Game Information:
F-Zero (エフゼロ Efu Zero?) is a futuristic racing video game developed by Nintendo EAD and published by Nintendo for the Super Family Computer/SNES . The game was released in Japan on November 21, 1990, in North America on August 23, 1991,[cn 1] and in Europe on June 4, 1992. F-Zero is the first game of the F-Zero series and was one of the two launch titles for the SNES in Japan, but was accompanied by additional initial titles in North America and Europe. In late 2006, F-Zero became available for the Virtual Console service on the Wii and in early 2013 for the Wii U. The game takes place in the year 2560, where multi-billionaires with lethargic lifestyles created a new form of entertainment based on the Formula One races called 'F-Zero'. The player can choose between one of four characters in the game, each with their respective hovercars.[12] The player then can race against computer controlled characters in fifteen tracks divided into three leagues.[13] F-Zero is acknowledged by critics to be the game that set a standard for the racing genre and the creation of the futuristic sub-genre. Critics lauded F-Zero for its fast and challenging gameplay, variety of tracks, and extensive use of the graphical mode called 'Mode 7'. This graphics-rendering technique was an innovative technological achievement at the time that made racing games more realistic, the first of which was F-Zero. As a result, the title reinvigorated the genre and inspired the future creation of numerous racing games. In retrospective reviews of the game critics agreed that it should have used a multiplayer mode. F-Zero became part of the Player's Choice line by selling at least a million copies.
