N64 - F Zero X Expansion Kit Box Art Front

F-Zero X is a futuristic racing video game for the Nintendo 64 (N64) console. Developed by Nintendo's EAD division, it was released in Japan, North America, and Europe in 1998. In 2000, an expansion pack was exclusively released in Japan providing numerous extra features not in the original game. F-Zero X was ported in 2004 to the iQue Player in China. The game was re-released on the Wii Virtual Console in Japan, Europe and in North America, in 2007. To honor the 100th Virtual Console release in Europe, it became available on June 15.

It was a sequel to the original 1990 F-Zero game, and was the first F-Zero installment to feature 3D graphics. The game has a steep learning curve and its gameplay experience is similar to that of the original F-Zero game. F-Zero X introduced a "death race" mode and a random track generator called the "X Cup". In the death race, the player's objective is to annihilate the 29 other racers as speedily as possible, while the X-Cup "creates" a different set of tracks each time played.

Critics generally praised F-Zero X for its fast gameplay, abundance of courses and vehicles, track design, and maintaining a high framerate. However, the game has been widely criticized for its lack of graphical detail.

Additional Information

This Japan-only add-on disk opens up 12 new tracks and two new features slumbering in F-Zero X: a car editor and a track editor. The track editor is virtually the same tool the designers of F-Zero X used to create the original tracks for the cartridge game. Using a cursor, you first create a basic circuit then add points to it to create curves and hills and determine the basic track layout. You then assign different properties to the track elements via a simple drop-down menu system. There are dozens of different track styles, such as basic road, road with walls, half pipe, cylinder, loop and tunnel as well as road surfaces ranging from ice to the pink pit stripes that recharge your energy. Up to 100 courses can be saved directly to the disk.
