This made me realize how there aren’t many modern-retro racing games. In a market full of indie RPGs, rogue likes, platformers, etc, this feels really refreshing to see
there are a handful of retro racers available on the nintendo switch that are worth owning. the gentlemen at switch up informed me of almost all of them. at the end of this comment I will provide a comprehensive list. first I must inform you that the term you are looking for when you call games roguelikes is rogue-lite. I do not believe that there are any roguelikes available on the nintendo switch. I could be wrong. regardless, if there are any they are very few. rogue-lites are the popular sub genre these days. please do not be offended. I do not intend to be a snob. It is just is a pretty large pet peeve of mine when people call one of my favorite sub genre/genres by the wrong name. going back to the topic, two racing games instantly come to mind as being both retro inspired and worthy of your dollars. those two are hotshot racing which is a spiritual successor to games like virtua racing and other arcade racers, and road redemption, which is a spiritual successor to the road rash series. unfortunately road redemption is also a rogue-lite. it is an s tier rogue-lite on my rating scale and it is the only motorcycle racing game worth owning in my opinion on the nintendo switch. hotshot racing is an s tier arcade racer on my scale and is the best non kart racer arcade racer for online matches between friends on the nintendo switch in my opinion, and the single player is just as brilliant. alot of people including mark and glen here are big fans of horizon chase turbo. I bought it upon their recommendation at launch but still haven't gotten into it much. virtua racing has an excellent port on switch as part of the Sega ages collection, as does outrun, two classics that are must own, though they are retro ports, not new games. I do not know if you want those on this list, ao I figured I would include them. I also do not know what your criteria is for whether a racer is retro or not, so I figured I would mention a few others. riptide renegade gp is the closest to a wave race spiritual successor that is available on switch. it is a great game and worth your money even if it does not come close to the game it is aping. grip is a successor to a game on ps1 that I forget the name of. I have not played it too much but I am pretty sure it is solid and worth the buy. I would consider hot wheels unleashed and need for speed hot pursuit remastered are both fantastic. they are both technically modern arcade racers, but considering that nfshpr is a remaster of an older game then it could be considered retro, and hot wheels is simply hot wheels. nuff said haha. fast rmx is another successor to a ps1 game that I forgot the name of. great game, arguably retro to a certain extent. xenon racer and rise: race the future are two more arcade racers worth owning. I just figured i would inform you of arcade racers worth owning for the console, in case you consider them to fit into the category of retro racers. for that matter, kart racers would also be included, the three worth owning being mario kart 8 Deluxe, crash racing: nitro fueled and sonic team racing. I should also include the remaster of cruis'n blast for nintendo switch which I believe is the only title on this list besides the kart racers that is available physically for the Nintendo Switch. it is not my personal favorite style of arcade racer, as it is a bit loose and casual for my taste, but I believe it is worth your time and money if it is yours. I should note that the menu music is one heck of a banger. as for slipstream, I just pressed buy. now to play and decide on my verdict. thanks swichup!
@Ro Bear I am pretty sure that from my research, if a game has any cross run progression at all, it is a lite. a like would be a game with no cross run progression. random generation does not define terms, but rather is a trait of both subgenres. if I am wrong, provide evidence. as for the list, huh? I provided it.
I also find it curious how fourteen people have thumbs upped your comment that contained falsely categorized games. it really bothers me how many people call an entire sub genre/genre by the wrong name. a glorious sub genre/genre at that!
Never knew you guys would cover this! I would say that its such a treat. Controls and gameplay is such a nostalgia factor. The game is a mix of retro and modern that made this an awesome pick for me. Great job with the review!
My favorite retro racer growing up was Road rash for the PS1. At the time I thought it was the most realistic game I had ever played and I loved that I had to run back to my bike if I crashed and fell off.
My favorite retro racer would be GT Advance on the gba. It’s not the most polished racing game, but it holds a special place in my heart as being the first gba game i bought.
Super Mario Kart for me! Too many great memories of going to my neighbors house to play. Everyone taking turns while we went through a whole case of yoo-hoo haha. Good times.
I really love this game. Lots of options and modes. Hope for more content in the future. Would love to be able to change music with a press of a button. Playing this game on a big tv is a blast! Good job devs, hope more people experience this game! Brazil, you rock at racing games! 🤘
This game looks amazing, I'm in love with this art style (Singing Night of Fire in my head cause of the Initial D vibes). Nice combination of retro arcade racer mechancis with some newer upgrading and tighter controls. Definitely have to grab this game eventually.
