SNES Series From the 90s Making a Comeback in 2025

As a child of the 90s, I can vividly remember the excitement that filled my heart whenever a new game from the SNES era was released. From Super Mario to Final Fantasy, those were the days when gaming felt like a magical adventure. And now, it’s 2025 and one of those forgotten gems is making a comeback – Tokyo Xtreme Racer! I remember playing Shutoko Battle ’94 on an emulator back in the day, and the thrill of racing through futuristic Tokyo was unmatched.


In the year 2025, there’s an unexpected resurgence of a classic video game series from the 1990s, specifically Tokyo Xtreme Racer which first appeared in 1994. This was a time when console gaming was relatively new and not as widespread. Games like Final Fantasy VI, Donkey Kong Country, Super Metroid, DOOM II, Daytona USA, Tekken, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, X-COM: UFO Defense, NBA Jam, Ace Driver, Earthworm Jim, and others were also released that year. Interestingly, many Japanese games didn’t reach Europe and North America back then, and Tokyo Xtreme Racer was one of them. Despite its popularity in Japan, it didn’t make a significant impact in the west. The series went dormant in 2006, but there were only two mobile releases in 2011 and 2017 to break the silence. However, starting from 2025, this is changing.

Hey gaming buddies! I’ve been a dedicated fan of the racing series since its early days back in the late ’90s, and I can tell you that today’s news has me absolutely thrilled! After an 18-year hiatus, we’re finally getting a brand new game in the series! The last time we had a fresh installment was when I was still in high school. Can you believe it?

To clarify, this release has been categorized as a console racing game, implying that console adaptations might be underway, though they may not be available at launch due to development delays. Alternatively, it could potentially be designed for the rumored Switch 2 console, explaining why only PC is currently mentioned. At present, all we can do is speculate about these possibilities.

As a gaming enthusiast, I’m excited to share that I’ve got my eyes on the upcoming racing game, Tokyo Xtreme Racer! Set in a future Tokyo, this game offers an immersive experience where you can race your customized vehicles on intricate city highways. The goal? To climb the ranks and become the fastest driver. Prepare for intense rivalries, close calls as you dodge other cars, and heart-pounding battles. With its unique appeal, Tokyo Xtreme Racer is a series not to be missed. Keep an eye out for more updates on this highly anticipated title!

Of course, don’t hesitate to share your thoughts with us here or you can connect with me on Twitter @Tyler_Fischer_. I wonder if you plan to watch the re-run of that iconic ’90s series when it comes back on air next year?
