The landscape of racing games on Nintendo Switch is poised for an adrenaline-fueled update as Bash Moto, a new title from developer DobOut, prepares to launch.
For fans of classic '90s racing games, Bash Moto is especially noteworthy—paying tribute to the beloved Road Rash franchise, which blended high-speed motorcycle racing with on-track brawling.
With Road Rash long absent from the gaming scene since Road Rash: Jailbreak's 2000 release, Bash Moto stands out as a spiritual successor destined for modern gaming platforms including Nintendo Switch and Steam. Road Rash first made its mark on the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, quickly becoming a best-seller thanks to its innovative combination of arcade racing and hand-to-hand combat.
The franchise expanded to other systems, including the 3DO and PlayStation 1, but drifted into obscurity after Electronic Arts released its final mainline entry over two decades ago.
Aside from a Java mobile adaptation in 2009, Road Rash fans have seen little to no official support, leaving a void in the arcade racing genre. In response, independent developers have stepped forward, seeking to revive the unique thrills of combat racing.
Fans received Road Redemption in 2017—a successful but modest attempt to recapture Road Rash’s legacy.
Now, anticipation is growing for Bash Moto, which is slated for release in the coming year and set to arrive both on Steam and Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo eShop. Bash Moto’s official Steam page sets the tone for the game’s fast-paced experience: "Feel the rush as you zip down the sprawling highways of the American west coast.
Stay alert—every vehicle, pedestrian, and rugged stretch of road could slow your momentum or send you flying.
Sustaining too much damage to your rider or bike spells the end of your race.
Run out of money needed for repairs or bail, and it’s game over." The core gameplay loop—combining high-speed races with risk-laden combat—channels the nostalgia of Road Rash while integrating modern visuals and controls optimized for Nintendo Switch and PC.
Player progression centers on not just racing skills but resource management, as staying in the competition requires careful repair and cash management. By revisiting and reimagining a genre-defining formula, Bash Moto is positioned to attract both retro gaming enthusiasts and a new generation of players seeking dynamic, action-packed racing experiences.
As Nintendo Switch continues to expand its diverse library of indie hits and classic remasters, Bash Moto’s debut is a testament to the enduring legacy of Road Rash—and to the passionate development communities determined to keep these racing legends alive. Stay tuned to official channels for confirmed release dates and digital availability on the Nintendo eShop and Steam.
Bash Moto is more than a nostalgic homage—it’s a fresh, ambitious project reigniting the spirit of combat racing for Nintendo Switch owners and fans worldwide.