This reminds me of a dos game called Lotus. That has to be my favorite retro racer since I played it a lot as a kid. Thanks SwitchUp!! Keep up the good work!
Outrun 2006, on PSP. Not sure if it counts, but it just captures that incredible arcade vibe of pure fun, score chasing, and 'just one more go'. They don't make them like they used to!
My favourite retro racing games: Outrun, Chase HQ, Super Hang On, Enduro Racer, had an Amstrad back in the 80s and some particularly rubbish conversions, awesome that can have such brilliant conversions on Switch, Outrun and Space Harrier are played as much as Mario Kart! Great channel cheers
Ridge Racer type 4 has phenomenal on the PlayStation, that intro movie and soundtrack... But my favourite is probably Outrun 2 on the Xbox. That was how you update a retro racer for (at the time) modern machines.
Definitely love that they’re paying homage to the classic 300zx, excited to see the full car lineup! My favorite “retro”racer definitely has to be the original NFS Underground. Yeah it’s not what most would call retro, but was my first ever racing game!
Burnout 2: Point of Impact - its 20 years old this year, so I guess it qualifies as a 'retro racer' right? It's arcade racing at its purest. Speed, turbo boosts, checkpoints, pumping soundtrack, tight controls, rewarding near misses and lightning reactions required. One hell of an adrenaline rush (quite literally) from start to finish. Plus watching the spectacular, crunching, slo-mo beautiful consequence of your mistake when you crashed was as equally satisfying as it was frustrating. That fine line between reward and error was perfectly balanced, encouraging you to come as close to a head on as possible for the pay off of NOS boost, gaining you valuable milliseconds to gain ground on your competitors. This game was never bettered IMO.
Outrun. But my favorite is Outrun Online Arcade on 360. It was the original with updated graphics. Had extra cars. I played it to death. Wish Microsoft wouldn’t have let the license expire so I could redownload it
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2 will always be my favorite retro racer. My bestie and I played it on his PS2 when it came out and it turned me on to the whole NFS franchise. Excellent arcade racing with fun cars in interesting venues and an unbeatable soundtrack. You never forget your first love in a genre.
for me my favourite retro racer was nfs hot pursuit, I know it doesn’t really count as retro but it was the first racing game I ever played, I remember being sat at my dads pc for hours just driving
Outrun, I first played it on C-64, then got in love with the arcade cabinet, and got in love again with Out Run 2006 Coast zo coast ( fsntastic reimagining)
Love playing outrun everytime I get into a yakuza game. The drifting in this game reminds me of the anime Initial D, probably because of the retro cars.
this might not qualify but i loved playing gran turismo 2 i believe it was, other then that i would say mario kart double dash on gamecube was tons of fun
I used to love Outrun as a kid in the arcades. The beautiful blonde woman by my 9 year old side as I drifted my red Ferrari through the checkpoints, using a REAL STEERING WHEEL like a grown up. The illusion was ruined when I ran out of time and my car crawled to a halt, forcing me to leave the cabinet to find my dad and ask him for another 20p.
outrun definitely my favorite retro gaming. played it on arcade back then was fun with steering wheel, shiter, pedals and stuff. passing breeze soundtrack yo!!!
Sega Rally is my favorite retro racer, the game itself is a lot of fun, but it really shined while playing head to head with your Friends at the Arcade. Oh the memories! Unfortunately Arcades are no longer common place around here.
I'd have to say Road Rash 3D is my favourite retro racing game. It isn't the best going around but it just oozes atmosphere and the different environments has me going back from time to time to just cruise in the world they created.
Outrun and F-Zero is what i have in mind when i saw this game, it really looks and feels like an old retro style racing game i played when i was a kid. having this in my game library would be awesome!
My favorite retro racer game is the original Outrun. The first ever racing game in arcade on my local super market. so fun and the path choose concept is great. Slipstream reminds me of this game.
For me my favorite retro racer would be Ridge Racer 64 for the Nintendo 64, I believe my parents bought it together with the console because it was going to be a Christmas Present. I wasn't the only one playing this game, my father would also play it and I remember sitting next to him to watch. He's no gamer and Ridge Racer 64 is probably the first and only game he ever played but it was nice that we connected during that time when I was so young.
For me, nothing beats ridge racer 4 on ps1, because of how the racing feels like, the aesthetics, the music, the design of the menus, the overall vibe…just purfect
My favourite retro racer was Power Drive on the Mega Drive. It was fun but challenging. Good graphics for the 16 bit era too. Love the look of slipstream as it reminds me a lot of games like outrun and chase hq.
