- This video was captured using the actual game on an actual Nintendo 64. A few failures to complete races have been removed for your consideration and enjoyment.
This is the legendary F-Zero X. Legendary because this installment is thought by many to be the greatest F-Zero of the entire franchise. While I do think that it is great, I actually think that award goes to the Gamecube version F-Zero GX. But this video is on F-Zero X.
F-Zero X was not as widely praised as it is now days. When this was released, game magazines like EGM dogged it by saying that the graphics were too plain and dull. Obviously nobody cared what they thought because F-Zero fans could see right through that line of BS. The first F-Zero was really fast and really smooth. F-Zero X was twice as fast and twice as smooth. How fast and smooth? 60 frames per second. Yes, the framerate that the consoles of today struggle to keep was this game's constant. Not only that but the A.I. was more brutal than ever. To even this out, F-Zero X featured shunting and spinning attacks to bite back at the brutal A.I. This was also the first installment to give you boost at the expense of your energy meter. You could boost your meter down to nothing and then pray for a recharge strip, or use it sparingly. Your choice, but boosting more often wins races while boosting less often ensures that you finish the race. I'm in it to win it so I boost constantly. The controls were tighter than ever and the racing is absolutely frenetic. The music again is legendary. It's weird how many N64 games suffered from muffled sound and music due to the low sampling rates in order to optimize the limited storage of cartridges, but this game suffered with none of that. All the sound effects are crystal clear and the music is CD quality. No, Nintendo did nothing wrong with this game. With 30 A.I. opponents trying to knock you off the track at break neck speeds, the only people who wanna talk trash about this game simply just suck at it. This game is just absolute greatness in physical form. - Hry
Damn little did i know, F zero X had some nice metal music ranging from melodeath power metal like that children of bodom to thrash like that of exodus too. It totally went with the speed of the gameplay
MY favorite game on the Nintendo 64, good memories :')
DaisyyMichelle lol you were missing out then. Super Smash Bros was the way to go !
PFFT, golden eye 64
mos def. Super Smash (orig), Zelda Oot, and Mario 64 were, and possibly still are the 3 greatest games of all time!
Me too
Star wars shadow of the empire
Almost 25 years later, I still think the robot voices counting down at 0:26 sound so cool. They get you pumped
The Soundtrack at this age of video games was outstanding. I wish I could have that voice for my navi. And I wish I could effort a car to have use for a navi.
When I first turned this game on, I was amazed at how buttery smooth the frame rate was. The great sense of speed while going up against 29 other racers was worth the toned down graphics and compressed sound.
compressed sound? Sure you write down true feelings? i call bs cause this is by far on of the best FX/Music Games on the system, using digitalizeed guitar etc. One of the few titles that do not sound like a dated 1990 middleclass Keyboard and more Gamy like the Super Nintendo did
Sounds and looks better than the original game 10/10
Compressed sound?
The framerate was amazing
frame tearing standard ! :D
It's blocked at 60 fps
Tricus Games that’s all you need baby!
@@tricusgames2602 60fps on the nintendo 64 days was extremely rare. Most games didn't even reach 30.
@@ElShogoso thats true
Always loved this game. As a kid I would nearly cry due to the awesomeness of the tracks. I'd look at the sky, and think: "Somewhere, C. Falcon must be racing right now to awesome music in space.."
Good times :3
Good, good times...
This is when I fell in love with harmonies 😭
best futuristic racing game ever
Starwars episode l Racer
Wipeout
@@andros9657 no
@@sabu1895 hell no
@@andros9657 Wipeout 64 had impressive visuals, but the gameplay wasn't as fast as this. Also all the tracks in that game are more or less two-dimensional, whereas in F-Zero X the gravity orientation can change.
Oh damn the nostalgia
I also definitely didn’t remember N64 games ever running that smooth, it’s retroactively really impressive
It's the only game that I know it ran this good of N64, I believe the very first console game to run at constant or near 50/60 FPS
Couldn’t sleep and vaguely remembered playing this game when I was like 5. Searched”space racing n64 game” and unlocked this hidden memory 😢
This game is so awesome. The absolute speed of it blew me away when I first played it. It's my favorite entry in the series too. The original is great but too simple and GX was way too hard.
ya tried any of the portable ones? i mean they're like the original but less simple
I have both F-Zero Maximum Velocity and GP Legend and I would much rather play the SNES original over either of them, especially Maximum Velocity which honestly IMO kinda sucks because of its controls. GP Legend I think is the better of the two but neither one is notable in my book.
