I finished in the top 25 a few times. Easier said than done. If we get another F-Zero after this then we should have F-Zero 99 as an extra game mode included, but with more traicks from other F-Zero games and more machines from other F-Zero games too. I miss Lucy Liberty. :(

I agree. But you’re confused. I’m not talking about all styles of Directs, merely these newer styles of General Directs. They’re sterile, bland, and don’t achieve any of the hype you’re claiming they should. If anything, they do much the opposite by making many cool games look uninteresting.

What are you talking about? Nintendo Directs have been done like this for the entire Switch generation. There's nothing new about it. You just didn't like some of the trailers in this one. If the general ones are sterile and bland the mini Directs and partner Directs are too. Because they are all done the exact same way. The Indie World Showcases aren't Directs.

Anyway. How are people doing with this game?

How well do you generally do on the Gran Prix races?
To answer that for myself, my first Gran Prix or two I bombed out within the first three races, but the last 7 or 8 I’ve finished in the top 20 - normally about 12-17. Also, I’m at about level 20 now and recently just got my badge for 99 “99 racesâ€Â complete - which is exactly a lot lower than I though - I summed I was already up in the hundreds.

But anyway, I love this game, and I encourage everyone to try it out, even if you’ve never enjoyed an F-Zero game before.

Also, in terms of future 99 games, the two I want to see are Super Mario Kart - since they’ve moved into the 16-bit games, but also Star Fox… and maybe if Switch 2 allows for N64 type games, Lylat Wars.

I would love a WarioWare 99. Just everyone doing the same microgames and they keep speeding up until only one remains. That would be cool. Could work with Mario Party as well I guess.

I love the idea of WarioWare 99. Not sure if I have the authority to do this but I'm naming you president of Nintendo, so make this happen.

The OG F-Zero designer wants F-Zero revived because of F-Zero 99.

I started going pretty well on Saturday and Sunday, with combined four hours of gameplay (only stopped because wife was already giving me the look, lol). It is SO addictive it's unbelievable.

Well, I managed to get a first win at around level 5, and that made me quite happy. I was playing Stingray and Falcon, the ones I used to play back in the day, and decided to use the Goose for the first time. Adaptation for it was not hard, as it plays a bit similar to Stingray, but hits harder. Long story short, I got two wins and two silvers for both the Knight Grand Prix and the Mini one:
