10 Iconic Nintendo Games You Must Replay
6. F-Zero X
From THAT opening guitar riff onwards, you know full well you are playing a full throttle, no holds barred racer that beats you around mercilessly.
Naturally, you immediately put in the master cheat code to unlock all the racers and their craft plus all the tracks the game had to offer - it was a simpler time where we didn't have time.
The game was the sequel to 1990's F-Zero which had been a huge success for the SNES and it took a lot of its key features directly from its predecessor - ice and gravel sections to slow you down, healing pink pit lanes and boost pads meticulously placed on the perfect racing line. What more do you want?
GP and Time Trials aside; F-Zero X introduced a whole new kind of racing in it's death race format. Tapping the L & R buttons in a specific combo would ram your ship into those racing around you - forcing them off the looped course to their doom or blowing them to smithereens if their shield count reached zero - endless enjoyment. I'd replay it just for that.
Replay Highlight: Without doubt the X Cup. Unlocked after you beat the standard GP contests on all difficulties, the game randomly generated 6 tracks, providing almost endless replayability.
