In the Spet. 14 Nintendo Direct, the company announced F-Zero 99. It’s a battle royale game where you and 98 other players race against each other on tracks from the 1990 F-Zero game.
The title will have the main mode and others, like Mini Prix and Grand Prix. You can also gain power-ups, including a Spin Attack and Super Sparks that will let you overtake opponents using the Skyway.
