While hordes of fans are hoping Nintendo will revive the F-Zero license, we learn that the N64 opus will be coming to the Switch. as part of Nintendo Switch Online.
The game that many elders sent on the N64 is therefore making its comeback via the Nintendo Switch Online add-on catalogue. Remember that this online service offers access to online games for a tithe of $19.99 per year, as well as a selection of NES and SNES games. The additional pack (Expansion Pack in the original version) doubles the bill (yes, you have to pay back $19.99 per year), but allows us access to some of the best games in the Nintendo 64 catalogue.
F-Zero X: the return of the king!
We can enjoy classics like Super Mario 64, Banjo Kazooie, Zelda Majora’s Mask or the mythical The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, while titles from the SEGA Mega Drive should even arrive. F-Zero X will therefore join this list of titles in just two days from March 11th! As always, this is neither a remake nor a remaster, but a stupid and nasty port.
Switch: a ported console?
Too bad for fans of the series who since 2004 (and the release of F-Zero: GP Legend and F-Zero: Climax on GBA) have been waiting for a new work and have to settle for an N64 game. If you never got your hands on the license and for you Captain Falcon is above all a Super Smash Bros. character, we remind you that this is a high-speed racing game whose first work was released on SNES in 1990. The series has also been quite an influence on Psygnosis, which released a rival game in 1995. It’s kind of a wipeout.
For the occasion, Nintendo therefore invites us to discover a nice trailer that shows nostalgia to the fullest and shows us some game modes.There we learn, among other things, that it will be possible to enjoy multiplayer races online.
