Club- Join the Asphalt 9 SwitchUp Club in game - search SwitchUp or SwitchUpM Hi guys - this review is for the PAID version that was available prior to launch. I might sound like i dislike the free to play model quite a bit...uhhmmm but I’ve tried to give a fair an accurate representation here. Let me know what you think of this one and check out GRID which is definitely a full featured racer without any extra...coins. GRid Review is here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/naSxkKiafbJgj6s . Thanks for watching as always we read EVERY comment. Patreons I’ll be announcing the winner by FRIDAY at the latest! Mark

[@hansgruber9457]

Nice objective review, keep up the good work! I really dislike ingame purchases with real money in general and especially in console games. If this would cost 10 € and asked me to unlock the vehicles by playing the game a reasonable amount of time, I would be sold. Basically like all older racers before the internet conquered consoles. But this model just screams 'we prey on the weak to be too impatient not to spend real money' which is shady as shit. Having to refuel? Oh boy...

[@andrewcameron7383]

[@alphatax2000]

I was really hoping they’d remove the fuel system for the Switch version, that’s a real turnoff for a console game. I’ll give this game a try eventually seeing how it’s a free game but I’m not in a rush.

[@TwisteeTheDefiant1]

It actually doesn't cost much tokens to skip that process seeing as you can easily get tokens from race challenges I was shocked about that part I thought you'd have to pay like 100 tokens just to refill it. 😂

I gotta say this is really fun to play. I love how there single player modes in it along with the multiplayer. Grinding for cash and the premium currency can be somewhat of a problem but despite that I still feel this game is good. Also the graphics are in my opinion the best on the switch

[@bigdgaff]

I wouldn't really call it a paid version. It seems more like one of the standard introductory packs offered at the start of an F2P to get you invested in the microtransactions just bolted to the front of the game. I don't like pay to skip mechanics in general because they are the "solution" to a grinding problem that was deliberately engineered into the game in the first place. I'm tired of F2P store-fronts with incidental gameplay attached after being stung in the past for hundreds of pounds and will be sticking with real games from now on.

The progression system is quite intense! Thanks for all the details!

[@VortymLichbane]

I recall deleting Asphalt from my mobile/tablet because of all the free to play stuff you mentioned. The racing itself is good but all the junk outside of that is a huge turn off. I just want to choose a car, choose a track and have a race.

[@samuelisaza2695]

That’s the same problem I have with Asphalt, I played a LOT of Asphalt 8 in the past and although I love the gameplay, not even after playing daily for almost 2 years I was able to get an A class car, and in this games is even harder to get cars thanks to the blueprints and the fuel system . The game is excellent and the graphics are beautiful but the free to play stuff makes it an unbearable game! If Gameloft rereleased this game at 60 dollars but removing all this awful free to play stuff, it would be an ideal game but you know, business be business.

[@teddysadcat]

Android version veteran here, and the scene here is mad skilled, who knew a freemium game has so much depth in its driving mechanics you know what the pro players are doing. Seriously, go look up some of those best runs right here and YT, this game is something special, dare I say potentially legendary, if it weren't for its freemium and eventually *brutal* pay-to-play future

Great review as always. I totally agree that Gameloft SHOULD strip all F2P aspects, especially that fuel/timer element. Hate them to the bone.

I'm so glad this came out because it performs like shit on my smart devices and I love the gameplay. This runs and looks so much better on the Switch than anything I can run it on other than my pc.

Great review, Mark! This looks like a solid port. I d/l the f2p version on my iPad when it first came out and while the game itself is fun, the constant monetization makes playing a real chore.

Great review Mark.. Navigating this one must have been tough. (And my thoughts are well documented on this business model) Basically i feel like this... if gameloft had made a full price £49.99 Asphalt 9 with everything in one price, i think they would have probably the best racer on switch. But they haven't. And it actually makes me want to purchase GRID just to support full priced racers so they make more. EDIT: I been writing this whilst listening to your narration...and you just echoed what i said above about a full version. We are on the same wave length and that means your review for me is fair... Nice one as always, you got balls of steel reviewing this one pal....

The cars are way to "floaty" in my opinion. But I was never a big fan of hardcore Arcady stuff. I really dislike the freemium bullshit. The game will end up costing you probably quite a lot to get to the good stuff. Again, I was never into f2p games like these on phones or so. I stick with Grid.

[@9255223]

basti329 I downloaded it a day early so that I would race a few tracks on weeknights in between more serious games or as a way to unlock stuff after coming home from work, but honestly, I’ve had enough of freemium-based games myself. As far as iOS games are concerned, I removed all of the free/freemium ones as the paid games feel and play better. That said, I DL’ed Asphalt 9 as also an experiment - if this game works out I may clear some room for Warframe...maybe.

Gameplay tips from a mobile veteran: all nitro above yellow ignores the slowdown of dirt or grass, nitro level affects also turn radius and it hugely affects air speed. Pressing brake in the air can save you from dying by half turn roll, but sometimes doing nothing is better. Also killing car from the rear makes you a lot slower, avoid where possible. Useless drift will lose a lot of speed so only use for big turns to shockwave out

[@Bambeakz]

As a "simracer" i don't have problems with arcade racers. I have a problem with the 360 slide though. I have no clue how that makes the game better and it looks so Fanta that it holds me off to even try this game.

