F-Zero 99 datamine reveals lethal Survival Mode and extra tracks coming in hidden replace roadmap

F-Zero 99 launched lower than per week in the past, however datamines have already confirmed a hidden roadmap with a number of new modes, tracks, and different content material that’s coming quickly—together with a Survival Mode that might actually flip the racer right into a battle royale. 

As of its launch on Sept. 14, there are seven programs obtainable within the sport, all pulled from the Knight League within the unique 1991 F-Zero title that F-Zero 99 is remastering with its new format. Nintendo officially confirmed that programs for the Queen League will drop later this month and King League programs are on the way in which in mid-October—that means we should always see the next Mute Metropolis maps and others within the coming weeks since each circuit from the SNES sport is within the information. 

On high of these confirmed programs, some datamined materials reveals that F-Zero 99 may convey over programs from BS F-Zero 2 Grand Prix, the Satellaview-exclusive sequel to the unique F-Zero title, for the primary time. This bit is presently only a rumor based mostly on placeholder names within the sport’s information, nonetheless, and isn’t confirmed like among the different programs. 

As for the “leaked” sport modes, Survival Mode seems to have a singular map form that could be a flat sq. with a big circle within the center and will find yourself turning F-Zero 99 into extra of a fight racer than the traditional Dying Race everyone seems to be presently taking part in. No further data on what may very well be included for this mode has been shared. 

Arcade Mode is the opposite factor that dataminers have been in a position to pull, and this mode seems like it’ll have gamers racing round current tracks whereas passing via “time gates” to up the time remaining on their race timer. This seemingly means as soon as your private timer expires, your automobile explodes and you’re eradicated.

Whereas seven tracks, Staff Battle, and varied Grand Prix approaches are sufficient to maintain F-Zero 99 feeling recent proper now, infusions of content material beginning later this month ought to maintain the hype across the battle royale racer going—no matter when or what from this datamine really makes it in.
