The texture quality is rubbish, but that's not unusual for remakes from this era. In my mind, I feel like I remember the sense of speed feeling slower on this game because of the lower framerate, but it runs smoothly and feels fast.

I have a lot of nostalgia for this game. To be honest, I still have a lot of nostalgia for Episode One - I don't think I could watch it and enjoy it now, but I was ten when I saw it and I thought it was incredibly cool. I played the game a ton and it was one of my favourite N64 racers. I only had an N64 (and played PC games), so I feel like I got used to slower framerates in racing games - Extreme-G and Diddy Kong Racing are both games that I loved, but in hindsight I can actually remember them feeling slower. I don't know how long the nostalgia will last, but having a portable version of a game that is near and dear to my heart is a nice, warm, fuzzy feeling, especially since I had no idea that a remake was in the works.

It's £12.29 on Switch, which is probably a bit too expensive if you don't have the nostalgia for the game, but if you're an N64 kid like I am I'd recommend checking it out. Now we just need to start the petition for an Extreme-G remake, right? And also, why hasn't there been a new F-Zero game in forever? F-Zero X was just about the only racing game on N64 that DID have a good framerate and sense of speed, and it's probably the best of the bunch even if it's not my favourite.

I bought it on PS4 from Limited Run just to have a boxed copy to look at. Good to know the switch port is fun. I'd really like to know how the motion controls on this game feel. I played the arcade version before and having a home version with similar controls would be very nice!

Yeah, dude! Blasted through the Switch port and loved every second. Shocked at how well the framerate holds up.

This is good to hear! This is the one racing game I ever really liked, mostly because of the Star Wars aesthetic. I just don't about cars; they do nothing for me. I might have to grab this at some point.

sounds like a nice pickup in a sale. I do love racing games on Switch and have some nostalgia, but the price is just a tad too steep. glad to hear they did it justice. what I’d really like is a racer revenge port, that game had some really fun tracks.

I know you're talking a port specific to Switch, but there is a Racer Revenge port available on PS4 via the PSN Classics program.

@inevpatoria: yup, I picked that up already. Would just love to have it portable ;)

Played through the whole thing over the last week. It's fun! I find the framerate chugs in portable mode at the beginning when all the racers are on screen at once, but mostly solid performance.
