I’m always keeping an eye on those Nindies. Indie and third-party support for Nintendo going into the future is going to play a major role in the success of the NX and future handhelds, and everyone knows that. The Wii and the Wii U both suffered from a lack of third-party love, but lately Nintendo has done a great job of reaching out to developers and really celebrating the games they’re making. One of those developers is Shin’en, and its futuristic racer Fast Racing NEO finally has a release date and price.
For just $15, you can pick up probably the most anticipated racing game on the Wii U since Mario Kart 8. Fast Racing NEO is said to exist in the same spiritual vein as F-Zero , and since we never got a real F-Zero for the Wii U, this is the next best thing. The game looks incredible, and as I’ve watched videos over the months it’s always looked marginally better each time; Shin’en has really put a lot of heart into this. If you’re feeling the need for speed on your Wii U, pick it up from the eShop on December 10. Check out the trailer – as the logo burst onscreen at the end in sync with that climaxing techno music I was literally fist-pounding my desk in excitement:
