Lifespeed is a sci-fi arcade shooter-racer developed by Wee Man Studios and released for Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS in 2017. Players pilot a craft through high-speed tunnel courses while simultaneously engaging enemy opponents in combat, blending racing mechanics with shooter action. The game is set against a galactic backdrop, with each race framed as a battle for survival rather than a straightforward competition. The tunnel-based environments provide a fast, enclosed setting that keeps the action focused and intense. The combination of speed, navigation, and combat requires players to manage both their positioning on the track and their engagement with rival craft at the same time, giving the game a dual-layered challenge that distinguishes it from conventional racing titles in the 3DS library.
One thousand years ago, a Great War threatened to engulf the galaxy. The United Government was formed to stop the impending Armageddon. Now there is a new threat called Lifespeed. Instead of war, disputes about resources and survival are settled on the track. Each rider is forced to compete for their planet's survival and for the chance to become Archon. You are Cypher Reid.
