As many people know Team Sonic Racing will be one of Sega’s biggest racing titles since the Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing game which was released for multiple consoles back in 2010. Also, Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled is an remastered version of the original PS1 title which was released about 20 years ago in 1998.

Generally, when it comes down to racing genre neither the Sonic the Hedgehog nor the the Crash Bandicoot specializes in it but its some might argue that Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled will definitely have the edge in relation to popularity especially considering how popular the Crash Bandicoot N. same Trilogy was following its release back in June 2017.

Could the Top Gear series have worked on the Sega Genesis?

When it comes down to racing titles of the early 90’s the Top Gear series was enjoyable for the SNES during that time period. Even though, the replay value of the first three were decent the games themselves did not sell as much in comparison to titles like the original Mario Kart game for the SNES. Some wonder whether or not Top Gear could have ended up selling more than it did if was released for the Sega Genesis instead.

However, when it came down to the Sega Genesis the console arguably had better racing titles in general than the SNES. On Sega Genesis we had games such as Virtual Racing, Out Run, Super Monaco GP, the Road Rash series and many others. In fact the Top Gear series could have easily been overshadowed on the Sega Genesis. The sprites and graphics used for Genesis games were not quite as good as the SNES depending on who you ask. While it would have cool to see the Top Gear series on the Sega Genesis it stood out as much as it did mainly because they were released as SNES exclusives during the early 90’s.

Gran Turismo Sport (2).jpg

There is no doubt that Gran Turismo Sport and Forza Motorsport were among two of the biggest racing games of 2017.  The graphics and gameplay of both racing games were amazing but when one compares Gran Turismo Sport to Forza Motorsport 7 there are some major differences that were noticeable between two titles.  Forza Motorosport 7 includes over 700 cars to select from for the Xbox One while Gran Turismo Sport has over 150 cars from players to choose from on the PS4.  Also, the Virtual Reality feature that Gran Turismo Sport has to offer on the PS4 is one of the main things that separates this game from Forza Motorsport 7.

However, just because Gran Turismo Sport included Virtual Reality support doesn’t automatically mean that it was a superior game.  In fact, Forza Motorsport 7 was named “Best Racing Game” by the Game Critics Awards, The Game Awards of 2017 and IGN in 2017.  Some might say as of right now Forza Motorsport 7 for the Xbox One has the slight edge over Gran Turismo Sport for the PlayStation 4.

Should Rock n Roll Racing be re-released for the SNES Classic Edition?

Aside for the Top Gear racing series from the early to mid 90’s Rock Roll Racing was probably considered one of the most exciting racing games for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.  The isometric racing game had remixes  amazing soundtracks from popular rock bands.  Rock n Roll racing also had some pretty cool features that dealt with racing for money attacking other vehicles during competitions while traveling to multiple planets.  

As far as racing titles for the SNES Classic Edition are concerned we already have F-Zero and Super Mario Kart for old school based retro game consoles.  Having more old school racing titles for the SNES Classic Edition would definitely appeal to retro gamers of the 16 bit era.
