Two Upcoming F-Zero Games Join Nintendo Switch Online’s GBA Library
Get ready for a high-octane racing experience as Nintendo Switch Online prepares to add two classic F-Zero games to its Game Boy Advance (GBA) library. “F-Zero – GP Legend” and “F-Zero Climax” will be available for download on October 11, 2024, exclusively for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers.
F-Zero – GP Legend: Intergalactic Racing Extravaganza
Race through the cosmos against the galaxy’s fiercest pilots in “F-Zero – GP Legend.” Take control of high-speed plasma-powered machines and navigate treacherous tracks, using your skills to boost, bump, and jump your way to victory. Compete in Grand Prix or Story modes, unlock additional modes and characters, and prove your worth as the ultimate intergalactic racer.
F-Zero Climax: Pushing Driving Limits to the Extreme
Previously exclusive to Japan, “F-Zero Climax” is finally making its way to Western shores. Prepare to push your racing abilities to the max in this 2004 sci-fi racing game. Race against 23 hover cars in GRAND PRIX mode, challenge your limits in TIME ATTACK, or put your reflexes to the test in SURVIVAL races with unique rule sets. Utilize the game’s built-in track editor to create your own custom tracks and save up to 30 original courses for an endless racing experience.
This update also coincides with a new update for “F-Zero 99,” the battle royale racer available on Nintendo Switch Online. The update adds five new tracks from the Super Famicom “F-Zero” game’s Japanese-only Satellaview version. Practice these tracks in Practice Mode and prepare for intense races in the new ACE LEAGUE Grand Prix. Two of the new tracks feature a challenging storm gimmick that reduces visibility, adding an extra layer of excitement to the competition.
Mark your calendars for October 11, 2024, and get ready to experience the high-stakes world of F-Zero on your Nintendo Switch. With the addition of “F-Zero – GP Legend” and “F-Zero Climax,” the GBA library on Nintendo Switch Online continues to grow, offering an ever-expanding collection of classic games to enjoy.
