Upcoming arcade racer Speed 3: Grand Prix will be zooming onto Nintendo Switch later this year, it's been announced.
Set to be released both on the Switch eShop and at retail, Speed 3: Grand Prix has players jumping into Formula One-style cars for some explosive racing. We really mean 'explosive', too; you'll notice from the trailer above that cars explode on contact, offering a more arcade-like experience than, say, the official F1 2020 game available on other platforms.
We don't have a specific release date just yet, but we do know that the game is being developed and published by Lion Castle and will receive physical editions in all territories. We'll leave you with this official description:
Speed 3: Grand Prix challenges players to get on the circuit and become the best driver of all time! Pick your favorite car and make your way towards the first spot in all seasons. Conquer the tracks and take down the competition, as you race through American wastelands, tear up asphalt on the German circuit and drift through the neon-filled streets of Tokyo.
Speed 3: Grand Prix delivers an irresistible mix of high-speed track racing with explosive arcade action for Nintendo Switch! It will feature both singleplayer and split-screen multiplayer.

Is there a Crash Mode?
Looks cool. I will get this if it reviews moderately well.
There'll only ever be one Speed 3 in my mind, and that's the Father Ted episode.
looks cool, looks ultra relistic with the empty stands lol
Wireless local play please and thank you. Hopefully 900p+ 60fps
Hopefully it's not as bad as the movie before it
For an arcade focussed racer, the handling looks awfully twitchy and non-arcade like.
Is it better than speed 2: cruise control? For that matter, could it be as good as "The Bus that Couldn't Slow Down"?
From the same people who made the Super Street games, nah thats going to be a hard pass from me
This game has as director to Michael Bay?, XD
Hopefully 1080p and 60fps, but if it's something like 720p or even 600p and 60fps that would be better than 30fps and whatever resolution. And most importantly I hope it's a fun racing game with great control/physics (in my opinion everything from Rush Rally 3 to Grid to Burnout Paradise have great controls).
The game doesn't run half bad but the course are a bit bland though. Considering I didn't enjoy Super Street: Racer I may wait on the cheap for this one.
Why isn’t there an official F1 game on the Switch? I’m sure it could handle it 👍🏻😊
@VenomousAlbino maybe there'll be a milk float option with the second player driving around removing empty cardboard boxes off the track. Although the developers might find it hard to simulate a proper mass on a trailer.
@MattAllsopp You'd have to ask Feral Interactive about that... I'd guess they have first refusal, having done the Grid Autosport port for Switch, and the F1 ports for Mac and Linux.
I was interested until I heard "drift mode". Drifting ain't racing.
A Racer for Switch on the homepage, so was ready for disappointment... that did not take long 🙄
If you do not want to play F12020 like a sim, just go into settings and change them. Tons of options to make it into the racer you want to play if just for Story mode or local play.
@MattAllsopp no analogue triggers would not be an enjoyable experience playing an F1 simulator.
Really cool, I may get it. I already like it.
Those race cars don't seem very safe.
That trailer looked slapped together in 6 minutes. And that's me being generous.
Looks "not bad".
(I actually misread this as Speed Racer 3 for some reason. I actually played a fair bit of Speed Racer on the Wii for some passable fun)
@FlashmanHarry We put a brick on the accelerator!
@VenomousAlbino Ted I don't want to be a milkman anymore. People should stick to what they're good at and I'm good at being a priest.
