Today Disney fans were treated to a first look at a new racing game known as Disney Speedstorm. The game was announced during February's Nintendo Direct, which showcased several new titles that will be releasing soon for the Nintendo Switch.
Racing games have become a staple for the various gaming platforms, but the most iconic Nintendo racing game is Mario Kart, which was also featured in the Direct due to the announcement that 48 courses are coming to Mario Kart 8 in the form of DLC. Disney is no stranger to video games either. The most notable appearance of Disney characters in video games is Kingdom Hearts, which mashes the world of Disney with Final Fantasy. Throughout the game, players meet up with different Disney characters, including King MIckey. There have also been many Disney films adapted to video games over the years, each one with its own style.

Disney Speedstorm was showcased during today's Nintendo Direct and fans were given a first look at what to expect from the game. Disney Speedstorm looks similar to Mario Kart, largely due to its status as an arcade-style kart racer, as opposed to a more realistic racing simulator like Forza. During the showcase, tracks based on franchises like Pirates of the Caribbean and Monsters Inc. were displayed. Each character is going to have special moves and power-ups which will allow them to get ahead of the rest. While there was no mention of how these power-ups are received, in the preview it looked like there might be icons that players drive through in order to collect them. Fans could see Mickey Mouse conducting a symphony, Sulley using his scare tactics, and Mulan throwing explosives.
