Japanese publisher 3goo, acclaimed for its releases such as Gear.Club and WRC Generations on Nintendo platforms, has officially announced its newest venture into the high-speed world of arcade-style racing.
Titled 4PGP: Four-Player Grand Prix, the game is scheduled for release on February 5, 2026, and aims to capture the essence of classic 90s racing with a modern twist for both Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. Emphasizing pick-up-and-play simplicity, 4PGP: Four-Player Grand Prix stands out with its streamlined, intuitive controls and clean, straightforward visuals.
The development team is pushing technical boundaries, with 4PGP on Nintendo Switch 2 set to feature impressive 4K resolution and a smooth 120 frames per second performance, harnessing a custom-built engine for optimal gameplay. Industry veterans have lent their talents to the game, promising authenticity and nostalgia for racing fans.
Kenji Sasaki, famed for his seminal work on Ridge Racer and Sega Rally, has contributed to track design, ensuring that each circuit offers both challenge and excitement.
Additionally, celebrated composer Tomoyuki Kawamura, known for the soundtracks of Sega Rally and Virtua Racing, brings his musical expertise to deliver an energetic, era-appropriate score. 4PGP promises accessibility for all players, with four difficulty levels—Rookie, Novice, Veteran, and Expert—plus an Assist Mode catering to younger or less experienced gamers.
The multiplayer emphasis is evident, as the game supports up to four players in split-screen multiplayer, making it a standout choice for local gaming sessions.
GameShare functionality allows friends to race together locally on both Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 systems, while online multiplayer and voice communication (GameChat) is supported exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2. The game features several modes to suit a variety of play styles, including Quick Race for immediate action, Championship Mode for a tournament-style progression, and Time Attack for those chasing leaderboard dominance.
Players can look forward to unlocking up to 14 distinct circuits and a fleet of 19 cars as they progress through the game. 3goo has set competitive pricing for 4PGP: Four-Player Grand Prix, launching at $19.99 on Nintendo Switch and $24.99 for the enhanced Nintendo Switch 2 edition via the Nintendo eShop. With its throwback charm, enhanced visuals, and robust multiplayer options, 4PGP is quickly becoming one of the most anticipated racing titles for Nintendo platforms.
