F-Zero Maximum Velocity Races Onto Game Boy Advance – Nintendo Switch Online Library

ByNews Polite

The Game Boy Advance – Nintendo Switch Online library gets another classic this week: F-Zero Maximum Velocity.

F-Zero Maximum Velocity makes its debut on Nintendo Switch on March 29 for anyone with a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership.

F-Zero Maximum Velocity, developed by NDcube and published by Nintendo, was a 2001 launch game for the Game Boy Advance. It takes place 25 years after F-Zero, in another F-Zero Grand Prix, and so is without the likes of Captain Falcon, Samurai Goroh, Pico, or Dr. Stewart.

Here’s the official blurb from Nintendo:

There’s only one sport that has enough thrills, spills and potential for calamity to keep an entire galaxy on the edge of its seat, and it’s known as the F-Zero Grand Prix. F-Zero Maximum Velocity is set 25 years after the original F-Zero game, with a new generation of racers piloting their plasma-powered machines and using speed bursts (and some strategic vehicle-to-vehicle bumping) in a white-knuckle race to stay ahead of the competition… and stay alive.

Climb the Grand Prix standings to unlock tracks and vehicles while you speed around 20 different courses across four difficulty levels to prove you’ve got what it takes to rank among the galaxy’s most elite racers.

Meanwhile, Nintendo launches a new update for F-ZERO 99, its multiplayer racer available on the eShop to everyone with a paid Nintendo Switch Online membership, on February 28. The update lets you take on the new Mirror Grand Prix, Mirror Tracks for Knight League, and the Classic Mini Prix. Plus, you can try Steer Assist to help guide your machine around turns and barriers, and hone your skills in an expanded Practice Mode. Timed Challenges offer limited time in-game rewards, Recommended Challenges give tips on what to tackle next, and there are newly added Achievements. In the future, Mirror Tracks for King League and Queen League will become available, Nintendo said.

The arrival of F-Zero Maximum Velocity to Nintendo Switch Online follows the January addition of two of the Game Boy Advance’s best RPGs: Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age. Other Game Boy Advance games on the service include Mario Kart: Super Circuit, The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, and Metroid Fusion.
