Following its November 4th, 2021 release on PC, Zordix, Ravn Studio, Rock Pocket Games, and Invictus Games’ Pinchcliffe Grand Prix has officially launched on the Nintendo Switch! The game is based directly on the 1975 Norwegian film of the same name or also known as Flåklypa Grand Prix and follows the lively racing events that its characters take part in.

It’s worth noting that it’s heavily rumored that the film had actually been the inspiration for George Lucas’ infamous pod-racing scene from Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. That alone is worth checking out if you ask me.

The game features a plethora of different game mechanics that blends a lot of the film’s key moments directly into the players’ experiences. Created as a spiritual successor to the PC and Nintendo DS release of the same name, the game is built from the ground up using Unreal Engine to deliver the best playable experience possible.

Breathtakingly Fast Races

Use various cars from the Pinchcliffe universe and race to the finish line, alone or with a friend in split-screen. But watch out for dirty tricks by the other contestants, or retaliate using your own.
