The Super Toy Cars series is back with the release of Super Toy Cars 2, zooming onto a Switch near you next week.
The game is a fast-paced arcade racer which has you controlling miniature cars around tracks made up of everyday objects. You'll be racing your toys cars in either single-player or with friends, speeding past opponents or smashing into them as you drive past sausages, scissors, and whatever else the developers have decided to throw at you.
If you're thinking it all looks a lot like Micro Machines, you'd be absolutely right. We likened the original Super Toy Cars to the miniature racing classic in our review a couple of years ago - here's hoping this new sequel can improve upon the first release:
"Super Toy Cars is a decent enough tabletop racer that will have fans of the classics like Micro Machines taking a quick nostalgic trip down memory lane, but it never manages to live up to the games from which it clearly takes its inspiration. You’ll get some fun out of throwing your car around the cute tracks, but the temperamental physics and inaccurate contact between your car and its surroundings has the potential to frustrate players before that happens."
The team says that they've "kept what worked from the original, fixed what didn't and added lots of new content," so hopefully this second attempt will be just what we were after. Here's a feature list for the new game:
Features:
- 20 different cars in 5 different vehicle classes
- 16 different tracks
- A 6-8 hour career mode where you unlock a lot of new liveries for your cars
-Up to 2 players local multiplayer
- High quality soundtrack featuring a diverse selection of indie bands and DJs
It launches on Switch on 12th June and will receive a 20% discount (taking it to $11.99) during its pre-purchase period and for a limited time after launch.

Could be fun... Hopefully it is executed well.
Not a big fan of racing games, but if the reviews are solid I’ll give it a go.
If it's controlling well, it looks decent enough to pick it up!
Getting some "Blur" vibes. Man I'd love to have Blur 2...
This might be fun. The price is worth a shot, even it is something I just pick up once in awhile.
@ArtiomNLS I never enjoyed rocket league. 🤷♂️ To each his own
@ArtiomNLS besides both having vehicles, I fail to see the comparison. Ones a racer, and ones a sport.
@article Sure hope this one is good. Never ceases to amaze me, how few decent MM style games there are these days. If there even is a few good ones.
I would love to see a remaster of Micro Machines V4 come to Switch.
Super Toy Cars 2, I'm not sure about. Good trailer though
Only 2 players? Isn’t that a step backwards?
@Apportal_SMM2 Same here! I just couldn't get into Rocket League, but I loved Micro Machines back on the NES. Hopefully this sequel fixes the controls of the original.
I hope they made the starter cars faster. I have on Wii U and that's my biggest complaint. It's not fun until it start to get faster.
I wish they would just port Toybox Turbos to the Switch. Been playing that on Xbox One then last few days and it's basically Micro Machines without the name.
Looks better than the first. If you can select a few different camera angles I'm game.
