    Forsaking weapons for furiously fast racing, this is a worthy stand-in - not usurper - to F-Zero GX. [Feb 2016, p.80]

    With Fast Racing Neo, Shin'en signs a good playable tribute to F-Zero. Even if it has some flaws, it's a perfect occasion for all the fans to have good speed sensations before the master comes back in a modern Nintendo console near you.

    It's a futuristic racer for gamers who are serious about their racing, even when we hit the future at over 300 miles per hour.

    FAST Racing NEO is definitely a good racing game for Wii U that tests players' skills with a strange, and not customizable, control setting. Buy it only if you love challenges and zero-g racing games.

    It certainly looks the part, but although this never plays quite as well as F-Zero GX it’s close enough that most fans will forgive its lack of refinement.

    Even at maximum velocity it fails to stir the blood like the games to which it's most indebted. [Feb 2016, p.120]
