» SNES » 1990 » NINTENDO EAD I, like many others, was sucked into the hype of F-Zero 99 when it dropped without warning at the last Nintendo Direct. While I initially had a lot of fun with the online racer, I ended up pining for the 1990 original. It’s not that F-Zero 99 is a bad game, it’s just that it doesn’t capture the thrill of high-octane racing like the first game managed to do so well.
