FAST Racing NEO was an accomplished effort on the Wii U eShop, so it was certainly good news when FAST RMX was confirmed for the Nintendo Switch. As explained to us in a recent interview with Shin'en, the studio has embraced the capabilities of the new system to expand and improve upon the original.
Coinciding with today's Nindie showcase, a flashy new trailer shows just what we can expect from the Switch eShop launch title, including footage of split-screen multiplayer and some new tracks.
This will certainly be among the most anticipated day one eShop titles - are you planning to pick it up?

These guys are seriously talented, looks so good.
I can't wait for 03/03 Zelda, fast RMX, bomberman, and shovel knight. Good launch line up for me.
This will definitely b my go to game when I need a break from zelda
Still unsure on this one, but my Switch is going to feel so empty on day one, I might just download it. Does it have Download Play?
Anyone any idea on the price for this game? UK prices if poss
I'm stoked for this one. Never played it on my WiiU but always wanted too.
@Marios-love-child http://fast.shinen.com/rmx/
19.99US$/24.99CA$
19.99€/16.99£/27.99AU$
@Marios-love-child The price is $19.99 for sure and I think they said £20 too.
@Marios-love-child $19.99. Cant find it in GBP, but I would imagine £17.99 (give or take a pound)
EDIT: Damn, beaten too it and with more reliable information. Soz
Notice the vehicle named: "Fulcon Capital" at 43 seconds. Easter egg or nah???
Does somebody know if we can play split screen online? Like in Mario Kart 8?
@Desy64 There is split screen right at 46 seconds.
Already have NEO, but I'll definitely get this for portable play and extra content.
@Nintendoforlife: Fulcon Capital is the name of the fictitious sponsor of the vehicle, as it was in FAST Racing NEO. My personal favorite. Ugly but so darn FAST.
Day One for me. My kind of game.
@617Sqn Switch RMX for Snippers and Bomber for I'm Setsuna and u have my.
@Nintendoforlife I've clocked over 50 hours in this game and I've never noticed that * facepalm *
@bluedogrulez Invert the word order of "Fulcon Capital" and change two letters.
Thank you to all that replied
Day one purchase me thinks
@Nintendoforlife I meant what I wrote: split screen, online playing, possible?
@Desy64 To answer your question yes it does appear possible to use Split Screeen. I do not believe online, but 8 player local link works.
@bluedogrulez Do you think it's an Easter egg, or just the name they came up with?
So just to be clear. This is exactly the same game as on wii u? But with all the dlc?
@Rockmirth No. New game from the ground up.
@Rockmirth with double the content
@Nintendoforlife: Ha! maybe...I always thought of it as more of an Occupy Wall Street thing.
I love this one, gave me the feeling of Fzero. So yeah day one for sure, these guys are really talented and should work with Nintendo on the next fzero. And top the speed of every fast racing game.
Mmmmm
@Nintendoforlife
Has to be a reference to Captain Falcon...come on now, its a total F-Zero rip off, in a very good way.
These guys always impress me.
Analogies:
Fast RMX : Fast
This Week : Slow
Fast RMX is my type of game. Never tried previous sequels so this will be a good and fresh welcome for the Switch. I'll purchase it as soon as I get my Switch set up at launch. Shin'en Multimedia definitely put a lot of work into this. Still hoping to see F-Zero to come out on Switch when Nintendo make their move on doing so.
@moon
No it does not feature download play, each person need a copy. But a lot of multiplayer options are already covered (2 persons with 1 switch, 1 joy-con each, local multiplayer up to 4, online up to 8)
I honestly think I will download it (and I downloaded the Wii U game AND DLC) as my first game to test the HD rumble
Ugh...I'm getting this but now I wish the Switch had its own mp3 music player so I can listen to my own tracks while racing.
@Manjushri Yes! Or even a simple mp3 player!
The DLC for this game was SO good. Had cylindrical track just like F-Zero... in fact the DLC was even better than the base game. And I hear they not only included all DLC but doubled the tracks as well with new content?
This is a no brainer. Deserves a physical release alongside Redout
A Wipeout clone. I'll wait on the Wipeout HD trilogy for PS4. For Switch, I hope to see some innovative racing games in the future.
Easiest way to ruin these types of games is to put obstacles on the course. It's the main reason F-Zero GX is the weakest F-Zero because these games are about holding speed as much as possible, not coming to a sudden halt because some stupid fan blade suddenly blocked your line, or hit by an asteroid as is the case on one course in RMX.
Neo was great. This is a day one purchase for me. I kept hoping Neo would get the Blue Falcon as DLC at some point so know I'll hope for it in RMX. If Nintendo doesn't plan on making another F-Zero and Shinen is keeping the FAST series Nintendo exclusive, why not let them use one car as a thanks.
i wish they allowed eshop pre-orders for games on a paltform that wasn't out yet.
I'm thinking about getting this so I have something else to play besides Zelda .
This game looks excellent. If I ever had a Switch, this would be the first game to buy.
Going to be exciting to hear probably soon what else are these guys working on. Superbly talented German magicians.
I'm definitely getting this. I'm really pleased it's become a launch title. The switch launch got really good really fast.
The Wii U game was great, the developers remind me of the glory days of Factor 5. Will double-dip with this RMX.
@Rockmirth @Emperor-Palpsy It's not a new game from the ground up but it does have more content than the Wii U version. All the Wii U tracks are there plus 6 more. I think they've adjusted the format as well, so hero mode is available sooner for example.
Day one buy!
I'm a bit bored of racing games (not Mario Kart).
LOL Fulcon Capital at 0:42
F-Zero reference
