I must admit I am a bit frustrated that Nintendo decided to port this while some obvious classics like Super Smash Bros and Perfect Dark are still missing from the NSO.

But regardless game preservation is game preservation, even for middleware slop.

Maybe that sounds severe. This game is pretty good tbh. Nice vibe, drives nice. But the lack of drifting seems to conflict with the design of the tracks.

Really this game's biggest failing is existing in a world where F-Zero X exists.
