All-Star Fruit Racing Will Support Online Play On Nintendo Switch

I will definitely now concider purchasing it as I was originally interested.

Good luck to them and it's great they sorted online out.
Still going to be tough trying to compete with Mario.

I'll wait till Team Sonic Racing comes out

The thumbnail image looks just like a Wumpa Fruit. I guess we're getting Crash Team Racing HD after all, amirite?

(I don't know how well this joke will deliver on Nintendo Life. A lot of Crash bashers on this site )

No thanks, you had to get Epic to do your work for you... I'm sure online will be a mess.

Well, that's cool!

...wait, Epic? What would THEY know about online in Unity on Switch? ...to be fair, what WOULDN'T they know, it's their direct competitor as an engine dev.
So did Epic just help out with Unity, or did 3DClouds move the whole game to UE4 for the Switch version? The latter would seem a little excessive.

Team Sonic Racing for me.

@Pod it was in UE4 to start with

Dear writer of this article: Epic + Unity are completely different things. It's either that the game runs Unreal engine (and got help from Epic) or that Unity company helped them (if the game runs Unity engine).

Ha. Just as they said it couldnt be done

Ok. As someone already having Mario Kart 8, and still getting the occasional fun session from it, is there something that makes this new kart racer something special enough to warrant a purchase? I mean, kart racers have been around since a long while already, in many forms on many consoles, so unless it brings something truly new and interesting to the table, I don'T see what's special about it.
I admit I haven't done my research on this title. Name and screenshots I've seen so far weren't really appealing to me, so maybe I missed something?

At least they put in the extra work to make the game seem more appealing.

My Switch is hurting for a serious, traditional racing game.

@Not_Soos CTR is king

I'm with the people that rather just wait for Team Sonic Racing, this fruit one looks awful.

A fruit racer with online. Now you have me.

@RichardZ
Alright, that makes a lot more sense then. Was just confused by the article's mention of 3Dclouds blaming the Unity engine for online not being possible.

@Not_Soos I'd be up for a Crash Team Racing HD. Or perhaps a new entry entirely, just more like the original and not the PS2 CTF games.

They need to drop a promo vid for this game with updated info that online play will be allowed.

I think it looks fun, at least from the video on Steam. The reviews there are favourable enough to warrant a "positive" rating, with caveats. Awesome that the developer went the extra mile and made multiplayer possible on the Switch. It will help other smaller studios do the same!

My only concern would be that the game is in "early access" on Steam. Will it be ready for prime time on Switch? The updates from the developer say: "Our main focus remains on the Steam version of the game because we can gather precious feedback from the community, which is a very valuable resource for us!" The game has to be good enough to warrant online, you know?

Not a fan of fruit,now if it was All Star Vegetable Racing it would be a definite purchase for me.
