#GamingNEWS Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled – Nitro Tour Grand Prix Intro

I don't care if it was started as such, it's not just a remake, I actually call Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled "CTR4"!

It basically offers  the combined experience of CTR, Nitro Kart and Tag Team Racing. Updating the adventure mode of the original with characters, karts and the customization of the later games. Plus all the new added gimmicks and features.

As well as the inclusion of the online mode AND the upcoming Grand Prix mode!

Starting with tomorrow's first Grand Prix, the Nitro Tour Grand Prix! Which will allow to unlock some more new content with a new in-game currency!

And here's the awesome new trailer, featuring the return of the cartoon mutant chicken duo of Chick and Stew (check out their voice actors!! Sonic's in Crash, sorta! Haha!),  brought over from CTTR's cutscenes! Also, Tawna is back and not kidnapped for a change. The Trophy Girls from the original CTR are now racing for their own trophies. And more!



Nitro-Fueled just keeps getting better and better! Well done, Beenox! With your crew and Vicarious Vision, Crash is finally in good hands! (So long, Radical!)

#GamingNEWS Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled – Customization Trailer

I almost forgot the new Crash Team Racing game is coming up soon.

Looking less and less like a CTR remake, and more and more like a proper new installement in the series, the 4th Crash racing game. It even takes more and more elements from Nitro Kart and Tag Team Racing each new trailer!



FAKE CRASH is in the place!!

So is customization!

 They need to add Nina Cortex, and this will become my dream Crash kart racing game!!

Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled launches for the PlayStation 4, Switch and Xbox One on June 21.

#GamingNEWS Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled teaser trailer!

Long-rumored and dreamed by fans, CTR is back!

This "remaster" is actually going to be an expanded remake. Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. The whole original CTR experience with all its modes, characters and tracks. With additional vehicles from Crash Nitro Kart and Tag Team Racing (!). More characters. And unlockable N.Oxyde (the main villain). 

Here's the trailer!



The game won't be developed by Vicarious Vision this time (busy making a proper new Crash...?), but by Beenox. They made the fun Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions back then. So it's fine by me. I hope they kept the original gameplay intact and didn't take too many cues from Nitro Kart and Tag Team. I liked those two sequels, but it wasn't the same..

The game's expected for june 21, next year.

#SEGAnews Team Sonic Racing - Reveal Trailer

Long rumored and teased by Sega's social media accounts, leaked by toy manufactures, info revealed by fans and loosely revealed by Wallmart yesterday, Sega has now officially confirmed the new kart racing game featuring Sonic & co.

After teasing it as a Sonic R spiritual successor, it's actually a follow up to Sumo Digital's last racing All-Stars games. And it's weirdly titled Team Sonic Racing.

While I'm sad to see the Sega All-Stars part go, I will miss all these classic Sega IPs crossovers, I hope this means we won't get any weird cross-promotion stuff like Banjo & Kazooie (love 'em, not in a Sega-exclusive crossover game, please), Wreck it Ralph or Danica Patrick...

Developed one more time by Sumo Digital, who worked on 2010’s Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing and 2012’s Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. The game is expected to feature 15 Sonic characters (why not more? DLC? the last two games had over 20!), team-gimmick mechanics, all the previous modes from the other two titles.

Here's a CGi trailer:



With Sonic Forces just behind and  Sonic Mania Plus around the corner, I kinda expect to see Infinite, Mighty and Ray among the cast!

Expect proper gameplay during E3. The game will be released sometime this winter on Switch, PS4, Xbox One and PC.

1PanelReview Konami Krazy Racers

Here's a little quickie I wanted to review before another Konami crossover title.

 

#DeletedScenes - CTR 2010

Alongside Radical Entertainment's 2nd Crash Bandicoot reboot, Crash Landed, a "sister game" of sorts was being developed at the time.

Simply known as Crash Team Racing (2010), it was to be a new (and 4th) Crash Bandicoot Kart game. A return to basis, without any silly gimmick this time.

Only Crash & co in go-karts, with their new updated chibi-ysh designs.

Let's check this new video that has just surfaced recently:



Wooah!!!

It was being developed by High Impact Games (a team mostly composed of old Naughty Dog crew, the ones that left after Sony's buy-off).

Despite never being released, since Activision decided to simply ditch this series over the last few years, it looked quite promising!

It was originally sheduled for PS3, 360 and the Wii. Personally

I loved the cartoony art style of these two 2010 scrapped games... really sad that we never got both of these..

It's time to have another look back at yet another Looney Tunes game!

This one was kind of forgotten but it was one of the best received ones at the time back then.

#SEGA News! New S&ASRT Trailer!

Here's something that will either make you cringe or please you.

Sega's just released a brand new trailer for Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed!
We get to see some more tracks and whatnot.
...
And also get the first look at the "bonus character" Danica Patrick in-game!
They got her lovely likeness pretty well but her model does look a bit lifeless.. I dunno.

Yes, it feels a bit weird to have a more realistic "human" character along the likes of BD Joe & company.
But, hey! Marketing!
Her toy car comes along the partnership Sega got with Mattel and Hot Wheels. (and in return some Sega and Sonic stickers on Danica's Nascar vehicle for a while~)



Ma-rket-ing!

On another hand I probably will end up barely playing with Wreck-it-Ralph and her. I mean, give me more Sega-nostalgia! Not random guests, thank you!

#SEGA NEWS! Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed announced!

Sega finally officially announced the Sega All-Stars Racing sequel.
Only it's dropping the Sega in the title and will now be titled Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed!
Let's check it out~

Sega NEWS! All-Stars Racing 2 announcement imminent

The rumors have all but been confirmed by now, a new Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing 2 game is coming up soon!

A listing for the game appeared online on some websites, but Sega took them down.
They're probably waiting to announce the news themselves, via a surprise trailer or something. (this summer at E3?)

But we won't have to wait much it seems, since it is sheduled for a November 30th 2012 release date apparently.
The game will be coming out on the PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii.

I'm crossing fingers for random and underused Sega licenses, like Nintendo did with the Ice Climbers and Earthbound in Smash Bros.

My pick? ToeJam & Earl, Rent-A-Hero, Pengo and Monster World! :P

Gamin' NEWS! Mario Kart 7

And here's one more trailer of an upcoming Nintendo game.
It's Mario Kart 7, which will be released later this year as well, on Dec. 4 on the 3DS as well.
(they're finally releasing games for that system?.. why didn't they release the system now instead?!)



And it looks like...much of the same.
Which is great for fans, I guess :P
Meh, my favorite Mario Kart was the SNES one. I played the DS one too for, like, 1 week, then completely forgot about it...
Don't mistake me, it is a good looking and fun game. But simply not for me..