My favorite retro racer will be Outrun, the first I play the game, I love it so much. Till today I still playing it. I bought the Sega ages Outrun for both my 3ds and Nintendo switch. Sometime I also go play Outrun 2 at the arcade and psp for portable. 😘 Hope Sega will release Outrun 2 for Nintendo Switch 😘
I know objectively it’s not the greatest racer but I have fond memories of Rage Racer on the original PlayStation. It was one of the few games my dad would play as he loved racers. I remember taking turns trying to beat each other’s record laps. I would love another MotorStorm too, as the first two games on the PS3 were absolutely fantastic.
Top Gear for the Super NES had the best music. And there was something special revving up the engine meter to start the race… Makes me want to fire up my old Super Nintendo. Hahaha
What a fun looking retro looking game that music makes me want to get the 80s sweatband out and you can't go wrong with outrun or wipeout (dose that now count as retro? 😆)
I'm a big fan of the OutRun series I carry my psp with my and get in a few runs on the way to work. Or Hang-On is a good one too many quarter and dollars lost to trying to get the feel of that one in the arcades. Great post have a wonderful week gents.

Outrun is my favorite! Easy choice I know, but the song where you enter your name made me get into producing music so I will never forget!
Love a bit of wipout!!
Have to go with Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge 🚗
F Zero for the SNES or Star Wars Episode I Pod Racer
Mario Kart Double Dash is retro enough right?
The original Ridge Racer has to be my most played retro racer!! Loved that game!
This made me realize how there aren’t many modern-retro racing games. In a market full of indie RPGs, rogue likes, platformers, etc, this feels really refreshing to see

Horizon Chase Turbo is good and i heard cruise n blast is too
@@guyvandermire4146 what? Just bc he didnt say arcade racer? Lol
Never knew you guys would cover this! I would say that its such a treat. Controls and gameplay is such a nostalgia factor. The game is a mix of retro and modern that made this an awesome pick for me.
Great job with the review!
My favorite retro racer growing up was Road rash for the PS1. At the time I thought it was the most realistic game I had ever played and I loved that I had to run back to my bike if I crashed and fell off.
My favorite retro racer would be GT Advance on the gba. It’s not the most polished racing game, but it holds a special place in my heart as being the first gba game i bought.
Finally, the spiritual successor to Outrun! Mr. Smee, grab my steering wheel!
That's the only "retro" racer I need...
I loved dropping quarters into Outrun in the arcades. Evan though I wasn't that good at it.
Super Mario Kart for me! Too many great memories of going to my neighbors house to play. Everyone taking turns while we went through a whole case of yoo-hoo haha. Good times.
no question my favorite retro racer is the original outrun, I discovered thanks to the arcade machines on Yakuza 0
My favorite racer in general is Burnout 3. Played it with my dad a lot and this game makes me have fond memories of him
This is super vanilla, but I've always had a soft spot in my heart for good ol' Pole Position. I remember playing it a lot on Namco Museum on PSX.
I really love this game. Lots of options and modes. Hope for more content in the future. Would love to be able to change music with a press of a button. Playing this game on a big tv is a blast! Good job devs, hope more people experience this game! Brazil, you rock at racing games! 🤘
Rage Racer for the PSOne, lot of happy memories with that title and the soundtrack is amazing. It’s so 90s it hurts. Brilliant
I think my favourite is still Chase H.Q. on the Spectrum. Nothing really beats those childhood memories - and it holds up well too.
This game looks amazing, I'm in love with this art style (Singing Night of Fire in my head cause of the Initial D vibes). Nice combination of retro arcade racer mechancis with some newer upgrading and tighter controls. Definitely have to grab this game eventually.
This reminds me of a dos game called Lotus. That has to be my favorite retro racer since I played it a lot as a kid. Thanks SwitchUp!! Keep up the good work!
Outrun and ridge racer are still my go to. I'm still playing Outrun 3d on the 3ds
Outrun 2006, on PSP.
Not sure if it counts, but it just captures that incredible arcade vibe of pure fun, score chasing, and 'just one more go'. They don't make them like they used to!
My favourite retro racer was Chase HQ. The racing plus battle elements were amazing and I just couldn't put it down.
