F-Zero 99!

This would be AMAZING. The huge jumps would be absolutely hilarious explosion fests.

I don't know if F-Zero fans are really excited or if they feel like Nintendo is just trolling them at this point

Played a bunch tonight. Best ranks are 2 & 4. I finished in 1st place on my team in a team battle as well.

Im really digging it. And hopefully, theyre using this to garner some interest in an actual new F-Zero game (one can hope)

Eh it's kinda fun. I've never played an F-Zero for more than a minute, but this one is pretty straightforward. The opening area where all the racers are lined up is pretty hype and kinda funny, too.

I got 2nd once and in one race I spent a good while in 1st before eventually dropping to the 30s lol. It's funny how quickly things can turn around for better or worse.

I should start paying more attention to 99 games. This is the first one I've actually played and it's from the first one of them to be based on a series I've never played lol.

Oh man you didn't play Mario 35? That shit was so addictive

Yeah I should have. I definitely knew about it and heard people liked it, but I guess I was never quite in the mood.

As long as you somewhat enjoy the genre itself, just try out these 99 games if you have the chance.

It's nothing to play for a long time anyways, but getting a good placement just feels so rewarding, if you think about the 90+ people you put behind.

Doesn't matter if F-Zero, Tetris or anything else.

It feels like someone wished on a Monkeys Paw for a new F-Zero.

How are you handling sharp turns? I'm still toying between braking, letting go of gas, and drifting I guess with the strafe buttons like MK.

Letting go of gas during drifting is very important, but how and when to do it heavly depends on the car you use.

Yeah I need to play with different cars. Been Blue Falconing since I'm a basic bitch, but it really feels having a heavier car can be an advantage with barreling through the pack.

Is there a brake button? B = Gas, A = Turbo, L/R = Drift, ZL/ZR = Spin

To break you just let go of the accelerator. The tutorial tells you this too.

Pro tip: everyone go into the options menu and look at the game tips. There's more in there the game doesn't tell you at all like how jumps reset your spin

I don't think so. Who uses the brake button in racing games anyway? >_>

I do, in the Mario Karts that let you negate banana peels with brakes. Which I think is just 64 and Super Circuit. zzz

I concur with this. Another thing they don't tell you is that KOing cars increases your power meter (up to 3 times I think?) and when you KO another player, it refills your power meter

Yeah I managed to KO someone with like no health and went back to full. It gave me a huge boost since the game really is about maintaining your health throughout the races.

I only played a little last night, but I quickly noticed that each press of A gives you a preset amount of boost, kind of like a mushroom in Mario Kart. You don't have to hold A the whole time like in regular F-Zero games.

KOing in general is extremly satisfying too.

And in the last round / last curve many people go all in and blow up in the gamble.

Ok I see. My first F-Zero game was X and it wasn't like that. I still play it from time to time.
