There are various vehicles to use, 27 fun and funky random items positioned all over a race track and various cups and that for players to try their hand out and become the champion of. Still, being a game that whether or not it does intentionally follow in the footsteps of the Mario Kart games, it has a lot of similar features to the iconic franchise and is most similar to the latest Mario Kart games. Then again that might just be down to the fact that back during the Beach Buggy Blitz days, BBB was a racing game where you simply raced against a clock, whereas its sequel allows you to do battle in real-time against CPU and human controlled racers. I don’t hate Beach Buggy Racing as I actually do rather like the game and the quantity of content it has, but in my mind, it spends so much time trying to be something else that it feels like it has given up on trying to establish itself as being something different, or even itself. It may not have as many playable racers as the MK series has, as BBR only has 10, which is more than the previous game had, but it is an indie game that comes across as trying to be the next Mario Kart game, only it isn’t and it’s wrong of it to try. But in order to reach said point, you really will need to invest some serious time into it and for what it’s worth, it does actually look better when played in TV Mode.įor anyone who is not yet put off by Beach Buggy Racing for Nintendo Switch just yet, the best way to possibly describe it is to by saying it is a full on indie alternative to the Mario Kart games. Granted the graphics might not be all that, which is an easily noticeable fact for anyone who checked out Beach Buggy Racing’s eShop listing, I have found that the more you play Beach Buggy Racer, the more the game’s controls, visuals and characters grow on you.

Release Date: 14 th of September, 2017 (PAL & NA)įor the fans who love a good racing game but couldn’t bring themselves to get Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and FAST RMX for their Switch, after already owning the Wii U counterparts to both games, than not to worry, for Vector Unit has you covered!ĭeveloped and published by Vector Unit back in 2014 as a sequel to Beach Buggy Blitz, Beach Buggy Racing is the latest racing game to race its way to the eShop for Nintendo Switch and right off the bat, it’s really not as bad as people think it is.