Happy days 😎
Favourite racer for me was Road rash on the mega drive. Followed very closely by street racer too. 👍
Road Rash 2 was my childhood racing game on mega drive
My favourite retro racing games: Outrun, Chase HQ, Super Hang On, Enduro Racer, had an Amstrad back in the 80s and some particularly rubbish conversions, awesome that can have such brilliant conversions on Switch, Outrun and Space Harrier are played as much as Mario Kart! Great channel cheers

They got me at Tofu Boy at 2:04
This is like the perfect mix of Outrun and Top Gear.
California Dreams' Street rod is my favorite retro racer. Played for hours on the old 286 pc. Cops giving me tickets for speeding is my bane.
Man, this looks like it belongs on the Sega 32X... I LOVE IT!!!
My favourite retro racer is Beetle Adventure Racing.
I'd love to see it re-released in some form
Definitely love that they’re paying homage to the classic 300zx, excited to see the full car lineup!
My favorite “retro”racer definitely has to be the original NFS Underground. Yeah it’s not what most would call retro, but was my first ever racing game!
One of my favorite cars. If only i could get mine back running lmao
@@statesminds I hope you can haha they're such iconic vehicles! Engine bay is definitely intimidating though!
Crazy that one Brazilian guy with a dream was able to create such a nice throwback to the retro racers of old.
My favourite retro racing experience was driving Audi B3 1.6 diesel from 1991, on rapeseed oil from a grocery store. Cheers

I loved Crusin World on N64 when I was a kid. It was 1 song that had the chillest vibe ever with jungle noise in the background lol
for me my favourite retro racer was nfs hot pursuit, I know it doesn’t really count as retro but it was the first racing game I ever played, I remember being sat at my dads pc for hours just driving
Twisted metal black is my fav, it's not exactly a racer but I mean it controls like one
Outrun, I first played it on C-64, then got in love with the arcade cabinet, and got in love again with Out Run 2006 Coast zo coast ( fsntastic reimagining)
My have to be Micro Machines 2 turbo tournament. So many hours put into mastering all that tracks. Ah, will go remove dust from my Mega Drive 😅
Big Red Racer had an awesome soundtrack back in the day always made me laugh. Street Racer was also great with the fighting aspect like road rash.
Love playing outrun everytime I get into a yakuza game. The drifting in this game reminds me of the anime Initial D, probably because of the retro cars.
this might not qualify but i loved playing gran turismo 2 i believe it was, other then that i would say mario kart double dash on gamecube was tons of fun

MJR probably has his team of highly paid Lawyers sending you a Cease & Desist Order for using his Trademark term! Lol! 🤣
I second what Abraham was saying. I'd love to see like a hotline Miami story level indie retro racing game with model pixel art.
My favourite retro racer is Sega Rally, Sega Saturn version. Destruction Derby is a very close second.
Favourite retro racer - Chase HQ💪
My favorite retro racing was Road rash, racing and hitting was the best feature of it
4:52 - Brazil is Mega Drive land, bay-be.
I'm rather confident it has all sorts of those inspirations.
Cheers.
This is a great game, it gives Horizon Chase a run for it's money.. but the Ayrton Senna DLC for Horizon C /T is superb!
If you like slipstream you should try these games:
1- Horizon Chase Turbo.
2- 80's Overdrive.
I've always had a soft spot for "Rock & Roll Racing". Keep up the good work!
outrun definitely my favorite retro gaming. played it on arcade back then was fun with steering wheel, shiter, pedals and stuff. passing breeze soundtrack yo!!!
Sega Rally is my favorite retro racer, the game itself is a lot of fun, but it really shined while playing head to head with your Friends at the Arcade. Oh the memories! Unfortunately Arcades are no longer common place around here.
Favorite retro racer is Star Wars episode 1 racer. Played it to death when I was younger on my families old n64.
Carmageddon!... Man I loved that game back I the day. Me and my best friend played it to death. Aaah those were the days...
My favorite retro racer gonna be Top Gear. It brings back memories where you need to save your allowance and gonna play on arcade with my friends
Looks like a cool homage to the Super Scaler racers of the late 80’s / early 90’s
I'd have to say Road Rash 3D is my favourite retro racing game. It isn't the best going around but it just oozes atmosphere and the different environments has me going back from time to time to just cruise in the world they created.
Outrun and F-Zero is what i have in mind when i saw this game, it really looks and feels like an old retro style racing game i played when i was a kid.
having this in my game library would be awesome!
I love Top Gear on Super Nintendo!
So many afternoons on 2 player mode.
