I was looking at some screen shots and it definitley does look like Gran Turismo. I doubt it has any connection though. I think gt started with ps originally. I would see why they would start on Nintendo and switch.
the reason I thought it did is because I remember (back in the day) hearing people state that the Gran Turismo series came from that.
Whether its true or not... I was trying to find out... to either prove or kill the rumor.
