A new arcade racer is on its way to the Nintendo Switch soon!

Ivanovich Games has revealed that they’ll be bringing Touring Karts later on the hyrid system after its initial release on the Playstation 4. However, no release date has been announced as of press time.

Touring Karts will feature cross-platform multiplayer for up-to eight players between all platforms without requiring a VR device, thus granting the party for every player, regardless where they are and the device they use.

Master your racing skills while interacting with the environment as if you would be doing it in the real world.
