[@InchonDM]

@@chimericalical If I'm being real... this kind of feels like one thing that F-Zero has always, ALWAYS, been designed to aim for.

While there absolutely should be a new conventional ultra-speed racing game released as an F-Zero cornerstone, I think the game's always been calling out for this kind of mach-speed endurance rally mode.

This new trailer looks dope, cant wait to see release in 1990

Never Played F-Zero Before but this is very fun

[@user-wb8iu1hl6i]

Even if you don’t like it, you need to download and play this if you want a real new F-Zero game. This is how they gauge interest

[@MWilmott]

Isn’t that kind of a loaded question though? “Oh, you enjoyed F-Zero GX and you want another game with that style of gameplay? Well, here’s a game from that franchise that only has some of that gameplay and it can only be played online, and if you don’t like it, then you will never get what you actually want.”

[@user-wb8iu1hl6i]

@@MWilmottIt sucks, but thats how it is. It's not like the original F-Zero was a bad game either

[@gmcubed]

In comparison to the 3d games? Or even the later GBA ones? yea, it kind of is. @@user-wb8iu1hl6i

[@MWilmott]

@@user-wb8iu1hl6i I’m not saying it was, but even a re-release of GX with online multiplayer would have been so much more well-received than what we got. I will do my duty as an F-Zero fan and play the heck out of this, but F-Zero deserves far more than this after all this time.

[@patrickhein6986]

I don´t play online so no, I´m not downloading it.

[@frost8077]

Wow, F-Zero actually got something. Could this be a test a run for a future F-Zero game? Before the N64 released, I remember my little self loving the designs and music of F-Zero. Update: I just played F-Zero 99 for over eight hours today and this has to be one of the best things Nintendo has done for a while. It's complete chaos on those tracks!

[@michaelcarson8375]

@frost8077 I'm going to tell you that this game existed in Japan for their SNES in the 90s and there's videos of it you can watch.

[@falcosirrus8620]

I initially started playing this as a side game when i just wanted to play something for a short time but it's addictive and now find myself putting aside more time for a proper session. It's not mentioned in the trailer but there are also Mini Prix and Grand Prix where a number of cars get eliminated in each race with only 20 left in the final race. Plus you can practice the courses against ghost cars of each of the four cars.

Honestly, I'm perfectly fine with Limbo Franchises going in this 99 approach, there's still a chance for me as a massive Star Fox fan!

[@Krillinish2]

I’m mad at myself for not hearing about this till today, December 16.

[@Rubberman202]

Better late than never!

Game is tight with a large playerbase

[@stonysheep4364]

It's the most chaotic racing game on the Switch. And I love it.

[@arcadedude1987]

Just tried this out and its super cool and fits with the theme of F-Zero as well. Awesome surprise!

[@arcadedude1987]

@@astr0sauce I didn't watch the direct, so it caught me off guard when I opened the news feed and saw this. I hope people give it a chance!

Where is F-Zero GX HD with online play? Come on.

[@magnusmights2265]

Honestly i know that f-zero fans may not like this but its definitely getting me as a new player into the series

[@thebomb78]

My God, I wish they'd make a new F-Zero

[@madnessarcade7447]

They just did

[@prosoccer728]

It will sell so bad. The demand isn’t there for these niche games. Just a very vocal minority

​@@madnessarcade7447He mean a REAL new F-Zero game, not some lazy remix of the first title made back in 1990.

[@ssg-eggunner]

​@@prosoccer728if that was the case, you wouldn't have some mf paying millions in stock to ask nintendo about the state of f zero

[@LuigianoMariano]

This is a fun and novel concept. But it still feels like Captain Falcon got a raw deal here.

[@Orez-Suke]

I thought it was a new F-Zero but when I saw the tons of vehicles I just laughed so much, It looks Chaotic Evil but in a funny way

[@bluebaron6858]

Please if anyone has seen it recorded on to VHS the remaining dub episodes of 4kids F-Zero GP Legend English dub adaptation eps 16-26. Please archieve them. They are lost media and may have only aired in New Zealand! Or for Nintendo to stream it on KZbin themselves

[@xRestart]

For a free game this is actually cool. Totally gonna try this game.

[@BruteTigrex21]

Federation force moment

[@silverdamascus2023]

If we had two F-Zero games revealed today, one traditional, the true sequel to F-Zero GX, and this too, we would be praising this. But after 19 years, this is what F-Zero fans get? Fans will get pissed and they are right to complain.

[@agamazofficial]

exactly

[@benhuang2773]

There's nothing wrong with complaining about there not being a true sequel to GX, but I feel like if you're going to direct that at _this game specifically_ then that's basically the equivalent of demanding that other people get paid less as opposed to demanding that you get paid more

[@masonjones5599]

This game is way too much fun and addicted. I'm enjoying this everyday

[@be_rad_]

This goes out to all the other 5 year olds that played fzero gx so much on gamecube and based their personalities for the rest of their lives off of it... We did it, we got another game

[@mawuwus]

Never played an F-ZERO game, but man this is so addictive and so much fun. I need to check out the other games in the franchise.
