They should bring back Rad Racer.

I'd love it. But at the same time, 

Split/Second - Dev shuttered
Burnout - Dev practically shuttered
Blur - Dev shuttered
Motorstorm - Dev shuttered, though Codemasters may save the day!
Pure - Dev shuttered (see Split/Second)
FlatOut - Yay hope, but they are relying on early access to make their game possible
Trackmania - Holy crap, one of these great racing game devs is still business as normal!!!

These are really dark times for arcade racers!

I was going to say Project Cars but the remembered it was cancelled for Wii U x~x

I think the massive racing audience of Mario Kart was the legit real reason the WiiU of Project Cars version lived on for so long.

I believe Slightly Mad has been on the record saying they'd try out more powerful Nintendo hardware if/when it came available.

 

It's too bad they dragged Wii U owners through the mud for so long before telling us they weren't releasing a that port.

But by the same token - they made efforts above and beyond really any other developer out there.

They just couldn't hit 720p 30fps on the WiiU - and at a certain point in time they got brutally honest. Should they have been more honest sooner? Absolutely. Could they have actually released the game in a quality state? I for one take them at their word that they tried, and that they couldn't.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

I'm glad they didn't release a bad game as well.  But I remember their website having pre-order and limited edition information on their website like there would be no doubt.  Perhaps they should have waited to post these things and seeing the Wii U port as a big challenge perhaps try to make it work then scrap it first.  Oh well... perhaps the silver lining is they learned something from this process.

I think it was more down to the game was going to be built around 7th gen hardware and then got moved onto 8th gen so they always expected the Wii U to run it no problem, then by the time they'd finished with making the game and can't to concentrating on the Wii U build, it was like oh... It doesn't run well anymore.

It needs a sim racer and an arcade racer! Would love something akin to Blur or the older Ridge Racers

I personally have no interest in a racing sim at this point in my life but Nintendo needs to make sure its consoles provide every kind of experience...
And that doesn't mean some crappy indie eShop game or a retail port that drops in price after two weeks...
If familiar experiences (as fantastic as they might have been) didn't save the Wii U, then they have no choice but to provide something new on their next console for a more well-rounded experience...



Have a nice day...
