Amid the wave of Nintendo Switch 2 announcements, one of the most exciting reveals was FAST Fusion, a new installment in the zero-gravity racing series developed by Shin’en Multimedia. This high-octane racing game is scheduled to be a launch title for Nintendo’s new console, just like its predecessor, FAST RMX, was a launch title on the original Switch. Then, the German indie developer changed direction with The Touryst, an action-adventure game that was released on multiple platforms in 2020.

FAST Fusion Revealed as Nintendo Switch 2 Launch Title, Promises 4K 60FPS with HDR
Now Shin’en is back on Nintendo exclusives with FAST Fusion, a racer that at first glance looks like it is making the most of the Nintendo Switch 2 hardware. The developers promise a racing experience that pushes the limits of speed, delivering fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled gameplay at a smooth 60 frames per second, with visuals reaching up to 4K HDR. The race ties into the antigravity hyper jump technology, which gives players control of a vehicle that can perform long-range jumps to strategically leap over obstacles as well as opponents for the speed up.
Moreover, a vehicle fusion system allows players to combine different vehicle parts to create over 400 unique racing machines. FAST Fusion promises stunning tracks over a range of terrain, from dense Redwood forests to vast Alpine peaks and neon-drenched cityscapes. Rich quality haptic feedback with HD Rumble, smooth motion controls, and customizable button layouts will also be part of the game.
It’s expected to support chilling out with friends or foes, local split-screen up to four players, as well as online through the brand new Nintendo Switch 2 Game Share feature. The game will support TV Mode, Tabletop Mode, Handheld Mode, and the new Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller. To highlight their technical expertise, Shin’en has now released five beautiful screenshots, demonstrating the game’s calling cards as well as some impressive visual fidelity.
