon Chase Turbo look really really sick !!!! Fast RMX also, i miss this title! Now that the handheld are so powerful and connect all the time i hope we can get competitive racing game like Trackmania, it's the type of racing game that we miss on console.

[@jasongillson6563]

There is one in the E-Shop called 198X. While not a 100% racing game, it does have racing levels. It's a 16 bit style game that's like Streets of Rage, R-Type and Rad Racer all rolled into one! Fantastic game and one every switch owner must have
