F-Zero X Barrels To Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack This Week

Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack subscribers will have a new classic racing game to enjoy in the form of F-Zero X, which arrives on the service on March 11.

F-Zero X, the successor to F-Zero, was launched in 1998 on the Nintendo 64. The first entry to utilize 3D graphics, it’s perhaps most notable for introducing Death Race, a mode that challenges players to eliminate the 29 other racers on a specially designed course. F-Zero X is available for up to four players and features online multiplayer.

Although new titles don’t arrive in as plentiful quantities as some would like, getting one release a month beats the several-month drought that regularly occurs with the NES/SNES libraries.

Nintendo Switch Online also recently announced an overhauled reward system to encourage completion of specific in-game tasks. It’s all here.
