This is SO CRAZY AND INTENSE!! OUR FIRST F-Zero 99 Race!
46When Nintendo announced F-Zero 99 for the Nintendo Switch, I know a lot of people were disappointed. The series has been missing since the Gamecube era, and it is a beloved franchise. Many people were hoping, and leaks seemed to indicate, that we were going to get a new F-Zero Game announced in the September 2023 Nintendo Direct. Instead, they announced F-Zero 99, a battle royale game similar to Mario 99 or Tetris 99. Would this be lame? Would it be awesome? Well, let's just say this is so crazy and intense. Let's take a look at our first F-Zero 99 Race experience.
Before you can play online you have to go through a few different tutorials, first against 25 cars, then 50, and finally 99 against computer opponents. I was able to win the first two races and finished 3rd in the final one. With these training wheels out of the way it was time to sit down, strap in, and hang on!
From the start, I was behind the 8-ball as I got a terrible start and did not get going well. I also picked the car with the worst acceleration and best top speed, so it took me forever to get up and moving. I was in 99th, welp!
After a few corners, I was up to 97th, then 92nd, 89th, and higher. With so many cars on track, it was hard not to bounce off of competitors and take damage. On the 3rd lap I managed to get the secret passage above the regular track and pass a ton of competitors. I was finally moving up. Until I wasn't.
I kept bouncing into other cars and into the walls, which caused me more and more damage. Then, I bounced one time too many and BOOM, my car exploded while I had just moved into the top-60. I was bummed but also determined to play more and get better.
I can see the appeal of F-Zero 99! It's absolutely crazy, crazy awesome that is! Would I have preferred a traditional F-Zero game? Well yeah. The series deserves it, and Nintendo has removed these 99 games after some time. I'm going to be bummed when this is gone, but I will play and love it while it is still here!
