We hope you're feeling ready to get your drift on, because twin-stick arcade racer Inertial Drift is speeding onto a Switch near you this August.
You'll be able to get your hands on it from the 7th of that month, when it'll release both digitally on the Switch eShop and in physical form, too. The box art is looking pretty swish, isn't it?
Here's a feature list:
Twin-stick drifting!
Twice the controls, twice the control! A completely new level of precision allows for drifts a hair's breadth away from the crash barrier, making every turn intense!
90s Retro-Future setting!
20 tracks, flooded by the lights of pink Japanese sunset and vibrant neon-cities, set the stage for thrilling chases!Intense 1-on-1 racing!
Scaling the races down to duels adds excitement to every face-off. Put your name on the leaderboards by challenging players both online and offline or practice with ghosts and AI opponents!16 different driving styles!
Every car in Inertial Drift is electric and has a unique driving style! Pick your favourite technique or master all of them to become the ultimate racer!

As far as I'm concerned the arcadier the racer the better, so the ridiculousness that is that twin stick control scheme looks awesome.
Not to be confused with Initial D, I'm sure.
The game seems empty and soulless to me. The drifting seems nice and the game had a nice (not special but nice) art style.
To me it seems like it’s missing an identity or something. I’m looking for a arcade driving game but this does just does not make my list.
@RupeeClock just need Sega to bring one of their Initial D arcade games over to Switch. . . .
@BrintaPap How much "identity" do you want it to have? To me, this just oozes style and identity, and I'm quite interested in trying this out. But then again: tastes differ, so that's alright.
As for looking for arcade racers: there's plenty of them on the Switch, but obviously the amount of interesting options will vary, depending on which ones you already own.
Either way, here's a good list:
Looks cool. How much is it
Well... that's different.
It's about time Namco brought back Ridge Racer.
A game that finally takes advantage of the joycon drift feature!!
I hope theres a demo. Love the colors. Reminds of Blur.
@PhilKenSebben Dang man i'd love to see remake/remaster of Blur. One of the best racing games I have ever played.
@ThanosReXXX Maybe I put it down the wrong way.
Also I own/played several of the games you listed. Have not played them all but from the one's I do Team Sonic Racing is the most boring one. Dont dislike FAST RMX but it just does not click with me. Got a few others on my ps4 like horizon.
I think Inertial Drift looks like one the of the most intresting racing (gameplay wise) games these days but I just dont like the UI, to be honest it looks really simple/old and far from stylish to me, and from what I have seen from footage boring worlds/enviorments.
@The-Snarfer comment of the day!
This seems pretty cool to me. Really wanna try it out. Hope it’s online 1v1
@BrintaPap You don't like FAST RMX? So, you're not really into futuristic racers, then? And which ones from my list do you own? Perhaps I can still recommend you some that you don't own yet.
Drift mechanic is interesting... based on the trailer, there doesn't seem to be much variety in the race courses.
The twin stick controls sound interesting. I'll definitely grab a physical copy once it comes out.
Looks decent enough. If it ever came to plus I'd give it a go, though definitely good to have more racers on the Switch!
The twin stick control scheme is like Redout. Man, i love that game for PC, too bad the Switch version was a bit naff.... I'm excited for this one!
It looks all right, but I'm already tired of that screeching tire noise after 60 seconds.
@RupeeClock I'm currently watching Initial D at the moment (4th stage), and I really hope this has fun gameplay because I would love to drift some mountain passes thinking I'm driving that 86.
Meh, can't really see how drifting can possibly benefit from twin stick controls. Maybe they can put out a demo to sell the concept.
Nope, Nope, Nope
Does the physical copy have the same release date?
Best buy says Dec 31
