    Was hoping for GX remaster but this still seems cool

  2. -MarisaTheCube-

    I feel so sorry for F-Zero fans who waited nearly 20 years for a new installment just to get a battle royale game

  3. RedditUser64

    It’s incredibly underwhelming for anyone who wanted a new game after 20 years, but it’s something

  4. TheRealBissy

    Ngl they got nearly got us at first. Why can’t we get a proper new F-Zero game.

  5. “They call it f-zero because when your energy reaches zero you’re f’d.”

  6. SnooPets630

    Nintendo have a very dark sense of humor saying that they doesn’t touch the series for so long after announcing this

  7. MattisBest

    F Zero returns :O

    As a 99 player battle royale 🙁

  8. That’s not what I was expecting but I’ll take it

  9. Nin10gamer

    I don’t think this is what people had in mind for a new F-Zero game 😂

  10. StudyRoom-F

    Unpopular opinion, this looks awesome.

    Obviously we all wanted a new installment but that desire doesn’t mean this isn’t going to be fun.

    It’s not what I wanted, but it looks fun.

    And it’s a start 🫡

  12. corgi_butt

    Anyone trashing this is a clown, this honestly looks fun as hell

  13. YamumsBum69

    Anyone know what time these usually release when they say “later today”? My brother and I are hyped to jump into this!

  14. I think about all the crazy, amazing things they could do in terms of track design with modern hardware, and it makes me so sad that F-ZERO has been abandoned.

    GX was an awesome game and at the very least I was hoping for some kind of remaster of that.

    Any interest in Fzero by Nintendo is good interest. This is cool as a retro game turned into a battle Royale. Imma play it to show support for the series and try it out. Here’s hoping this is a Federation Force leads to better things.

    F-Zero fans: “We want a new F-Zero game!!!”

    *Monkey’s paw curls*.

  17. UrgotFantasy

    I’ll be real, these free (w/membership) battle royale games nintendo puts out are usually pretty fun so I’ll check this out later for sure

  18. UraniumRocker

    Now I think they’re just fucking with us

  19. Rubengardiner

    Seems like an unpopular opinion here but, I’m ok with this lol. I mean I would prefer f zero GX 99 but Im good with this.

    How do you guys feel about it? I kinda had fun the first couple races, you definitely gotta pay attention to what your boost is at and conserve or you’re screwed in the long run.

  21. Ilhan_Omar_Milf

    I wish it was modeled on f zero x

    I’m sure the Switch could render 99 n64 models at the same time

  22. ToodlesXIV

    As someone who played Death Race more than any other mode in F-Zero X, I’m pretty stoked for this

  23. 5 years ago I said I would pee my pants if nintendo anounces a new F-Zero. My friends have got my message saved. I defended myself when F-zero X released in NSO, as it isn’t a new one. This one is and imagine my disappointment.

  24. ssmike27

    Happy for all the people excited for this, never really been able to get into these 99 games myself

  25. Scruffy_Nerfhearder

    This summed up most of that direct tbh, very underwhelming.

    I think this might be a good thing, if they see enough people want to play this maybe they can find a way for F-Zero to coexist alongside Mario Kart again

  29. SubstantialText

    This looks like some mild fun, but man, F-Zero fans got absolutely trolled with this.

  30. APeacefulWarrior

    After playing for about half an hour, it’s… OK. I could see pulling it out for a few minutes here and there, but it’s so chaotic I didn’t find it all that fun. And the way powerups and challenges are balanced, it’s doing the Mario Kart Wii thing where it wants frontrunners to be punished and for people in the rear to pull last-minute comebacks. Which is only exciting until you notice how artificial it is.

    Spending 90% of the race being pinballed in the middle of the pack, only to use a superboost at the end while praying for some good luck, doesn’t feel particularly compelling for long-term play.

  31. Betorange

    We want a new DK and Fzero game!

    * DK vs Mario and Fzero99 get announced*

    Shit we should have been more specific!

  32. DeadHair_BurnerAcc

    It kinda feels like a “You like F-Zero? Prove it”

  33. infamoustakai

    I’m actually excited to try this. It looks like a whacky and fun time.

  34. Vortexx1988

    I was not expecting this. I enjoy the original F-Zero, looks like this could be fun.

    I miss Super Mario 35, I thought they’d eventually turn it into Super Mario 99.

  35. Comfortable-Ask8525

    This is going to exceed the SNES’ sprite limit.

  36. EducationalShock6312

    Saw ND…was like “F@#$! Another 99 game?!?!”

    Played it…luv it…even when being brutalized to the point of KO on first lap
