🎉 Happy 26th Anniversary to #FZero X.
Released on July 14, 1998 for the #Nintendo64, this high-speed sequel took everything great about the #SNES original and launched it into overdrive.
With 30 gravity-defying vehicles, twisting rollercoaster tracks, and one of the most chaotic multiplayer modes of its time, F-Zero X was pure futuristic adrenaline. It also introduced the legendary X Cup, where tracks are randomly generated, keeping races unpredictable and intense.
In Japan, it even got an ambitious #64DD Expansion Kit with a track editor, car creator, and more music, way ahead of its time.
From the minds of Shigeru Miyamoto, Takaya Imamura, and the Nintendo EAD team, this game defined speed on N64.

Fuck it's still hot. #VGMWednesday how do you cool off? Hydration? I don't think our planet has enough water and it already had a lot, so here's an alternate tune associated with BIG BLUE.
If you haven't played the crotch-busting F-Zero GX, do so anyway you can. Heard it was on one of those Switch 2 thingies.

I played F-Zero GX first on #NintendoGameCube. Now I’m enjoying it again on #NintendoSwitch2.
Did you start with speed, swords, or sailing?

Good morning Fedi and BSD cafe folks, last night attended a stream on #twitch! The streamer was playing Quest 64.
Quest 64 is often reviled on #n64, but honestly, compared to some other games on that system, it's not that bad. Certainly not as bad as #superman 64!
If you lived during that time period of the #nintendo64, or just happen to like those period games, what are some of your favorites?
Mine would be #fzero x, Wave Race 64, #starfox64 , #mario64, Mischief Makers, Blast Corps and a few others that are escaping me!
Hope everyone is doing good!
Made it to the 99+ club! No Switch 2 and a lot of free time to finally hit the milestone. Big week last week, made top 100 on the leaderboard too. Now to work on getting past that S29/S30 purgatory. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbPi... #fzero99 #fzero #nintendo #fzd #nintendoswitch #gaming #racing

MARIO KART IN NAME ONLY... WHEN NINTENDO CHOOSES FANTASY OVER PRECISION
HSL reacts to Sakharu Baguette’s documentary: "Mario Kart, 30 years of fun and madness". Original video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=6tMbgg7tJCE
From Super Mario Kart to Mario Kart 8, the series drifted away from kart racing and into magical nonsense. It’s not that Nintendo can’t reconcile fun and challenge... it’s that they don’t want to.

PART 1: INNOVATION OVER CONTROL
If Mario Kart 8 was developed by Namco and Mario Kart Super Circuit by Intelligent Systems, then of course those games are very different from the rest of the series, and in a way, that’s what helped refresh the concept. I don’t see driving on walls or underwater as an improvement. I prefer a "real game" where obstacles say "stop", rather than one that becomes increasingly permissive, where the player is never really interrupted in their progression. Miyamoto is an inventor, everything he touches is original. Whether it’s F-Zero, Mario Kart, or even Wave Race, none of those games have believable gameplay. They shine thanks to their innovation and whimsy, but never because of gameplay. Because as much of a legend as Miyamoto is, he doesn’t even come close to Yu Suzuki in that specific domain.
In F-Zero, you have to press down to land. But the D-pad also steers the vehicle. That’s intentional, Miyamoto wanted landings to come with the risk of not landing straight and flying off the edge.
It’s clever, it’s fun, but when you want to clock a proper time in time trial mode, it becomes impossible to drive precisely. In Mario Kart, they removed the landing mechanic, because it’s no longer spaceships, but instead added speed boosts before jumps. So you end up being launched into the air at full speed, and again, you never know where or how you’re going to land, and you might fall off. Just like in F-Zero, it’s innovative and fun, but even though time trials can feel "sim-like", all these flights and landings destroy driving precision.
