Re: Review: Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled - A Karting Treat For Fans And Newcomers Alike

This is a fantastic game and I’m confused why so many are turning it down for 30fps and online only rewards. Wifi is not a difficult thing to find these days and despite the 30fps lock this game looks, feels, and plays great on the switch. Limiting yourself from this great karting experience for those reasons seems very silly to me. The power slide mechanic is complex and takes a lot of patience and practice to get right but once you do I would say its even slightly more rewarding than perfecting mario kart 8’s techniques.

All this being said, the wumpa coin rewards for online are very inconsistent and discouraging for newcomers. From what I can understand you get awarded coins depending on how many people finish with you in the 30 second time cut-off starting when the first place winner crosses the finish line. This means if I have a really sizeable lead in first I can be awarded a huge amount of coins but my competitors won’t even get to finish the race. This also means that if I’m in a really close race and many players finish right after me I can get awarded little to no coins even if I do get first place. This needs to be reworked and patched for sure, but with the frequency we’ve been receiving updates since launch I have no doubt they will find us a solution soon..
fingers crossed

I hate to say it for fear of backlash but the original version of this game may be my favorite racing game of all time (including mk8) and its definitely a contender for all time favorite game in general. Its great to hear they are taking a bit of extra care with this remaster and I really hope the mechanics mirror the original because they honestly still hold up to this day.
