<p>Self-proclaimed Prime Minister of Australia Oscar Brittain and also the creator of <strong><a class="external" href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/desert_child">Desert Child</a></strong> has revealed his upcoming Switch eShop release – published by Akupara Games – will be available on 11th December.</p>
<p>This racing game, containing RPG elements, has you speeding about on vintage hoverbikes as you attempt to escape from planet Earth before it explodes. In between races, you’ll eat ramen, deliver pizzas, sell gun parts for money and repair and customise your bike. The title draws inspiration from anime-hits Cowboy Bebop, Redline and Akira.</p>
<p>Having been developed down under, there are seemingly a number of references to local culture. This includes the addition of Aussie hip-hop in the game’s soundtrack and lines of dialogue comprised of Australian slang. Take a look at the original Switch announcement trailer below to get a better idea of what this game is all about:</p>
