Fast Fusion Reviews
Futuristic Switch 2 exclusive racing game Fast Fusion is plenty of fun, but a couple of missteps keep it from reaching its full potential.
Significantly visually richer than the old game.
Fast Fusion may not have the most comprehensive collection of tracks, but it's easily the most accomplished entry in Shin'en Multimedia's series so far. The new jump ability adds a new layer of strategy to the gameplay, while experimenting with the fusion mechanic to find the perfect vehicle is a joy. The occasional grinding to save up money can be a momentary drag, but if you're after something a bit more 'hardcore' than Mario Kart World, Fast Fusion is a no-brainer, and an absolute must-buy.
The best F-Zero clone since Fast RMX, with some extremely impressive visuals for a Switch 2 launch game, although the structure and track design lack Nintendo’s finesse.
An outstanding speed game that, while not the most comprehensive in the world in terms of modes and options, offers a torrent of speed and adrenaline for very little money, and with interesting options like GameShare. Without a doubt, one of the first Switch 2 must-haves.

Fast Fusion should be an instant buy for new Nintendo Switch 2 owners, providing an incredible dose of futuristic racing and a great graphical showcase for the new console at a bargain price.
However, thanks to improved visuals and framerate that do real justice to the franchise’s futuristic inclinations, the new hyper jump ability, and the surprisingly flexible fusion mechanic, racing through stylish circuits at a fast pace has been given additional depth and dimensions.
If Fast Fusion featured online multiplayer, better image quality, and 6 or 7 more race tracks, it would enter the game-of-the-year conversation. Even without those things, it's yet another gem from Shin'en Multimedia. The Munich-based studio has once again punched above its weight, delivering a blisteringly fast, mechanically nimble futuristic racer with outstanding track design and excellent music.
Technically accomplished, this is a loud and bold experience that is both exhilarating and a great showcase

While I have some minor critiques of the image scaling implementation, the technical package overall is excellent. The Switch 2 has certainly come out of the gate as a racing powerhouse but don't let Mario Kart World take all your attention. Fast Fusion is another great entry in this sci-fi racing series.
Fast Fusion is a modest and rich game at the same time. The fun is guaranteed in the fast racing, with welcome additions, like the jump, that renovate the gameplay while we are dazzled by the impressive visuals it presents. Despite the limited content and the absence of options, such as online matchmaking, the experience is worth playing and leaves us eager for the future updates the development team has already promised and that may make the package even richer.

"Fast Fusion" is a fantastic racing game. It plays great, with the gameplay concentrating on a few, but superbly implemented elements. With the fusion mechanic, it also offers a fresh approach to adapting vehicles to your own driving style. For me, the only rather minor points of criticism are the limited choice of tracks and some graphical imperfections due to the upscaling. The high level of difficulty, especially at the beginning, might also put off newcomers.

Fast Fusion is a standout launch title for the Nintendo Switch 2, proving that even smaller games can deliver big thrills. With 12 visually stunning tracks, over 200 ship combinations, and fast-paced yet fair gameplay, it offers a polished and exhilarating racing experience—though it leaves you wishing there was just a bit more to explore.

Yet, faced with such a well-made game, despite some shortcomings, above all the absence of online multiplayer, it would be unfair to completely ignore such a low cost.

What it lacks in tracks, FAST Fusion more than makes up for in sheer blisteringly speedy fun. Stunning, smooth and dangerously addictive, between this, Mario Kart World and Arcade Archives 2 Ridge Racer, the Nintendo Switch 2 has been spoiled for racers.
Still waiting for a new F-Zero? Wait no more—Fast Fusion delivers stunning visuals, tight gameplay, and a unique fusion mechanic for under fifteen euros, making it a must-have racer on the Nintendo Switch 2 despite minor drawbacks like the lack of online multiplayer and limited track selection.
