Dirt Racing Bundle 4 in 1 is a Compilation containing four Racing games released on Nintendo Switch from in 2017 to 2021, with this bundle releasing on Nintendo Switch in 2026.

I have separately reviewed these games. Here is what I thought of each of the games in this collection:

GameGenre# of PlayersScore
Rally Rock ‘N RacingArcade Racing1-4 Competitive (Local Split-Screen)C
tl;drRally Rock ‘N Racing is an Arcade-style Racing game that’s only partly a rally-style Racing game. This is largely a decent but unspectacular entry in the genre – it’s flawed, but not in any way that outright ruins the game, and the gameplay is okay, but doesn’t really stand out in any way.
Rock ‘N Racing Off Road DXTop-Down Racing1-4 Competitive (Local)F
tl;drRock ‘N Racing Off Road DX is a Top-Down Racing game in the same vein as Super Off-Road. Unfortunately, the controls here are broken beyond recognition, making it less a race against other vehicles and more of a struggle with your own vehicle. Do not buy this game.
Speed Truck RacingArcade Racing1-4 Competitive (Local Split-Screen)D+
tl;drSpeed Truck Racing is an Arcade-style Racing game that has players racing trucks on a strange combination of Nascar-style tracks and dirt-covered tracks. This game isn’t without its positive points, and it does make improvements over its predecessor, Speedway Racing, but the core gameplay here is still terribly broken, and this combined with the game’s aggressive checkpoint system sap all the fun out of the experience.
WildTrax RacingArcade Racing1-4 Competitive (Local Split-Screen)D
tl;drWildTrax Racing is an Arcade Racing game where players take 4×4 vehicles out on off-road courses. Unfortunately, the game has a serious lack of content, the single-player gameplay isn’t very compelling, and the multiplayer mode is crippled by horrendous graphical issues. I struggle to see any reason to play this game at all.

In short, almost all of these games are absolutely terrible, with the sole exception being Rally Rock ‘N Racing… which is merely mediocre. Not exactly a winning combination of games.

Can it be saved by presenting a value package? Well, the individual games sell for a combined total of $38 on the eShop, while the bundle sells for $25, saving $13 off the combined price. While that seems pretty good, this bundle looks worse once you look at the sale prices and realize that the individual games frequently go on sale for $2 each, while this bundle’s best sale as of this writing puts it at $10, making it more expensive.

So three bad games and one mediocre one, at a bad price. Even if you like Racing Games, I think you can see how you’d want to steer yourself somewhere else. Don’t buy Dirt Racing Bundle 4 in 1.

tl;dr – Dirt Racing Bundle 4 in 1 is a Compilation containing the Racing games Rally Rock ‘N Racing, Rock ‘N Racing Off Road DX, Speed Truck Racing, and WildTrax Racing. All of these games range from mediocre to bad (and they’re mostly bad), and the bundle’s pricing is terrible. Do not get this.

Grade: D-
