Found my next game.....

Fast RMX on Switch offers 1080p 60fps with 4-player splitscreen

Developer Shin'en Multimedia details the benefits of Nintendo's new hardware.

Fast Racing Neo on Wii U was arguably one of the more impressive Wii U titles from a technical perspective, and so in our interview with Shin'en Multimedia's Manfred Linzner we asked how Switch compares to that:

"On Wii U it was tough to get to the visuals we wanted at 60fps. We had to use a lot of tricks to make it happen at all. For instance, on Wii U we were able to pull off two player split-screen racing at 720p and 60fps. Not bad at all, but with three or four players we had to scale down 30fps. Well, most racing games today don't even feature split-screen at all, so we didn't felt too bad about it. However, on the Switch we didn't had that limit. On Nintendo Switch in TV mode we now have four player split-screen, at 1080p and 60fps with much more details enabled. For worst case scenarios we enable dynamic resolution scaling to make sure the game keeps 60fps in unforeseen situations, tho that's usually not something you can spot."

It looks like a generic futuristic racing game. There's tons of games like it. shyt just looks unappealing.

You're not seeing the big picture. 4 player split screen 1080p 60fps racing on a portable console you can take anywhere isn't generic and there are no games like it at the moment.

That comes out late April. Fast RMX drops next month..didn't know Mario Kart wouldn't be 60fps. So Fast RMX will not only be first but the only racing game with those specs until something else comes out.

Hyped!!! March 3rd can't come soon enough I think Nintendo is going to kill it with this.
The Wii-U is their worst-selling console of all time with 13mil sold. In comparison, the Wii is their greatest with 102mil units sold. I think they will end up porting their Wii-U games over to Switch and hope they profit because if you think about development costs, they wasted money making games for Wii-U.

Wii U lifetime software top 10:

1. Mario Kart 8 - 8.26 million - Already ported their top selling Wii-U game for Switch, coming out April 28th.

Some of the following should be next:

2. New Super Mario Bros U - 5.62 million
3. Super Mario 3D World - 5.47 million
4. Nintendo Land - 5.16 million
5. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U - 5.16 million

6. Splatoon - 4.76 million - We're getting Splatoon 2 so don't need to port this one.

7. Super Mario Maker - 3.89 million
8. New Super Luigi U - 2.89 million
9. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD - 2.11 million
10. Mario Party 10 - 2.04 million

Nintendo would be dumb not to port half of them that's just money sitting on the table for them.
