Parking Garage Rally Circuit could get ported to the Nintendo Switch and Sega Saturn

Forthcoming arcade racing game Parking Garage Rally Circuit is coming to PC (via Steam) later this year, but there’s a chance of it coming to certain consoles.

Announced today, game developer Walaber stated the game will get ported to the Nintendo Switch if it sells 50,000 copies. A Sega Saturn port will be unlocked if the title sells 100,000 copies.

Walaber, who has live development streams on Twitch, said this about the potential ports for the Saturn-inspired game:

“Whenever I post about the game on social media, I get a lot of feedback from people that they’d like a Switch version and they’d like me to fully lean into the SEGA Saturn inspirations and release a Saturn version. Bringing Parking Garage Rally Circuit to Switch would be amazing and I’d love nothing more than to create a SEGA Saturn version - it’s a console that I dearly love! I’m a solo dev, however, so making these kinds of commitments aren’t easy for me, but I’ve decided to announce that if you buy it, I’m going to do it! If the game sells 50,000 copies, I’ll make a Switch version and if the game hits 100,000 copies sold, I’ll make that Saturn version too!”

A synopsis for Parking Garage Rally Circuit reads:

Parking Garage Rally Circuit is an arcade racer where you drift around parking garages using tight controls and chainable Mario Kart-style boosts. The “Parking Garage Rally Circuit” tour takes you across parking garages all over the US, transformed into race courses (and occasionally beset by the odd falling rock or lighting strike, but don’t worry about that). Designed to look, feel and sound like a lost Sega Saturn game that could have been released in 1998, Parking Garage Rally Circuit delivers delightfully fun time trial racing that’s easy to pick up and play but requires skill to master as you unlock new car classes and compete to top the leaderboards.

Parking Garage Rally Circuit can be wishlisted on Steam right now here. A gameplay trailer for the title can be seen here.
