It may not be the "big new F-Zero" that many fans want, and considering this is the first F-Zero release since my birth I can't help but be a little disappointed. But on its own terms, this is still an absolute blast. I'm a fan of the "99" series, and F-Zero translates flawlessly to that formula. It's chaotic and fast paced in all the best ways. I also like that they remastered the game (both the visuals, which are in true 3D now, and the driving physics are substantially improved), rather than just making a straight port with battle royale elements tacked on top of it. My main issue lies with the fact that your entire race can be ended through no fault of your own by bumping into those freaking NPC drivers that are sometimes totally unavoidable. Also, launching the game with only 7 tracks was a lame move. At least the other tracks came in quickly.

Love that Nintendo is adding previously Japan-only games to NSO! I'll need to play more of this game before I can fully form my opinion (probably with an English patch, so I can understand what the heck the names of the modes are). But from the little bit I played, this is yet another pretty fun variation on the falling block puzzle genre, with its main alteration to the formula adding a little more depth to the experience while still being easy to pick up. If you like games in this genre, or if you like Kirby, play this game.