Agree with every point raised in this review. Got it on mobile and loved the look and arcade feel but some races were too short and I absolutely detest the nickle and dime scheme. I had to abandon it after realizing I'd need to spend money to progress fairly. And it isn't like you'd pay a one-time fee. The game really tries to milk every dime out of you

[@atroniac5703]

As a fully f2p player of this game I can provide some small insight. I haven't run into too much grinding, you can progress throughout at least the first chapter of the campaign without pretty much any grinding. Both types of currency are relatively easy to earn too. Your progress does slow down as your cars get higher upgrade levels but besides that it's great. Fully agree with the 16/20 rating

the switch version of A9 does feel abit cleaner in terms of ads but the artificial barriers created to put you on the edge of spending real money as well as to limit the speed with which you progress are frustrating at times. you can grind progress bit by bit. my advice is dont rush yourself else you will be very frustrated just enjoy A9 for what it is, its just a game at the end of the day for most of us normal folk who are not Esports gamers with some high stakes on the line. nonetheless the core game itself is on point asphalt 9 is great on the switch. if only it was a full game like horizon chase turbo with out the caveats of F2P. i do give it a recommendation

I think anyone interested should get it and use it as something nice and casual to play in between other games. Flick onto it, do a few races to pass a little time and then onto the next thing. Treat it like that and you'll get a plentiful experience out of it for free. Just consider what you are getting for free when you really think about the game and visuals. So don't be so upbeat about them trying to get their money off you.

[@FutureAlien]

As much as I'd love a Burnout experience on Switch, I have a personal "No freemium" rule, so I'll be passing on this one - I'd much prefer they'd remaster the old Burnout games. PS: Mark, you mentioned "the old Burnout games [...] from back on PlayStation" - the first two were also released on GameCube, which is where I remember them from! They were great games and also great showcases for the RenderWare engine.

[@nashineworks8318]

I mean the in game currency is really easy to earn and I like that when you play multiplayer matches it actually gives you a chance to open a pack of car cards it kind of gives you something to strive for while playing online matches. My literal only complaint is that I hate that this game isn’t generous as much as a free to play Consol game should be there’s like only two cars you could unlock and a possible third car and that’s it that’s literally all the three cars I always see online and I really hate that not to mention that in past games like asphalt eight you could unlock decals that would make your car look so freaking cool with crazy designs and stuff But in asphalt 9 you barely have any cool looking decals just a bunch of different colors which I like but if anything I would like there to be more generosity with opening packs because as of right now I’m already going kind of stale of how unexpressive and different you can be compared to online people when it comes to cars in the decals on your car etc etc.

[@timexdistance1615]

[@stapuft]

The only thing I dont like about this game is how little is available in offline mode, but the fact they included it at all is amazing. Also they actually make the free to play part not bad, each car has it's own fuel, they could have lumped them all together under one fuel system, the way they did it though you can just switch cars and keep playing. As well as the fact that everything can be earned through actually playing the game. I've played this game for a long time on mobile and have to disagree, they never make you buy anything, and there really isn't a slog to earn stuff, you just have to play the events and the career, and the career is really easy to 100% with only racing each race once or twice.

How do u log in to ur account in asphalt 9 switch?

You really don't need to spend any real money to unlock cars in this game. Already have 46 cars unlocked with $0 spent, not even a dime

[@discodinosormusic535]

Its a fun racer but oh my fucking god the level recommendations is so fucking in needed I can't get past some of the races because I'm lower than the recommendation so its almost as if the cars beat you no matter how good you are

[@SwitchUpYt]

Yeah! Almost like a pay gate...

[@Cissero]

Still patiently waiting for Grid to get on a discount. OT: This seems like a great game for people with a bit less cash. Does feel too much like a pay to win game for me though, so I'm not going to download it unless the GF wants to give it a shot.

I would love to pay $20-40 and then get the microtransactions removed. It kinda ruins the fun knowing that the Lamborghini i just grinded my ass of for can be bought for $10.

It’s the mobile game with split screen but has worse ways to unlock cars then 8 and has a slightly worse soundtrack then 8 which has an amazing soundtrack

[@chrischupp9760]

Think I need a Switch love the Asphalt games. Asphalt 8 should be on this platform

[@ChilisauLP]

Can you carry over the progress from mobile?

[@irawanadinugraha1527]

Nope, i tried it didnt work :/

[@danieltirino615]

Not so much of a racing game player but it looks like a fun game, still kinda look like a mobile game but with nicer graphics, well guess if you think of the free version it is worth the trouble, always thinking of the core game play, in this case looks good enough

[@mouadtalbi4170]

it's originally a mobile game ported to switch 😂 with same graphics too

[@DannyThePhantom]

I like this game because of the grinding. personally I don't mind the refuel.

[@xelthos2051]

I would love to see some Cruisin USA and World on the switch. The push for Mobil games on the switch isn't for me. Same reason I wont get any kemco games on switch, they are just better mobile.
