Game Description
F-Zero X brings blistering speed and futuristic racing to the Nintendo 64 in a way no other title dared to attempt in the late ’90s. As the sequel to the SNES original, this groundbreaking racer pushes the limits of the console with lightning-fast tracks, anti-gravity twists, and heart-pounding action at over 1,000 km/h. Choose from an impressive roster of 30 hovercraft pilots, each with unique stats, and compete in races that demand razor-sharp reflexes and nerves of steel.
Developed by Nintendo EAD, F-Zero X was designed with one goal: pure speed. Every track is a gauntlet of loops, corkscrews, and sudden drops, while the game’s physics and 60 frames-per-second performance make every collision and maneuver feel intense and precise. The game doesn’t just challenge your driving skills—it demands strategic use of boosts, careful energy management, and daring rival take-downs to secure victory.
More than just a racing game, F-Zero X carved out a legacy as one of the fastest and most exhilarating experiences on the Nintendo 64. Its brutal difficulty, high replay value, and competitive edge have cemented it as a cult classic, sought after by collectors and speed enthusiasts who consider it one of the finest futuristic racers of all time.

Historical Trivia or Fun Fact
F-Zero X was the first Nintendo 64 game to run at a consistent 60 frames per second, setting a new technical benchmark for racing titles. While the graphics were intentionally pared back to maintain performance, the trade-off allowed for fluid gameplay that remains celebrated by fans to this day.
Beyond its technical achievements, F-Zero X became a proving ground for Nintendo’s ability to create high-speed thrills that rivaled the best arcade racers of its era.