I miss this game! There’s nothing like it, even after all these years... 🎮👾😄
I still got the game back from the old days! 😊👏
Me too
Uno de los muchos juegos que marcaron mi infancia. Que viva el N64
Somos 2
Si y no era mi 64 tengo 29
Killerloop fue mejor!
The ost for this game is hands down my favorite sound track of any game ever as well as it’s fun as hell to play 😂
i would play this in my garage for hours even during the summer when it was so hot!
Brings back great childhood memories
Indeed...
Is it just me who played this as a kid? lmao HOLLA to those 90's kids
I'm 43 now and I vividly remember this game from my college days.
Yes! 35 now.
still the best racing game ever made. for many reasons
I still have this game I'm 31 now
Hell yeah! I still have this baby on my Wii, virtual console.
Legendary F-Zero game. My absolute favourite and the music is just nuts. Although this game wasn't outright overlooked, I still feel it was unappreciated.
This game is amazing and wonderful soundtrack
The physics engine in this was sublime. Taking the boost as far as you could without lifting off the track
That music at the begging takes me back lol so does boost power!
still the best racing game ever made. for many reasons
First and most importantly, it's sense of speed.
man I miss the old times and the old years of me being younger playing this game I miss that😭😔😢😞
Me to time flies my god
Come to think of it. Nascar adn F-Zero were the only two racing games with the most vehicles racing on the tracks back in the day.
Winning big blue was always torture
Soundtracks make this game perfect
I forgot how good the music was in this game
I have not thought of this game for 15 years. Great memories playing it!
Considering buying this game after watching your video. This looks flipp'n amazing.
I'm glad that my video has aided your decision on searching out this game as that is my channel's primary goal. If you think this game looks amazing, don't forget to check out F-Zero GX on the Gamecube. Thanks for watching :)
I was just about to look at some gameplay of that, too! I'm a Mario Kart fan, so this series of games spark my interest even more because of the lack of weapons. Racing games have always been one of my favourites.
mcaporelli3 Racing games is one of mine as well. Since you mentioned you're a fan of Mario Kart, it would be a shame to not ask if you have played Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. After playing that, I almost can't even look at another Mario kart game because S&ASRT is an amazing racing game even though it has weapons because it's a racing game first, and a battle racer second. Mario Kart to me feels like dodge ball on wheels instead of a racing game and lacks the sense of speed that I love in racing games. S&ASRT has the speed and perfectly balanced weapons. It's so much fun!
I've watched someone play Sonic racing on a stream and I actually really enjoyed it. It looked a lot better, honestly. Less hectic, longer tracks, etc. I'll keep that in mind after I get my taxes back. Maybe I'll get that, too!
mcaporelli3 Cool, let me know what you think when you get ahold of them :)
that was good times.
WATCH YOUR BACK!
Even just watching the gameplay is exhilarating!
In retrospect. F-Zero X is actually one of the sharper looking N64 games. Because it doesn't use bilinear filtering tricks and have any detailed textures, the game doesn't look as blurry as most N64 games resulting in graphics which I find less irritating on the eye. I could also say that after the lackluster Mario Kart 64, this was a massive step in the right direction.
the robot counting down was genuinely creepy as hell to me as a kid.
imagine those are the last words you hear before you fall of the edge and....
"retire"
Wow I last played this game 23 years ago. Amazing to see it again
To me, the best FZero...and the best speed feeling, and music animation
Big Blue:best soundtrack
I prefer GX
I must admit as an owner of N64 that i had no clue there was an F Zero 64... sad..
*_THREE, TWO, ONE, GHOUAAAAAAA_*
Till this day I still have F-Zero X 😁
Nossa mano, lembrou minha infância !! Kkk vlw por me relembrar esse tempo.
We need this on our Smartphone :D
Shino That is already possible.....atleast it is on Android phones.
Lul Realy? i have a android Tablet what is the Name of the APP?
Shino Mupen64Plus FZ. It's a N64 emulator and the finest one at that. It's completely free of charge and ad free as well. DO NOT download Mupen64Plus AE or MegaN64 as they are ripped off garbage that have ads.
That being said your results may vary depending on how powerful your tablet is. I have a Galaxy S7 and it runs beautifully. Good luck :)
Thanks i will try it :3
I bet I am 2 years late, but I deeply recommend not to play F-ZERO X or GX on anything that don't use their original control plugins, such as the N64 or GC because the gameplay will be just... lacking. As you need to press Shoulder buttons to attack, strafe or even slide/drift which will improve significantly the gameplay. This is more kind of a feedback. I would recommend to play the NTSC versions with their respective controllers to have F-ZERO X/GX at their full potential.
