Recently we’ve seen a host of great games released, withStarfieldandEa Sports FC 24a couple of the biggest titles. But I have to admit I haven’t played as much of them as I’d like, and that’s all down to thefree game Nintendo releasedearlier this month that rebooted my childhood. And it’s set to get even better.
F-Zero 99is an ingenious take on the classic racing franchise that I just can’t put down. The first game in the series for 20 years is a battle-royale racing hybrid that sees 99 players race (and fight) to be the first over the line. Did I mention it’s free? And free from pesky microtransactions.
The one criticism that I think could be reasonably levelled at the game is that it’s a little bit light on content, but that feels like looking a gift horse in the mouth. Nintendo has got us covered though with an update arriving tomorrow (29th September) that will bring a bunch of new tracks to battle on.

I’m looking forward to getting trounced on some more tracks but if I was to be super greedy I’d love a few more cars to choose from too. Regardless, with the game perfect in bite-sized chunks It’s likely to have sole ownership of my lunch breaks for some time to come. Excitingly the same datamine also supposedly discovered a brand new ‘Arcade’ game mode where racers have to race against the clock, passing through gates for additional time, as well as another mysteriously dubbed ‘Survival’. Now you’re updated, meet me on the track, I’ll probably be the one you overtake on the first corner.
