Two DSiWare releases that we rather enjoyed were AiRace and AiRace Tunnel, and with that in mind we're certainly pleased to hear about AiRace Speed from QubicGames.
Due on the 3DS eShop "late summer", which could mean in the next few weeks, this high-speed flying game will cost $4.99 in North America and €4.99 / £4.49 in Europe. The basic idea is to fly powerful jets through 18 tracks full of obstacles and secret exits; there'll also be online leaderboards and achievements to take on. The developer is emphasizing smooth controls and tricky challenges in its sales pitch, while we simply hope it takes the good work of its predecessors and makes further progress for the franchise.
We'll be keeping out eyes peeled for this one. Check out the rather flashy cinematic trailer below and let us know if it's on your wishlist.

Was hoping for some gameplay on that video, but looks good in concept, love me some air racing.
The screenshot reminds me of that Splash and Crash game... with an airplane.
Well, if the first two games in the series were good, should mean this one will be as well. Looks promising, and $5 is a great price.
No gameplay.
Pointless video.
Waste of however many seconds I spent watching it.
dsi game was quite good. but it kinda had graphical limitations.
now the 3ds game looks like it wil be even better
I've been following this for a while and I'm really looking forward to it! I really like AiRace Tunnel, but I wasn't a big fan of AiRace, so I'm glad this is more like Tunnel. I'll definitely get this when it comes out!
The first two games were really cool. Always wanted them to be a bit faster, so hope this one is going to be a progression in the right direction. Hay, for under a skin diver and some change left for a can on pop, I would buy tomorrow. Has anyone seen any real gameplay for this release?
So glad it's finally coming out. I've been looking forward to this game forever!
Well that was useless...
Typical CGI intro film. Be interesting to see the final project, especially since the DSiWare AiRace games were really good fun. Hopefully Qubic delivers another good entry into the series.
Judging from that screenshot alone I am going to keep my eye on this one. I'm always on the lookout for something quick and fun on my XL.
This one is a must buy.
tron. cgi. no info. looks good?
I can assume it's Airace tunnel 2, I enjoyed the first one but I hope this one will have a endless mode like the last one.
for 5 bucks im in! =)
5 bucks for an F-Zero-style racer with 18 different tracks AND leaderboards?!
Dude, this is going to be one hell of a deal!
Looks cool. The DsiWare Airace was fun.
Awesome! The DSi game was brilliant but ugly as all hell haha. Can't wait to see how much better it looks on the 3DS
Need to buy Tunnel first, I already own AiRace.
I actually spent more time on AIRace than I did on Mariokart 7 - can't wait for the sequel!
@Kaze_Memaryu It's not really F-Zero style. You fly around in planes.
@Shadowflash Oh, I see! Well, THAT might actually hold me off...
As many other commenters said, I don't have much use for trailers with zero frames of actual in-game footage.