I remember this game getting me through a case of the chicken pox when I was a kid. 64 still the best Nintendo gaming in my opinion.
Daaaamn, I was so addicted to this Game :D .. besides 100 others, but ok :D
I like how the finish word spins around as if you drove past it.
My first metal songs.
N64 and that game. Happy times!
The second track I used to go light speed!! Brings back some good memories.
Such a fantastic game for this time.
Unbelieveble how smooth
Love how they kept the original music the SNES version ate hours of my life
They were able to create a game like this on the N64, but nothing like this on the DS or 3DS which have more power ? Nice one Nintendo...
Can't you get it on the Virtual Console though?
nboy7 and ps2,ps3 and ps4
Don't be ridiculous. N64 was a home console. Both DS and 3DS are handhelds.
My Man the gameboy advance was more powerful or as strong as the super nintendo. So it is possible to make an handheld as strong as a home console
@@stuntbounce Look at the Ps2/Psp Grand Theft Auto series. You can play them on your phone now. Even Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Jade Empire.
used to play this constantly when i was 5 years old back in 2004
simply one the best for speed lovers.
double tap L or R to avoid gliding on corners
Juegazo de dioses!
Y esa pedazo de temazos de música🤟🏻❤️🔥
En 2010 un exito
i feel bad because i never got to expirence the awesomeness of this game myself
i always thought it was an interesting idea, to "unlock" your Boost after youve already done a lap...also, id love to make a full recreation of the Soundtrack to this game-- its got some jammin bangers xD
Had my N64 on, got to playing this again, masters made me realize how bad I am and how good F-Zero is
Czeekaj master difficulty will make anyone look bad😂
Easily the best racer on the 64 and arguably the best arcade racer of it's generation the only real competition imo being Wipeout XL or 3, and also Excite Bike 64. Excellent game, love going through the Master difficulty level, always a good challenge to win every race.
This game gets me so hyped up!
Man I remember playing this game on a display at the top floor of a JCPenny. I always ended up crashing, but would stay there for hours while my parents went off and bought stuff at the mall. Good times.
Nostalgic overload ❤️
Feel so nostalgic when i hear the soundtrack
Super underappreciated!
Best sound track ever
I was 6 years old playing this!
when life hits differents
Still the best futuristic racing game to this day.
Holy shit I remember playing and loving this game lol. 26 now. Good times
i hpe you had a great day today!!!
I wish they'd release a remastered version of titles like this one. Someone from ninentendo please see this!!!!
Este juego me daba vértigo jajaja, y que buena música de fondo trae, te anima demasiado.
You got Boost Power =D Finiiiiiiiiiiiiiished... oh boy, 1st place !!!
My childhood
Mines too
My favourite racing game
Almost forgot I had this classic gonna be getting a steamdeck soon and emulating this Forsure
Sin este juego no habria sido posible el need for speed y tantos otros juegos de carreras.
the music is sweet
I have to ask, does some of the karts have a Reactor Might in the F-ZERO?
The fact that it held a smooth 60fps is just complete insanity. Like the graphics are not good, but I mean... HOLY!
so fun even to this day
For some strange reason, I actually wet myself laughing as a kid, the ship took too much damage and blew up i found it so funny i lost control of my bladder.
Other machine:captain falcon did you just killed me?!
Captain falcon:NO! Someone else did
this is my favorite N64 game! I want to play!!!!!!
I got this game and i luv it
honestly what’s keeping Nintendo from remaking this game?
Low profits on sales.
Damn that stroboscopic effect at 5:17
I was all about the music in this game as a kid.
This game and mario 64 and super smash bros made me sold my ps1 back then and buy the N64 , and it was worth it
"YOU GAWT BOOST POW'RRRR!!!"
buen juego con buena música... en fin que memorias.
awwwwwwwww LOVED THIS AS A KID(!) 💛💛💛💛🦋💛💛💛💛🙏🏿
Finish! All right, 1st place!
Wauw the music gets me pumped up to race the shit out of the game ! 😜 great times ❤️90s
music = METAL as FXUCK
This was my favourite game and Kirby
6:38 you went full Scar on your brother right there!!
Best racing game ever, it was paint- strippingly fast!
Nunca supe de esta joya 😱 pensé que solo en Snes estaba
Im glad i finished this game in all difficultly levels... good times
