I'm interested in it as it looks like a  good game, but it's also a cheap retro indie game, so regardless of it's quality it would have scored higher on that alone.  Maybe not as high as it scored right now.  Sitting at a 92 on the 3DS, 88 on the Wii U, and 85 on PC.  It's also only on Nintendo and PC right now, so the more hardcore Nintendo fanbase is obviously going to hype it far more because of that.  It's the exact same reason Rayman Legends sold best on the Wii U, because it was originally labeled as a Nintendo exclusive so a lot of those people were already interested.   

That's the thing though, the hardcore Nintendo fanbase.  Just because it's getting a lot of attention by those Nintendo fans that know more about the industry doesn't mean it's going to sell well.  Shovel Knight surpassed expectations with their 15,000 Kickstarter donations and 75,000 first week sales.  I'm sure you're aware of how significant of a drop sales become after the first week.  That 90,000 isn't even Nintendo customers, that's PC owners as well.  With the first week breakdown, 60% of sales were across 3DS and Wii U, while the other 40% were on PC. 

So 54,000 Nintendo sales.  Considering that Shovel Knight will probably not hit even a quarter of a million lifetime sales on all Nintendo products combined.  I repeat.  "Most Nintendo fans don't even blink at anything third party on Nintendo consoles.  Mystery Solved."

It's because we're only beginning to see screenshots of Fast Racing Neo. Prior to those 3 screenshots, we didn't know much about the game. Still don't

No Man's Sky however was featured at E3 and received tons of praise from the press. Fast Racing Neo hasn't had that kind of opportunity yet.

The two games are nothing alike...

Anyway, people are hyped for No Man's Sky because it has shown gameplay and it's really ambitious.

Probably because NMS will be released on a more popular machine! Plus,it will become a multiplatform after sometime.There is basically more people to hype NMS than FRN.

Besides,if bayonetta 2 prove something is that nitendo gamers(majority at least)don't care about third party games enough to create real hype.

inb4 what is real hype?

Real hype: Hype that actually results in hw boosts/sw sales. E.G: Mario kart 8,TLOU,Halo 3
Artificial hype: Small,but vocal,sample of people trying to create the illusion of hype that doesn't results in hw boost/sw sales.E.G: Titanfall,Bayonetta 2

We can't really say that FRN looks like a much better game.......for now at least!

Your casual dismissal of Shovel Knight's success and popularity is upsetting to me. Colin Moriarty -- yes, that Colin Moriarty -- reviewed the game for IGN, and has been calling it his GOTY so far ever since. Hardcore Nintendo fans my ass, you should play the game.

Now you are saying Nintendo fans are especially vocal in support of the game because of its high Metascore. That is correct. Nintendo fans like good games, and they like to see good games on their systems, as shown by the success of other well-received eShop titles such as SteamWorld Dig, Mutant Mudds, Shin'en games, and so on. Nintendo fans will also call out shit when they see it, they are not blindly praising every eShop game they can find.

Finally, and most laughably, your sales figures are very old. Those 54,000 sales represent only the first week of sales for Shovel Knight. By the end of the first month, the game had actually sold about 108,000 copies on Nintendo platforms, and I should remind you that to date Shovel Knight has only been released in North America. First month sales also show stronger legs on Nintendo platforms than on Steam, a trend that is not uncommon for eShop titles.

Considering that 60% of Shovel Knight's sales were on Nintendo platforms after one month, and that that percentage has most likely risen since then, if Nintendo fans don't even blink at third party games, what does that say about Steam users?

because No Mans Sky looks like a much better, interesting and ambitions game?

I didn't say that.  I said Nintendo fans are vocal when it comes to something seen as an exclusive.  Pretend exclusives are a big thing now you know.   

You should go back to hyping up more exclusives before they come out on other consoles.  Like this one being hyped up by Nintendo fans despite having nothing but three concept images. 

Also 104k after a month.  Let me know when it reaches a quarter of a million.  Only 150k more.

I didn´t even know Fast Racing Neo was a space exploration rogue simulator like No Man´s Sky, I thought it was a racing game or something, silly me...

You have never played a racing game before?  If this really excites you, maybe you should think about trying out some non nintendo systems?
