Can I be honest with you guys? I don’t care about F-Zero. Like at all.
The one game that I arguably had played and liked was GX, which seemed to be the common consensus, otherwise I have no string opinions one way or the other across the entire series despite the cool world and characters, it was a series that never really interested me.
So why do I find myself damn near addicted to this game?
F Zero 99 is fun, not without it faults most possibly due to the business model the game adheres to but it’s a fun, addicting, challenging and exhilarating ride.
F Zero 99 was a game that received some flack when it was revealed nearly 3 weeks ago, a direct that while fine had nothing Super note worthy other than that Paper Mario Remake. Of course as a Cing stan I lost my mind over the Another Code remake collection which obviously means Kyle Hyde will return, but too any sane person this was one of the only newer announcements. Reactions were not very good, it was elevated by it being leaked beforehand but the blow still hurt for most fans, and again I did not care. But alongside a thing I was semi excited for and got disappointed I downloaded this on my Switch and to my surprise, I had way too much fun.
This game manages to be incredibly accessible to newcomers while having a ton of depth and nuance to it. The battle royale structure fits F Zero the best out of all these 99 games since there’s a level of feedback there that’s not in any of these other games, it gets a bit chaotic sometimes but on the whole it’s a super fun time trying to survive as a person who usually isn’t a fan of these games, the elimination gimmick isn’t as prevalent as all the other games but there’s a frantic energy and euphoria climbing up the ranks and going fast, feels like an extreme version of bumper cars and I love it.
There are a few issues, due the free to play model, the stage and vehicle selection is quite limited right now, the rotation stuff for Grand Prix and such I don’t really like and is just artificial scarcity for the sake of it, and given it’s a gloried remake of the first game, the graphics aren’t anything to right home about.
But literally my main complaints are just wishing there was more of it, it’s really hard to put into word what makes this game so fun other than it’s fun to go fast, but it’s just fun to go fast. Maybe it’s because of what I played alongside it, but i had a ton of fun with F Zero 99, gonna try and get 1st and maybe even try GX again!

A lot of people demanding a new F-zero have never played any of the games. Just as how so many people demanding a new armored core also never played any of the games (prior to 6 coming out).
I don't mind F-zero but the reverence it's gained over the years from clout chasers has been beyond obnoxious.

@ToasterNinja So true. I think this also goes for a good chunk of people begging for a new Silent Hill game but have never played any of the games except 2 and PT.
Seems like heard mentality to me, like everyone wanted a new F Zero but didn’t understand why or how it would happen, and it when it did albeit with a bit of a caveat it got savaged, but in actuality it’s probably what they wanted lol
