That’s it, Nintendo Switch Online subscribers can finally enjoy a new addition, and be careful, it’s a great classic for the Game Boy Advance.
As you know, Nintendo Switch Online has a beautiful library full of games that can be described as cult. For example, there have recently been titles like “Mario Golf” and “Mario Tennis” or even “Dr. Mario”. Well, we’ve only used examples revolving around the famous plumber, but you get the point. Of course, Big N’s service doesn’t stop there. So today he benefited from a new addition to his ranks, and that’s no joke. We’re talking about a simply legendary franchise.
A classic of this era is coming to Nintendo Switch Online
Who is our guest today? Well, it is none other than F-Zero Maximum Velocity which we already talked about some time ago. This work may mean nothing to you, but the license is iconic. It’s a true Game Boy Advance classic, now available in the Nintendo Switch Online + Add-on Pack. If we add F-Zero 99, we see the saga opening more and more to new audiences. Of course, you can’t do that with a brand new game, but that’s a win. Who knows, depending on their success, it could encourage the company to plan a sequel after more than 20 years of waiting.
Back to F-Zero Maximum Velocity: The setting is 25 years after the events of the first work. It introduces a new generation of drivers who have to prove themselves. It’s up to you to prove to the galaxy that you are the best in the race aboard your various ships. It won’t be an easy task, but if not, do we really deserve the title of elite? In any case, if you’re new to the franchise you can go in with your eyes closed, it’s a real treat.
As you may have noticed, you need to be a Nintendo Switch Online + Additional Pack subscriber to access it. In this case, you can access it “for free” (the subscription is still paid, so we put it in quotes). But such an addition to the catalog might convince more than one to take the plunge. Especially among the nostalgic among us. Yes, F-Zero Maximum Velocity is from 2001. It doesn’t seem like it, but it’s been a long time since it was released. In short: it’s a great experience that shouldn’t be missed.
What about F-Zero 99?
And then what about F-Zero 99? Final clap? No more updates? Of course not, but first a reminder is necessary. This is the original game from 1990, but with a new version, namely a battle royale in which 99 players can compete against each other online. It is highly valued by members of the community and Nintendo therefore takes good care of it. In any case, a new patch was released, which notably added a new Grand Prix or even driving assistant, “Steer Assist”, in training mode. It is very interesting and we recommend you take a look.
