The 3DS eShop has had a handful of games that focus on racing at high speed, and New 3DS exclusive Lifespeed will aim to stand out in that group. The work of UK developer Wee Man Studios, it's been in the pipeline since 2015.
It's now just around the corner, though, with the developer confirming a target of early February for the release; a new launch trailer has been published to celebrate the news.
It'll be interesting to see whether this gets up to full speed when it lands on the New 3DS eShop; are you going to keep an eye out for this one?

I've actually never heard of this game before. Looks pretty cool for a 3DS game, though. Hopefully it turns out well.
Off topic, but I just changed my profile picture. Just thought I'd mention that so no one thinks I'm new.
This doesnt look half bad! Price is all we need.
I don't know if this holds the comparison with Fast RMX on Switch. It might only sell among those who will stick with the New3DS.
It's like... Star Fox meets F-Zero.
I'm intrigued.
Looks like it might be decent hopefully it has online multi-player and leaderboards in the bag as well .
I like it, has a nice Extreme-G feel to it, could be great.
Reminds me of the Air race series. (AiRace?) Anyways, not too interested, but I won't decide until I see the price
....should be fun, seems like a better looking version of the AiRace Xeno/Speed games..
..it should have similar pricing, I hope...
Hopefully it runs in 60fps 3D, unlike this trailer, but looks promising...sorta like the flying levels in Diddy Kong Racing
Wipeout with a bad soundtrack?
Reminds me of that futuristic racer on the PlayStation (I'm drawing a blank on the name of it though). Hopefully it lives up to the trailer.
Nice music... Reminds me of Mario's invincibility jingle.
@millarrp Wipeout
@Link506 My thought exactly.
Price will be key with me and making a purchase. I have had my fill of that kind of racing game already, and just watching the trailer didn't leave me with hype, it brought back the sour taste in my mouth from the repetition in those games.
@wiggleronacid thank you!
@Hikingguy thanks
@Spoony_Tech it's cheap! £4.99 UK, $5.99 US and €5.99
@JaxonH thanks, just some of our inspirations, hopefully it holds up as it's own game too!
@Romeo-75 online leaderboards only unfortunately, even that was a total pain to get implemented!
@Flauber thanks
@Link506 cheap! £4.99, €5.99 and $5.99
@SH007ME thank you
@millarrp if you like the trailer I'm pretty confident you will like the game .
@CrazyMetroid thank you
@allav866 thanks, the music was actually created by a talented local student from Belfast.
@Knuckles we do hope to bring you something a little different with Lifespeed. Plus it's a bargain!
@WeeManStudios It's looking good so far! Does the game have local multiplayer? Download Play? Keep it up! If it's got Download Play it's a day one purchase for a fiver.
@Link506 My thoughts exactly. It looks very similar to Airace... but in this game you actually race against other racers, not just the clock!
@Moon Hi, Its an eshop only game (is that what you mean by download play?). No local multiplayer unfortunately, would have been nice but we only have one coder so just tried to get the single player game working as well as possible with our limited resources!
@WeeManStudios for me thats the most important one personaly I love score and best time chasing and it gives a game endless replay value thanks for the response now this is a day one purchase for me .
@Romeo-75 Thank you hope you like it!
@millarrp You're thinking of Wipeout.
So, this is filling that F-Zero/Wipeout clone space nobody's been filling all these years?
Looks kinda cool: A bit like a cross between WipEout and the plane racing in Diddy Kong Racing.
Well it has to be asked ...... will it be coming to Switch ?
@BrokenDpadGamer @ClampedDownHard that's the one. Thank you.
Looks like a mix of F-zero and Wipeout, could be promising/
@WeeManStudios SOLD! i'll download on day 1.
(please make that day come soon)
Looks amazing!
@CharlieSmile great! Thanks very much. February is very close now.
@daggdroppen thanks
@617Sqn not saying no, need to see what the situation is when they release the dev kits for general lowly Indies .
@Spoony_Tech it better have stereoscopic 3D as well. If so I will download it. We are definitely short on Racing titles. I was hoping for a Rally type of game but I'm not paying 34.99 to download that one in the Eshop. If it ever gets a 50℅ sale then maybe
@Hikingguy Thank you! We really appreciate it, I hope you like the game . Nintendo Life will be kept up to date so it should be appearing here very shortly.
@Windy yes it has spectroscopic 3D, we think it looks really cool when flying down tunnel!
@WeeManStudios thanks so much for the info. I look forward to it.
@WeeManStudios Good PR makes a world of difference. You've got a sale, and I agree, 5.99 is a good price.
@Knuckles great! Thanks very much, we are just passionate about Lifespeed and trying to muddle through the PR bit.
