  1. I love F-zero and I cannot put this game down. My favorite is also F-zero X, but right behind that is F-Zero: GP Legend. GPL had some amazing challenges that I felt tested your F-Zero skills the most. Now 99 takes those kills and pits them against other players. It's fantastic.

  2. What I find magical about F-Zero 99 is that getting first place is such a satisfying achievement that feels almost exactly how it felt back in the day playing F-Zero GX beating stuff like the Very Hard Story Mode chapters or Master Class Grand Prix. Precious memories are being relived. This. This is why I've been wanting a new F-Zero and I am happy.

  3. I completely agree, as soon as I saw this I immediately thought of how Miyamoto said they didn't make a new F-Zero game in 20 years because they didn't have any new ideas … well they did it now, they came up with a way to modernize the formula that makes perfect sense.

  4. it is my personal GOTY for now. not FF16, not TOTK, it is THIS. I hope nintendo has a fzero strategy going. fzero99 now, fzero max velocity on NSO as next GBA drop, …. and then hopefully a GX remake or a completely new one.

  5. This game took me right back to when I was 16 and playing fzero to death…..and always hoped for a sequal with 2 player mode but after a 30+ year wait I get something even better ….. my fave 99 download so far on the switch ….and so glad they kept the old snes music and didn't try updating it…. this is pure nostalgia with a modern multiplayer feel… and was free … well kind of lol… totally epic

  6. I like your voice, are you a singer of something?
    Anyway… F-zero 99 is surprising really good and fun… you know I hope mute city 4, big blue 2 and all those from F-zero 2, forest and metal fort(never release ) gets added to F-zero 99, it's a good idea don't you think?

  7. Pacman99 tried too much being like Tetris99, fzero99 didn't need to get changed that much, just a little tweaks for fitting and balancing the amount of players which appears to have been easier due the racing genre.

  8. Far be it from Nintendo to refuse to listen to fans for like 19 years, make them give up all hope of seeing a sequel, then finally finally making another game that seems like no one would want and yet somehow SOMEHOW it turns out to be real fin.

  9. My hope is that Nintendo is using this to test drive F-Zero multiplayer so they can then release a proper next entry in the series… something close to, or better than, F-Zero GX. I've always thought it would be cool if the main grand prix mode had you race against actual people.
