As far as fzero, didn't someone at Nintendo state in the past year or so that Nintendo would only make a new Fzero if they came up with a new gameplay gimmick for it. Granted that's an extremely dumb excuse for not making another Fzero game, but that means there is clearly not an Fzero even in planning stages yet alone deep in development or near release. Nintendo clearly has no current plans to make another Fzero.

That said, between FzeroX being on NSO (and the game still plays fantastic!) and Fzero99 we at least have some fun Fzero stuff to play on Switch. I'm hoping next gen GC gets added to NSO Expansion Pack and we get FzeroGX on there in a few years. Who knows, maybe by like 2030 Nintendo will actually decide to make a new Fzero game lol

And good to see they are occasionally adding even more value to NSO beyond just the retro games, the retro games make the membership well worth the price but extra value is always nice! It sucks that Pacman99 is about to be removed, and really dumb they randomly took Mario35 down after a few months, but at least there is still Fzero99 now and Tetris99.

I don't get why Pac-Man 99 is shutting down, and F-Zero 99 still feels like an insult.

Why do you feel insulted?? Fzero99 is really cool. It's not like there was any reason to expect Nintendo to suddenly announce a new Fzero game haha, we all know they aren't working on one. Seems like Fzero fans should be pumped about 99, instead ya'll just complain when something Fzero finally comes out lol. 20 years with nothing and then a cool online multiplayer Fzero game comes out and everyone just complains, that's messed up. Fzero99 is very obviously the exact opposite of an insult. Nintendo put out an online multiplayer chaotic SNES Fzero game much updated and more interesting than the original SNES Fzero for free on NSO...that's a love letter to Fzero fans, not an insult. Nintendo fans be whack lol seems like Nintendo fans take complaining as a lifestyle.

Offline Pacman99 modes I think are staying around, so I would assume they just decided keeping the servers on isn't worth the cost.
