Back in August, PM Studios and acttil announced they were teaming up with the developer VooFoo Studios to release a Nintendo Switch retail copy of the micro-racing game Mantis Burn Racing in North America.
If you remember the release date, it was scheduled to arrive on 12th December. We're now well and truly past this date, so what's going on? According to PM Studios, the physical version of the game has been cancelled in this region due to "external circumstances" out of the company's reach.
If you were eager to get your hands on this one, you can always opt with a digital copy or a Japanese copy, which includes English language support.
Mantis Burn Racing was released on the Switch eShop in 2017. When it arrived, we said it was an excellent multiplayer racing experience and yet another must-have title for the hybrid system.
Were you looking forward to adding this one to your collection? Comment down below.

I'm not surprised, the game came out a couple years ago, I doubt a physical version would have sold well.
I didn't even know about it.
Surely anyone who wanted it has bought it digitally? And if they’re like me they don’t think it’s very good anyway.
Oh no.. pretends to be shooked.
I’d have picked this up. Have it digital but prefer physical - will look out for a Japanese copy In the new year - not a urgent must have but nice for the collection
And yet another Christmas ruined.
@electrolite77 Played this for a short while after the glowing 10/10 review on this site. However it didn’t keep my attention for long. Didn’t help that the online MP was dead. I’ve been back a couple of times but really it’s a competent but rather dull top down racer. A solid 6 from me. Now if they did a sequel and concentrated on the fun factor it could work.
I was going to pick this up. I guess I'll get the Japanese Copy
Good riddance, that was an overrated launch game.
If you must have a physical copy, the Japanese physical release has been available for over a year and it supports English.

I like this game. I give it a 7/10.
Seems like an interesting game, too bad for a physical release but then again there's always Play-Asia with the multilanguage version anyways. I would pick this one up digitally but the $20 price tag push me away. May check it out if ever a sale happen.
I played this briefly, and thought it was very average. 5/10 for me. It got scraped in my digital dumpster - no point wasting resources on a physical version
I grabbed this game digitally when it was on sale. I was looking forward to the weapons update hoping it was going to give me some RC Pro Am Karnaaj Rally vibes. Nope. Kind of uneventful. Nice presentation though.
Bought this and Battle Princess Whatshername last time I was in Tokyo, just for the novelty of buying physical copies of non-Japanese games in Japan. Neither one was worth the $20.