Out Run was one of my most favourite arcade racers man I should try to get a emulated version
Nostalgic game for sure, brings back memories of dumping quarters into a machine at stores and arcades
Crusi'n USA hasn't found its way to the N64 Switch Expansion yet.... This will DEFINITELY fill that void.
My favorite retro racer game is the original Outrun. The first ever racing game in arcade on my local super market. so fun and the path choose concept is great. Slipstream reminds me of this game.
Favorite reto racer is Outrun without a doubt. 3D version on the 3DS absolutely rocked my world
For me my favorite retro racer would be Ridge Racer 64 for the Nintendo 64, I believe my parents bought it together with the console because it was going to be a Christmas Present. I wasn't the only one playing this game, my father would also play it and I remember sitting next to him to watch. He's no gamer and Ridge Racer 64 is probably the first and only game he ever played but it was nice that we connected during that time when I was so young.
I believe I could finish multiple courses blindfolded on the F-1 Race in the OG Gameboy. :D
My favorite retro racing game is Top Gear 1 and 2... can't decide between those two
My favorite retro game was Top Gear 3000. That game was sweet. Also a big fan of Road Rash and F-Zero X & GX also shout out to Wipe Out.
My top retro racer has to be Stunts, endless replayability with my friends
Road Rash! So many hours playing with my cousins. I was never great but always had fun.
Thanks! I’m a big Horizon Chase Turbo fan. The first racer I got into was Grand Turismo 2 on PS1.
My favorite retro racing game is Top Gear from the SNES era.
Looks great! Road Rash 2 on my Sega Megadrive was my favorite back in the day.
I’m not sure which burnout it was but my favorite had a who can cause the most damage in a car crash mode.
For me, nothing beats ridge racer 4 on ps1, because of how the racing feels like, the aesthetics, the music, the design of the menus, the overall vibe…just purfect
I am glad games like this exists. It's the kind of game you can play on the go under any situation :)
My favourite retro racer was Power Drive on the Mega Drive. It was fun but challenging. Good graphics for the 16 bit era too. Love the look of slipstream as it reminds me a lot of games like outrun and chase hq.
Outrun or Pole position. But both of them was pretty expensive to play, at least for a kid
Love these kind of games. Hot Shot Racing was pretty solid too.
Burnout 3 driving with Sega Rally style. Loved it.
My favourite as a kid was Nigel Mansell world championship racing
I always loved Super Monaco GP on the mega drive. An old school classic!
I was big on Daytona in the arcade and on the Saturn/Dreamcast.
I've been looking for a new racing game, nothing too big and fancy but something more acrade-y like this. Definetly will pick up.
Rock n' Roll Racing by a long shot.....however if I'm in a self loathing frame of mind it would be Star Wars: Super Bombad Racing.
My favorite retro racer will be Outrun, the first I play the game, I love it so much. Till today I still playing it. I bought the Sega ages Outrun for both my 3ds and Nintendo switch. Sometime I also go play Outrun 2 at the arcade and psp for portable. 😘
Hope Sega will release Outrun 2 for Nintendo Switch 😘
I know objectively it’s not the greatest racer but I have fond memories of Rage Racer on the original PlayStation. It was one of the few games my dad would play as he loved racers. I remember taking turns trying to beat each other’s record laps.
I would love another MotorStorm too, as the first two games on the PS3 were absolutely fantastic.
Top Gear for the Super NES had the best music. And there was something special revving up the engine meter to start the race… Makes me want to fire up my old Super Nintendo. Hahaha
What a fun looking retro looking game that music makes me want to get the 80s sweatband out and you can't go wrong with outrun or wipeout (dose that now count as retro? 😆)
F-zero is my favorite retro racer. Let's hope they revive the series some day.
A Top Gear successor? They need to make physical copies!!
I'm a big fan of the OutRun series I carry my psp with my and get in a few runs on the way to work. Or Hang-On is a good one too many quarter and dollars lost to trying to get the feel of that one in the arcades. Great post have a wonderful week gents.
Surely Outrun, but I loved to death Continental Circus too!
I love racing and never heard of this so good looking out. Will check it out.
Original F-Zero. Absolutely no doubt.
Outrun has so many hours spent on holiday with my brothers playing it
The sense of speed on this is really impressive, and I love the retro look
Could it even usurp Horizon Chase as my go to arcade racer? I won! UK
I'm still waiting for a port of Outrun 2 on the Switch. lol. I love that game!
Gotta be micro machines on the mega drive, had many great Saturday afternoon's with my mates playing it great retro fun.
My favourite retro racer is: Daytona USA!
