    Overall it’s a fun game with a few quirks… but for the sake of spending some karting time with Nickelodeon cartoon characters both old and new I think it’s worth grabbing.

    This game is finally tapping into the kind of potential the license provides! [Issue #63 – January/February 2023, p. 68]

    Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3 does feel so much more complete than the first two iterations of the series, but it still has a little more room to grow…Even when I was frustrated at some of those things, the tracks, karts, and characters kept me coming back for more. It’s definitely worth checking out for fans of racing games and Nickelodeon shows and characters.

    **** this game. I am DEAD serious. No jokes, no exaggeration, this game can just go screw itself. My first two days playing this **** and I'm**** this game. I am DEAD serious. No jokes, no exaggeration, this game can just go screw itself. My first two days playing this **** and I'm ALREADY seeing issues with it! Two days. TWO!!! Is that some kinda record!? The turning is ass, the AI are busted, the challenges are borderline impossible, and EVERYTHING else is locked behind a paywall!!! How can I enjoy this if there's no actual game progression!? This is anal sauce! It's so bad, it's a work of art! It's a fine, delicately crafted sculpture of ****… Full Review »

But I am familiar with the teenage mutantFirst off I am very very many years older than the target demographic for a nickelodeon cartoon. But I am familiar with the teenage mutant ninja turtles and Aang and maybe a couple other nickelodeon characters, like sponge Bob or ren and stimpy. However I did buy their kart racer 1 and 2 so I was going to give 3 a shot, at the right price at some point, and that's not the 49$ and 59$ they were originally asking. But on sale, sure I will bite. I was intrigued by looking at the YouTube gameplay and realized it reminded me more of sonic and Sega All-stars racing transformed minus sonic than Mario kart. And since I've been wanting sonic transformed on switch since I've owned a switch and not the horrible sonic racing game Sega actually gave, I was even more intrigued. Well slime speedway 3 went on sale and I bought it, and yep it's a cross between sonic transformed and Mario kart. The cars don't transform into aircrafts, but they do transform into boats with a lot of water racing and of course it's missing sonic. But other than that I think it's a very good kart racing game. It has 3 speeds and I can see how kids will get a kick out of this, and adults too. The voice overs are often and AWFUL so I turned down the voice volume but the graphics are really nice and I don't know if it had any frame rate issues when it released but I have noticed no problems now and I'm playing single player in handheld mode. It's typical kart racing and I like that the gas and slide are mapped like most racing game buttons. To the R and L triggers. Not like Mario kart. I like that they gave me actual human characters to race as at the very start of the game and not just SpongeBob. I like everything this game does and I have and will be playing it a lot as there is a ton of stuff to unlock. Like I said, I'm older than their target audience and Im not familiar with all the nickelodeon characters but I must say, if you can get this game on sale or you like kart racing or you were a fan of sonic transformed this is the next best thing.… Full Review »

I had heard there were performance issues on switch. What hadn't gotten through to me was just how bad the switch port is. I actually think the design is fine, but it was clearly rushed. The framerate dips to what I would guess was about 15 quite often during gameplay and the resolution is awful. In split screen the fps is probably teens the whole time, and the graphics look like, I kid you not, playstation 1. Absolutely shameful, but don't blame the devs, they tried to make a good game, and they did, it just doesn't run yet.… Full Review »
