Chocobo GP, The Final Fantasy Kart Racer, Races Into A March Release

Chocobo GP will race to the finish in just a few short months. 

You can also race as a Chocobo or your favourite Final Fantasy summon heroes like Terra. Chocobo GP will be available on Switch from March 10th. That’s less than three months away so you might want to brush up on your kart racing skills soon. And if you’re looking for a great way to do that, look no further than Nintendo’s own Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, because Chocobo GP looks very, very similar in almost every regard. 

From the item boxes, err, Magicites, placed throughout the track to the track design and even the way racers drift, Chocobo GP looks very much like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Look, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is arguably the best kart racer out there so it’s not surprising to see another racer take on a similar shape. Plus, if Final Fantasy is more your franchise versus Mario or any of the others highlighted in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, then Chocobo GP might be your new favorite kart racer. 

Today’s March 10 release date news was announced in a release date trailer on the Nintendo UK YouTube channel. It gives us more information about the game including details on its story mode and some characters that we can expect. A series, like other kart racing teams, will have four races. Chocobo GP already has a series in place, but players have the option to create one. 

The trailer also reveals a quick glimpse at a track we’ve not seen before – you can see it around the 1:26 minute mark and it looks like a Final Fantasy spin on Mario Kart Wii’s Moo Moo Meadows. You can also see the Chocobo GP announcement track from earlier.
