Video: We Get To Grips With F-Zero Inspired New Nintendo 3DS Racer Lifespeed

This looks much more reminiscent to the AiRace games on 3DS, except more arcade-y. I don't see much F-Zero in there, though, and it might be a bad move to compare this to the cyberpunk racing king to begin with.

I tried Lifespeed out at London MCM and was pleasantly surprised by it (even though I managed to glitch out of the track, though it was an warly build so I basically ended up being a Tester!)

Hipe to pick it up on release. It definetely felt like a sort of Starfox racer as you could move in multiple directions yet you were constantly moving forward (though you can accelerate & decelerate) plus use boost rings.

Looks ace, the 3D should be stunning for a game like this. Hope the gameplay holds up, looking forward the NL review when it lands.

Nice. Gimme gimme now lol

only for new 3DS?

It seems like the New 3DS has been getting some mare exclusives lately, hopefully this stream of them continues,

Ya it's looking good. Keeping my eye out for this one

This looks great, looking forward to it and another reason that justifies my New 3DS purchase back in February (really only the faster loading times in Smash and Codename STEAM's camera control has been made the New 3DS worth owning before this).

Interesting to me at least. I'll keep an eye out.

Looks decent. Still haven't got myself a New 3DS, but XC3D is tempting and if more indie exclusives like these were coming (I guess it would with Unity support), it could justify a purchase.

It's great to see local developers getting some attention and this game is right up my street being a huge fan of Wipeout, F-Zero and Starfox!
Hoping this is going to be a great first success for Weeman Studios.

First the Binding of Isaac and now this?! God, there's not even a single unit of New 3DS in my country! Also, money... sad.

Was Alex flirting a bit there??? ;-P

looks really nice

@Chaoz @6ch6ris6 Even though eveywhere says it's only for New 3DS I thingk the devs mightbe bringing bring it out on original 3DS.

I played it at the Gaming Night and was chatting to the person showing it off, who was the wife of the developer, and I surgested using the New 3DS C-stick as a way to give some extra control to the weapons which are indepentent to the craft control. She said that one of the reasons for not is becuase most people don't have the C-Stick,or Circle ProPad.

This would surgest it being on original 3DS aswell. Again not confirmed but it would surgest.

But that aside it was fun to play and easy to control and feels more like corridor sections of StarFox as you have control over elovation aswell as side-to-side but within a narrow space.

@GauBan It was nice to meet you last week! It seems there was a little communication breakdown though!

Lifespeed definitely won't be coming out on the normal 3DS.

The reason why we hadn't implemented anything on the C stick is that there is already a lot going on in the game and most people wouldn't be able to cope with an extra control. However, your idea was solid and we will take it into consideration.

Aaand another game that I'd like to play once I get a 3DS (someday). The thing is, I was planning on buying a used (old) 3DS... now I have to consider buying a New 3DS... well but it's not like I'll buy it soon. ^^

@WeeManStudios yeah it was great to talk to you to, thanks for clering that up. Good job I have a New 3DS then.
