F-Zero X

F-Zero X is a 1998 futuristic <a href="/facts/Racing_video_game/szkhmK4d">racing video game</a> for the <a href="/facts/Nintendo_64/p1rI4VQ2">Nintendo 64</a> console, developed and published by <a href="/facts/Nintendo/dMrLpaHu">Nintendo</a>. It is a sequel to the original <a href="/facts/F-Zero_(video_game)/L7dec7a4">F-Zero</a> (1990), and is the first <a href="/facts/F-Zero/pBLKBKXF">F-Zero</a> installment with <a href="/facts/3D_computer_graphics/zlWW6eaF">3D graphics</a>. The game has a steep learning curve and its gameplay experience is similar to that of the original. An <a href="/facts/Expansion_pack/tSsahykr">Expansion Kit</a>, including a track and vehicle editor, was released in Japan in 2000.
F-Zero X introduced the ability to attack other racers, a Death Race mode, and a random track generator called the "X Cup". In the Death Race, the player's objective is to rapidly annihilate or pass the 29 other racers, and the X-Cup generates 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 <a href="/facts/Framerate/sbRkc9xa">framerate</a>, although it has been widely criticized for its lack of graphical detail. F-Zero X was <a href="/facts/Ported/7s6tFs8B">ported</a> in 2004 to the <a href="/facts/IQue_Player/lrjQMQvo">iQue Player</a> and had re-releases through the <a href="/facts/Virtual_Console/rovAzWYB">Virtual Console</a> for <a href="/facts/Wii/BxUgl2da">Wii</a> in 2007, later on <a href="/facts/Wii_U/Hv4EI4la">Wii U</a>, and through the <a href="/facts/Nintendo_Classics/ks5sro1h">Nintendo Classics</a> service, featuring online multiplayer, in 2022.
