Ever since the classic Playstation character, Spyro the Dragon, released a remastered edition of its first three games, players have been blessed with some of the best recreations of video games' most iconic characters. Following another remastered release of Crash Bandicoot (that would later allow for a long-awaited fourth installment), another hit game also released for current-gen consoles titled Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled.
Following the trend of kart racing games made famous by Mario Kart, CTR was one of the best attempts at this type of game genre and featured a huge list of characters and some awesome tracks. Nitro-Fueled decided to take some of the game's best aspects and give it a fresh look and even more characters while making sure it is just as challenging as the original.
The Nintendo Switch has been in a very giving mood this holiday season and has decided to offer up a once in a blue moon opportunity that can't be missed. For only a few days, players will be able to play CTR: Nitro-Fueled for free as a trial version! This trial will also feature both local and multiplayer modes!
With guaranteed fun for the whole family, Nitro-Fueled being available for free is the best trial period to decide whether or not it is worthy of your game collection (spoilers: it really is). We would love to hear your thoughts on the news in the comments below!
On Dec 30 at 11 AM PT until Jan 5 at 11:59 PM PT, #NintendoSwitchOnline members can trial the full version of Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, including local + online multiplayer!

Like the original Crash Team Racing, Nitro-Fueled is a racing game featuring characters from the Crash Bandicoot series. Players must avoid obstacles and navigate the various tracks to reach the finish line, performing boosts via power sliding and jumping to gain speed, and using power-ups scattered across the track to give themselves a boost or hinder their opponents. The game supports local quick races and grand prix circuits, multiple battle modes, and online multiplayer, as well as featuring a full adventure mode with new areas, characters and boss battles being unlocked as the player progresses.
Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled's full trial version will be available to play from December 30th to January 5th!
