Classic Game Boy Advance racing titles, such as F-Zero: GP Legend and Japan-exclusive F-Zero Climax, are coming to the Switch Online + Expansion Pack on October 11, as announced by Nintendo today.

The F-Zero series is Nintendo's futuristic, high-speed racing game franchise that initially launched in Japan over 30 years ago in 1990. F-Zero is considered a critical success for the company, having inspired other racing franchises such as SEGA's NASCAR-esque "Daytona USA" title. The F-Zero series has been esteemed for pushing gaming consoles' tech during its era, being regarded as one of the fastest racing games that had launched on retro consoles like the SNES.

Such as with Nintendo's Mario Kart franchise, the F-Zero racing series' gameplay involves the racer player to reach the finish line all while engaging with track obstacles and brawling with your fellow racers' cars, known as "F-Zero machines." Its protagonist, Captain Falcon, appears as one of the main fighters in Super Smash Bros.

- F-Zero: GP Legend 首次于 2003 年在日本推出，随后于次年 2004 年在西方发行。

• 同时，F-Zero Climax 于 2004 年在日本发行，并一直保持为地区独占，直至现在——该游戏也是继去年 Switch 的赛车 MMO 游戏 F-Zero 99 发行前 19 年来最后一款 F-Zero 游戏。
• 在一次采访中，F-Zero 游戏设计师今村孝矢透露，作为任天堂最受欢迎的赛车游戏系列，马里奥赛车是 F-Zero 系列近二十年来基本处于停滞状态的因素之一。
• 现在，作为 Switch Online + 扩展包的 2024 年 10 月游戏更新的一部分，订阅者将可以访问 F-Zero Climax 和 F-Zero: GP Legend，并在各种竞速模式中竞争以提升排名，包括大奖赛、故事模式和各种基于时间的挑战。
