Fast Fusion
Play it on: Switch 2
Current goal: Finish a race without crashing
Next-gen Wipeout is here and it’s a Switch 2 launch game. Fast Fusion is the latest futuristic racer from Shin’en Multimedia. Continuing the legacy of Fast Racing League on Wii, Fast Racing Neo on Wii U, and Fast RMX on Switch, the game is all about mastering turns and speed boosts while flying down industrial tracks at breakneck speed. It’s not worth buying a Switch 2 for, but it’s the perfect compliment to F-Zero GX which is also available on Switch 2 through Switch Online. Fast Fusion doesn’t quite have the style and visual flair of either of those other sci-fi racing franchises, but it nails the feeling and pacing.
Some of the levels, like tracks snaking around in the air above the clouds, look stunning. Best of all, it’s only $15. — Ethan Gach
