    Got this game for $21! Best Buy makes picking it up a breeze too! Their curbside pick up works great and I would definitely recommend it for the time being. The game runs smooth and looks great on the switch! It actually keeps up with the current gen versions!

    A thrilling racing game with stunning graphics and fast-paced action. The car customization is fun, and the open-world environment adds variety. The story is simple, but the exciting races and cop chases make it a blast to play. Perfect for racing fans!

    Despite being on a handheld console, the game maintains surprisingly solid graphics, capturing the classic essence of the series. The intuitive controls make for an enjoyable on-the-go gaming experience. While it may not reach the visual heights of other platforms, the sheer fun factor cements it as a classic addition to your Switch library.

    I am impressed on how good the graphics look on docked & undocked modes. I was trying to decide if getting the xbox one version would be the better choice but I am glad how well it runs on the switch. My only gripe is it's one of those titles that wants an internet connection before you play, There may be a setting within the game options to turn this off but I couldn't find it, my work around solution was to turn on airplane mode on the switch to bypass it.

    Fun game, the remaster looks great but there are a couple of performance hitches here and there as seems to be common with most Switch ports. Don't expect it to run buttery smooth but you can get 30fps most of the time. Being able to take cat/mouse racer like Hot Pursuit on the go is worth the trade off though. I mainly just play the single player missions chasing people down and running from the cops. I haven't messed with the online, but the game is fun. Keep in mind this is an arcade style racer, not a simulator. It's going to be easier for most people to play but doesn't require quite as much skill to master the driving techniques.

    Need for Speed on Switch

    There hasn't been a Need for Speed title on a Nintendo console since Most Wanted in 2012 (which was a great port, better than the 360 and PS3). But prior to that Nintendo had had weaker hardware and primarily motion controllers for the Nintendo Wii entries. This PS3/360/PC title was great when I played it on PS3 (at 720p/30fps) but now runs at 1080p/30fps on Switch. The controls are great and it plays well especially on the Pro controller. I also picked it up on the Xbox One for the series X where it will play at upto 4K 30fps or 1080p/60fps. Unfortunately it released right before next gen consoles so it hasn't been patched (and likely won't be) to play on them where it could easily run at 4K/60fps or possibly 1080p/120fps. Still the game runs great on Switch whether docked or on the go. Hopefully future entries in the series also make their way to Nintendo's consoles.

    Playing this on my new OLED switch and love it. One of the best switch games for graphics, great sense of speed. Stunning cars and very fun. It’s an arcade racer, not a simulation, but still challenging

    While this game isn’t as customizable as other games into the series it still is a fun throw back. If you play in handheld the short cutscenes before races do have a bit of bug in where they either don’t probably render or flicker. But its still a smooth gameplay experience, fun crossplay, sadly no cross progression so if you also play on another platform you will have to start all the way from scratch which will b annoying especially if you grinded this game

    Games just as, if not more than, fun as I remember from way back when(with some major upgrades of course). Delivery arrived a couple days early which was just about the best surprise. Everything was exactly as described and not only would I use the Best Buy service again, I already have. Definitely recommended 10/10.
