NACON and KT Racing have released TT Isle of Man – Ride on the Edge 2 on Nintendo Switch, for $59.99. In TV or handheld mode, ride in the world’s most iconic motorcycling race with the official game.
In TT Isle of Man – Ride on the Edge 2, you ride the roads of the Snaefell Mountain course, where the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy has been contested for over a century. The Isle of Man TT course is very different from a classic circuit. The route is full of imperfections and includes fast corners, tight bends and long straights where riders can exceed speeds of 186 mph (300 kmh)! TT Isle of Man – Ride on the Edge 2 faithfully recreates the demanding course of this legendary race in which unerring anticipation is the key to victory.
TT Isle of Man – Ride on the Edge 2 takes realism to new heights, including improved bike physics, wear and tear of various parts, and inclusion of official TT bikes and riders. KT Racing worked closely with two professional riders to help meet the high expectations of players: Julien Toniutti, the fastest French rider in the TT; and Davey Todd, ranked second in the game’s worldwide leaderboards and the second fastest newcomer of all time in the real race.
To prolong the fun, explore a new area, a true biker’s paradise: the ideal place to adjust your bike’s set-up and attempt a variety of challenges like pursuits and time attacks. In addition, the redesigned Career mode offers each player the chance to move from amateur rider to winner of the Senior TT! Choose the teams you want to race with over the seasons, customize your bikes, plan your calendar and manage your career to win the ultimate accolade.

TT Isle of Man 2 isn’t going to be for everyone because it delivers a challenge where endurance and focus are going to be the main attributes you need to succeed. Not everyone will want to commit to something like that. For myself, I was able to embrace that challenge and accept it for what it is. TT Isle of Man 2 is a licensed endurance racer that can be incredibly hard at times, and it’s full of nuances that make it difficult to master. However, it is easier and more accessible than the first game.
There is a steep challenge built inside this game, but the payoff is well worth the price of admission. If you have any interest at all in something like that, then adding TT Isle of Man 2 to your rotation is an excellent choice.
