VooFoo Studios has announced that it is bringing its top-down racer Mantis Burn Racing to the Nintendo Switch eShop.

Already a critical hit on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Steam, Mantis Burn "combines real-world ‘fun’ physics with intuitive controls in highly competitive ‘one-more-go’ style races that players of all ages and abilities can enjoy." That's VooFoo's words, not ours, but having played a bit of the game on PS4 we have to say we agree with the sentiment.

Mark Williams, Technology Director at VooFoo Studios, adds:

Mantis Burn Racing’s addictive pick-up-and-play style game play has already been very well received on PS4, Xbox One and Steam. The game’s broad appeal and addictive couch multiplayer make it a great fit for the Nintendo audience and we can’t wait to give Switch players the chance to play the definitive version of the game at home or on the move.

Mantis Burn boasts an RPG-style upgrade system, 4-player local split-screen racing (in both docked and tabletop modes) and online multiplayer options for up to 8 players. The Switch version will also benefit from additional downloadable content packs, such as ‘Battle Cars’, ‘Elite’ Class vehicles and ‘Snowbound’ tracks.

If you're planning on going to EGX in the UK this week then you'll be able to go hands-on with the Switch version of the game in the Rezzed area.
