That said, the original CTR also ran at 30 and it was the love for that game that has us looking at this remake two decades later, so anyone claiming they adored the original but that 30fps on Switch – and every other version, incidentally – is a deal-breaker is maybe being a tad disingenuous. Instead, everything has been entirely rebuilt from scratch, meaning courses are now packed with little details and character animations are bursting with personality.Įverything runs at a solid 30 frames per second, which may disappoint some given that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe runs at 60. Although its characters and tracks are mainly based on those from the 1999 title, this isn’t a straight HD upgrade where the resolution’s been increased and the textures have been tweaked a little.
It obviously goes without saying that the most notable selling point of Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is how fantastic it looks.
