Fast RMX is a remaster (or a remix) of Fast Racing Neo, a Wii U eShop title. Developed by Shin'en Multimedia, it is the third game in the Nintendo exclusive Fast series that started all the way on WiiWare. The Fast series is somewhat of a spiritual successor to F-Zero, a Nintendo franchise that has been long forgotten by Nintendo itself. If Nintendo won't develop any more games in the series, at least Shin'en is trying...but have their efforts ended up being worth it? Let's dig in.





Graphics









Fast RMX looks phenomenal, especially considering the hardware it's on. Breath of the Wild is a beautiful game, but it doesn't look real. Fast RMX does. It's crazy to me that we live in a world where $20 games on portable Nintendo hardware look this good. This game is truly breathtaking.





In some of the levels, there are weather effects. As water, snow, or sand bombard your screen, it's easy to become incredibly immersed in the game's world. One of the key mechanics of the game requires your car and certain areas throughout the track to glow in a bright blue or orange. These bright lights really grab your eye and add to the overall experience of Fast RMX. The game also has some really great particle effects. As your car veers into the barricades on the sides of a track or into an enemy racer, the sparks that fly up into the air really make the game even more intense.





Fast RMX also has a diverse lineup environments from across the world (and beyond). Whether you're blasting through the bitter tundra of Antarctica or the brightly lit urban landscape of Neo Kyoto, you'll feel like you're really there.





Music/Sound









I really love the music in Fast RMX. The game's soundtrack is comprised of tons of different electronic tracks that really fit the environments they're played in and cause you to become even more invested into the intense experience that is Fast RMX. I really enjoy listening to these songs while I'm playing the game, and even when I'm not.





The sound effects are also pretty good, although they're not really anything too special. The sounds you hear as you zoom around the track make you feel like you're right there. The crashing and landing noises also sound pretty realistic.
