Fling to the Finish Races onto Nintendo Switch: Release Date, Features, and eShop Discount

Fling to the Finish, an innovative cooperative racing game developed by SplitSide Games and published by Daedalic Entertainment, is officially launching on the Nintendo Switch on September 4.

This upcoming release brings the title’s chaotic, rope-tethered gameplay to a new audience, following successful early access experiences on other platforms.

With its arrival on Nintendo’s hybrid handheld-console, Fling to the Finish sets itself apart from traditional racing games and platformers with its collaborative mechanics and energetic local and online competition. What Makes Fling to the Finish Stand Out? In Fling to the Finish, teams of two players—each tethered together by a stretchy elastic rope—navigate a series of vibrant and unpredictable obstacle courses.

The unique physical connection means that coordination and communication are essential, often leading to hilarious mishaps as partners get their rope snagged on level hazards.

However, as partners build their teamwork, the rope evolves from an obstacle into their greatest strength, allowing for gravity-defying swings, dynamic flings over gaps, and cooperative stunts unmatched in other platforming games. SplitSide Games has emphasized the game’s accessible but deep cooperative gameplay.

According to statements from the developer, mastery of the rope enables experienced players to execute advanced maneuvers, rewarding skillful collaboration and creative problem solving.

Local or online multiplayer options ensure players can enjoy the action however they prefer, from split-screen couch competition to remote matchmaking. Diverse Tracks and Dynamic Challenges Fling to the Finish offers a variety of imaginative courses, ranging from floating parks and massive casinos to asteroid fields crawling with giant worms.

Each level introduces fresh challenges and encourages inventive use of the rope’s mechanics.

The tracks themselves evolve mid-race, ensuring every session feels distinct and demanding.

Competitive elements are heightened by the ability to attack rivals, using fun power-ups like plungers, falling weights, and lasers to even the odds and keep races thrilling until the finish line. A Notably Unique Feature: Controller Sharing Further highlighting its cooperative design, Fling to the Finish allows two players to share a single controller—a physical manifestation of the in-game connection.

This feature is especially suited for local multiplayer on Nintendo Switch, reinforcing the lighthearted, bond-building gameplay the title is known for. Release Date, Pricing, and Pre-Order Details Fling to the Finish lands on Nintendo Switch on September 4, 2024.
