After being revealed last October, publisher QUByte Interactive has today announced that the Top Racer Collection will no longer be coming to Switch later this month, but will instead be returning to the pit lane until 7th March 2024.
The collection comprises the three SNES titles in the Top Gear series (albeit with the licence-free ‘Top Racer’ title) — Top Gear, Top Gear 2 and Top Gear 3000 — and also includes a series crossover with Horizon Chase, Top Gear Crossroads.
All of this was set to come our way on 11th January, but QUByte has made the decision to delay the collection so that it can “enhance the experience for everyone and refine all the classic and exclusive modes”. While it’s never nice to see a delay, we’d much rather see a game taken to the garage for an extra few weeks then sent out to the track in an unfit state — and a push of two months is hardly the most drastic that we have seen.
You can check out some of the upcoming collection’s features as well as a handful of screenshots in the following from the publishers:
