Interview: Shin’en Multimedia Provides Details For FAST Racing Neo
NN: Flexible controller support options seem to be a pretty big deal among Wii U fans. Does FAST Racing Neo support the Wii U Pro Controller? What other control options will the software support?
SM: Perfect controls are very important to us. We support the Wii U Pro Controller, the Wii Wheel, the Wii Remote/Nunchuk and of course the Wii U GamePad.
NN: Leaderboards. Everyone loves them! I can see the headlines now. “FAST Racing Neo Shifts Into High Gear With Online Leaderboards!” Being able to compete with friends and other folks around the world via leaderboards is just undeniably fun. It also drastically enhances replay value for games. Will FAST Racing Neo feature leaderboards? If so, how will they be incorporated into the gameplay?
SM: FRN will support a wide array of online options. We see them as an important part of the game. We will reveal more on them in the near future.
NN: There are a lot of heavy hitters coming to Nintendo consoles in 2014. If you don’t mind giving us a rough time frame, when can fans expect to see FAST Racing Neo speed to the eShop?
SM: We don’t have a release date yet but our internal schedule is on track.
NN: We’re assuming that FAST Racing Neo will be a Wii U eShop exclusive title. Is that the case, or will it also be headed to the 3DS eShop?
SM: We currently fully concentrate on the Wii U version. However, we are open for other platforms as well. Nothing has been decided so far on that topic.
