FAST RMX was one of our favourite Switch launch titles; it's pretty much everything we wanted from an F-Zero game, but without Captain Falcon and the gang.
The lovely folks over at Shin'en Multimedia just got in touch to let us know that there will be a "REMIX UPDATE" coming to FAST RMX at some point in September, which will add 6 new tracks and 2 new cups to play in the game.
The update will be entirely free. Along with this generous update the game will then also be available in the Japanese eShop for the first time, costing 2200 Yen.
We have to say it's great to see Shin'en Multimedia continuing to support FAST RMX in such a way. Now might be a good time to pick up this excellent racer if you haven't done so already.

F'in sweet! Love these guys.
If it also comes with a nice discount, I might pick it up.
I wanted to say "You got me at 'free' !"
But it's not true.
You got me at "gorgeous game I love playing".
I look forward to the update of Fast Racing Neo on Wii U. No? What do you mean, no?
I did not see this coming, hopefully it leads to the online being more active as that died down a lot when Mario Kart 8 Deluxe came out.
What about Wii U?!?!
That's a nice suprise. I haven't played it in a while, this is a good reason to boot it up again.
I won't mind hopping back into this for some new tracks.
this was the first game I got when I got my switch at launch, I have to admit I haven't played it in a long time but I will certainly get back in to it now with that great update!
I really should double dip on this game but I have it for Wii U.
Nice the new tracks are a welcome addition.
Oh heck yeah, I was not expecting this! I always love new tracks for this game!
I think this game is a very good complement to MK8D!
@Drac_Mazoku I think rubber banding was actually much worse in NEO than it is here at least from my experience. It's still not great here though.
@Drac_Mazoku I agree 100% with this. Thr AI is brutally unfair to the point the game just isnt fun in single player.
Probably like many, I loved this at launch. Sadly, the release of MK8 meant that it got shelved. Time to dust it off I think (can you actually dust off a digital game?).
I really liked the wii u version but as has been mentioned I think they tweaked the AI difficulty up a bit too much for the switch release, I lost interest with it after a while
They need to update the multiplayer so you can play with friends AND randoms, it's a basic feature that this game sorely lacks.
Nice! I bought it for Wii u, but I might have to buy it for Switch again with all the extra courses.
I can't wait! I really enjoy playing FAST on both Switch and Wii U. FAST RMX is on my TOP-5 Switch games (right after MK8 Deluxe, BotW and Splatoon 2).
Yay! More terrifying tracks to make my heart jump. Ready for more!
The download only is putting me off slightly, but I might just bite the bullet and buy Fast RMX like I did with Sonic Mania.
That's really neat.
Yay!
"LEGENDARY!"
My favorite racing game ever is F-Zero GX,and that was considered hard,but FAST RMX is by far more difficult because it really does seem unfair to the point that it is just not enjoyable. I've not played it in months so maybe there has been an update/patch to address this.If not then i believe it does need one
This is awesome news, can't say no to free contents especially from major game publisher such as Shin'en.
While they're at it, do something about the cheap/cheating AI in championship mode. Good lord, it's annoying. I haven't played in weeks because of it.
These guys are awesome. As a side note: I love how when you boost the volume it feels like you're playing Dreamcast-era arcade style.
The game looks interesting but the tidal wave of complaints about the AI and rubberbanding have kept me from buying it. If they decide to ever patch THAT, then I'll consider it. But right now a game needs to be more than pretty for me to drop money on it. I only own a Switch, after all.
Lov'n Shin'en!!
Sweet!! Now put out a retail version with all included?
Nice! Can't wait!
I'd love it if this were an F-Zero crossover thing. Give us some classic F-Zero tracks and the Blue Falcon as a playable vehicle. I can dream.
I keep hearing the AI is bad but I never noticed it myself. I've played all cups on every difficulty and there are 5 or so cups in total where I didn't get rank 1 on my first try. I personally like how the player who got first in one race can be in last place in the next race. In Mario Kart, the same AI is always first if you don't get the first place yourself.
EDIT: Forgot to say that I'm really happy we're getting more content and it's free too. They didn't have to do this. The game had enough content from the get-go.
Sweet! I really did not expect this! Go Shin'en!
Bonus! Terrific game.
Awesome! Really like this game!
@PlayedNSlayed I agree with this. I'm sure it's a lot of fun to play with a group of friends--no CPUs--but I haven't had the opportunity. In the meanwhile, it will probably largely go untouched, since I can never find more than one person in an online match.
Great game, nice to hear that they are giving it free content and support!
I wasn't going to get it on switch because I already have Neo on Wii U but since they went ahead and did this update I think I'll get it on switch now
@pixel_jones ha, sorry, but you won't be getting much in the way of Wii U support anymore.
Nice! Not a perfect game, but a very good one. Stoked about the new update as I 100%'ed it a while back and could use a reason to get back into it.
this is my favorite switch game. THERE I SAID IT! mario kart is a close second.
i got forza horizon 3 complete edition for an obscene amount of money (for a game). then a few months later, it turns out that it wasn't all that complete as there were two expansions coming. then a week or so ago, it turns out there's also a car pack that wasn't included in that 'complete' edition and probably more to come.
then you have devs like shin'en and yacht club that reward the players for the success of their games instead of demanding more money for us like we were junkies or something. these guys are good eggs. great support above and beyond, and all from great games. major props to them.
@Morph wait, I heard the Switch version was easier. Is that not true? maybe I should go back and get the Wii U version instead
@Marshi So wait, its not that I'm missing or not timing the boost right and the a.i. actually isn't fixed!
"worst rubberbanding ever" seems a little extreme considering i'm not very good at racing games and i do okay in this.
This news made me go back to the game. I hope I'll be fast enough to complete it before the new tracks come in !
