FutureGrind Brings Colourful Flipping Fun To Nintendo Switch Later This Year

First of all, it doesn't actually seem to have much in common with Jet Set Radio aside from the railgrinding mechanics and maybe the setting. The whole flow of gameplay seems completely different from Jet Set.

Second, I seriously hope that Sega finally gets Jet Set on Switch sometime soon, if only so that we can stop with all the "Closest we'll get to Jet Set Radio on Switch" articles.

I am not trying to hate on the game before trying it out, but it feels like it will be better as a mobile only game. Don’t put stock on my words yet, though!

Yeah, this looks like an iOS trails game. Pass.

Eh.... I dunno. The action is a bit, how shall I say, lacking in spectacle. Or maybe, it’s just not a good trailer. I feel that’s a bit too early to hate on it, but my initial thoughts are “it looks like a futuristic take on Trials, minus said spectacle.” At this point, it’s a no. We’ll see if positive reviews change that.

This is nothing like Jet Set Radio. Play "Hover", it's great.

Reminds me of Unirally on the SNES somehow

Hmm

It looks pretty fun imo

@baller98 sorry I don't play online so I can't comment on that. But as a single player game Hover has grown and grown on me. Once you've upgraded your speed and jump a bit, you're pretty much flying around this huge, very vertical city. It a bit of a "joys and challenges of getting from A to B" type of experience.

As a port it can be a little rough around the edges - the worst is navigating the menus with a mouse cursor, and this weird 2-second delay between pressing pause and the game actually pausing. It's no 60fps experience either. But it's totally playable, the music is really cool and the neon soaked city is quite a playground. It's currently my go-to for a quick dose of zone-out, get-in-the-flow action.
