MX vs ATV All Out Switch NSP Free Download The first of a long-running series to come to Nintendo Switch, ported at the start of September following an earlier PS4 and Xbox One release, MX vs ATV All Out might very well scratch the itch that some have for speeding offroad across dirt tracks and through dunes in authentic, ‘motocrossover’ action. While the performance and visuals take the dirt track rather than the smooth road, it’s a competent port that gets the job done for playing on the go. Getting started, the game drops you right into a wide-open ‘hub-world’ of sorts, allowing you to freely ride around, tackle tutorials at your own pace, and generally get to grips with the huge variety of camera angles and control nuances as you rev to your heart’s content over terrain.

It’s something that the MX vs ATV games have done in the past, and it’s a great way to ease the player into a racing game that can feel quite different from your average kart racer at times. Once you’ve got to grips with the basics, there are a ton of different modes and events you can take part in, from Supercross, to Opencross, to Waypoint races, or even Tony Hawk-style Freestyle events, where you’ll have to rack up as many points as possible in a certain time limit by doing tricks. The events are quite varied, and are also quite variable in difficulty, too. I found myself breezing through the waypoint races, for example, only to get absolutely thrashed when it came to the harsh corners in the more traditional arena motocross events.

Customisation is off the bike chain in MX vs ATV,

It gets so granular at points (allowing you to change colours on bike grips and breaks etc.) that you can’t even see what you’re changing with the downgraded Switch visuals. You can fully rig out your rider in a ton of outfits and colours, tweak your vehicles (and buy new vehicles entirely – Bikes, Quads and UTV’s), and even programme the AI riders in a bunch of different ways, personalising your competition even further. Ported over from console and PC, MX vs ATV All Out takes an expected performance hit on the Switch. It’s not a very elegant transition either, with textures looking muddy and ugly by today’s standards.  Load times are reminiscent of another era, audio glitches here and there can be a bit jarring, and framerates leave something to be desired in 2020.

That being said, aside from a bit of slow down at times when you get clumped up with other racers, the gameplay is consistent in both handheld and docked modes. There are also some impressive features that can be fun to play around with, such as a photo mode, and the ability to shift the perspective on-the-fly, from a thrilling first-person perspective to an effective drone camera view. Overall, the Switch version of MX vs ATV All Out is a competent port, even if it does feel like the specs have just been dialled back. However, with an expected performance hit and none of the additional DLC included to make this a ‘definitive’ version, it’s hard to recommend if you are able to play on PlayStation or Xbox.

There are several different types of race disciplines in the game,

Ranging from closed circuits through to large open areas that involve driving across rough terrain. The former are often the most fun, featuring numerous vehicle types and some really varied terrain to battle with. Tussling with other drivers for first, second and third can be a lot of fun, although it can feel a little unfair when a car launches you off your bike. There are also trick events, in which players can manipulate their bike and body in order to pull off flashy tricks to score points. This was probably the most enjoyable mode for me as there’s a real joy to be found in linking tricks together and building a solid run across many of the ramps. PBA Pro Bowling 2021 Switch NSP

Between races, players can explore a large hub area filled with collectibles and jumps to play around with. It’s a great way for players to get to grips with the games controls and physics without the pressure of being in a race. The collectibles also provide an added element of challenge as they can be quite difficult to reach. Unfortunately, MX vs ATV All Out is not a good looking game. It sports visuals that sit somewhere between the resolution of this genre and the texture quality of last gen and the one before that. Grass, trees and mud all look washed out with a dynamic resolution that looks like it drops quite a bit below 720p at points.

Fan of the game showing all of the DLC races in the event selection screen.

Even when the original was released on PS4 and Xbox One in 2018. Many of the reviews complained about how washed out and drab the visuals look, and while a port to Switch was unlikely to dramatically overhaul the graphics, it’s a shame that no effort has been made here to try to rectify those complaints. It’s one of the poorest examples of what the Nintendo Switch is capable of. I’m also not a fan of the game showing all of the DLC races in the event selection screen. You actually have to scroll past them to get to the playable races and that just sits wrong with me. That’s before you consider that there has been an Anniversary Edition release on PS4 and Xbox One that bundled some of the DLC expansions. Power Pro Kun Pocket R Switch NSP

First things first, this is definitely a game for those people who consider themselves Motocross fans. The game features numerous professional riders, official brands, recognisable tracks and just about everything else a fan of the sport would need, all in one package. The bikes and riders are incredibly detailed with lots of customisation options and upgrades to boot, giving fans plenty of options to get stuck into. All Out lets players control both the bike and the weight of the rider through the left and right analog sticks. Shift the right the stick left and the rider will lean to the left, and vice versa. It’s a neat system which enables players to shift their weight when going around contenders, helping to maintain both speed and control.
