Burnout Paradise Remastered on Nintendo Switch: Takedowns on the go

It’s been over a decade since I first came to Paradise City for a good, old-fashioned arcade racing carnage, but like a gift I keep giving, Burnout Paradise stretches its legs long after its 2008 debut out. This time developer Stellar Entertainment mixed the acclaimed racing driver Nintendo Switch as part of the ongoing restart of Burnout Paradise Remastered.

Fortunately, Burnout Paradise’s delightful arcade racing charm and addictive gameplay can still be seen, and the Switch may be the best way to experience it all – especially for those who didn’t have the pleasure 12 years ago.

For those who played the game either in its original form or in its remastered format for the game Xbox One, PS4 and PC nothing changes. And like the original revised version of 2018, the game has all the downloadable content from the start, which makes it a very extensive game from the start. Big Surf Island, Cops and Robbers, motorcycles and more are bundled with a single purchase.

If you are a novice, Burnout Paradise Remastered is fully accessible and allows players to choose a path to choose their own adventure from. All types of events, including races, marked man, burning routes, stunt runs, and takedown-oriented road rage, begin with the player turning their tires on one of the hundreds of traffic lights scattered around Paradise City. Showtime Road Rules can still not be compared to the previous crashbreaker mode, but it remains even if you press the L and R keys at the same time. From the open world, players enter every event on the spot. The seamlessness was quite fascinating in 2008 and will continue to be appreciated in 2020.

But the Nintendo Switch really increases the charm factor. Of course, it’s nice to see my Hunter Cavalry turn off a Nakamura Ikusa GT on my TV at high speed, but it’s almost as comfortable, if not more, when I can curl up on the couch and have the action in the palm of my hand . The Switch’s ability to pack everything a game has to offer into its portable form factor is really visible, and I wish Burnout Paradise Remastered for Switch would have been one thing in previous air travel.

The game is certainly not as pretty as its counterparts to PC, PS4 and Xbox One, but 12 years later, that’s not really the point. The freedom to run from my terrace from Paradise City to the Crystal Summit Observatory in the northwestern mountains of the city is the point. It’s about looking for stunts, billboards, and chasing AI racers to conveniently send their cars to the junkyard from the bedroom.

Burnout Paradise and its revised versions have always been good – the Nintendo Switch just does it better.
