Get Ready to Race!

Hold onto your controllers, gamers! The highly anticipated Switch 2 has launched with an unexpected surprise: F-Zero GX is now part of Nintendo Switch Online. But for those craving a fresh racing challenge that evokes the spirit of F-Zero and Wipeout, look no further than Shin'en's exhilarating new game, Fast Fusion, available for just $14.99!

Turbocharged Gameplay!

Fast Fusion catapults you into the fast-paced world of sci-fi hovercraft racing at mind-boggling speeds. Gather coins to supercharge your boosts and navigate through dynamic boost zones scattered across the tracks. And here’s the twist: you can even send your opponents spinning out of control for a little extra coinage—it's as satisfying as it sounds!

Visually Stunning Racing Tracks!

Prepare to be dazzled! For the first time, the Switch 2 showcases stunning graphics that truly impress. Each track offers unique thrills—from rolling hills to tight turns, you'll feel every twist and turn as if you were on a roller coaster, blazing at breakneck speeds. Experience the wonder of racing across diverse settings, like dodging meteors in space or racing through a vibrant desert inhabited by whale-like creatures.

Compete Against AI, Dominate Locally!

Although the game lacks online multiplayer, you’ll be battling fiercely against computer opponents that present a solid challenge even on the easiest setting. But don't fret! As you get comfortable with the tracks, boosts, and shortcuts, you'll find yourself racing at a competitive pace. You don’t need to take first place to earn in-game currency, so get ready to unlock new tracks and vehicles without the usual pressure! Local multiplayer is also available, perfect for friendly competitions with friends!

Exciting New Modes!

If you're looking for something beyond classic racing cups, Fast Fusion has you covered. "Super Hero Mode" is a thrilling feature where you must avoid blowing up while simultaneously aiming for first place—your boost meter doubles as a shield meter! It’s a captivating risk-reward challenge that leaves you on the edge of your seat, and I hope future updates offer a full cup mode in this style!

Generic Vehicles, But Thrilling Gameplay!

While the vehicles themselves might not stand out creatively, with a somewhat generic design, players can fuse them together for improved performance. However, the differences between the options aren't particularly noticeable, which was a bit of a letdown.

A Great Placeholder Until F-Zero Returns!

While Fast Fusion isn’t a direct replacement for F-Zero, it definitely quenches that high-speed sci-fi racing thirst. With hopes for a new F-Zero in the future (sorry, F-Zero 99 doesn’t quite cut it!), for now, this gem on the Switch 2 offers a thrilling ride and a glimpse of what a new F-Zero could look like.

Fast Fusion Awaits!

Fast Fusion is now available on the Nintendo Switch 2, and it’s an adventure you simply can’t miss!
