Fast Racing Neo received generally positive reviews from critics. A sequel, Fast RMX, was released on the Nintendo Switch on 3 March 2017 as a launch title for the system.[7]
Gameplay
Fast Racing Neo is played using the left stick to steer, A to accelerate, B to brake, X or L to change phases, (colors between blue and orange) ZL and ZR to lean (drift) left and right respectively. Changing phases comes into play when, during a race, either blue or orange set pieces of the track are driven on. You would then change phases respective of the color to get a speed boost if done correctly. There are also phase boost pieces that will give you a boost through the air, or on to another part of the track. (I.e. over a gap.)
Fast Racing Neo received "generally favorable" reviews, according to video game review aggregator website Metacritic.[8]
