F-Zero X is one of the best games on the N64. I should note that there was an offcial album filled with heavy metal arrangements based on this game's music.

F-Zero X's soundtrack always had that Satriani vibe to it. Shred guitar and fast gameplay - a great combo!

F-Zero X has such an amazing soundtrack.

I’m shocked they didn’t call it F-Zero 64

N64drunk? Nice

One thing I never hear mentioned about F-Zero X is how well implemented the rumble support is. The intensity ramps up subtly as you start to lose traction and you can tell when you're going to lose control just from the vibration level. It's one of the only games where I've found rumble makes a tangible improvement to the gameplay.

that 80s metal sound on this game is damn perfect and I like the ost nore than the gx version🤔

Its a real minor thing, but thanks for wishing me a good rest of the day. No bullshit, just some SNES fun and bye. No Raycon, No Raid Shadow legends...

I miss SNESDrunk wishing a great rest of my days ,I never knew I missed it till now ,have a great of your day too :)

Love this series so much, can't believe there has not been an F-Zero game since 2004.

So happy you're back. I've been binging your content and glad to see some new stuff as well while I go through your catalogue. Mucho appreciando!

I miss this series. It is very distinct from other racing games, and even other anti-gravity racing games. The absence of items or weapons puts the focus entirely on the driving skills of the player, and even the attacks have to be well executed. I'm not that good at it, but racing in this game (and F-Zero GX) is very satisfying. It's such a shame Nintendo is content with graverobbing F-Zero's features to add them in Mario Kart. Also, it might be a small aspect of the game, but I love the characters in F-Zero X. Each one cooler/"badass-er"/sillier than the other, it's like a fighting game's roster!

I wanted this game so bad imported it from Japan and played it all summer before the US received in the fall. - Worth noting at the time many hated the lack of detail despite it being necessary for the speed and FPS. - I’ll never forget one Cup X course I played that created a downward 90 degree turn that would kill all CPU cars. Hilarious!

While F-Zero GX on the Gamecube is the magnum opus of the series, this game is still amazing with a butter smooth frame-rate and an ass kicking soundtrack.

F-Zero X (or rather F-Zero X Expansion Kit for the DD add-on) is the series peak for me. The GameCube iteration might be visually incredible but it's just not as balanced or ultimately enjoyable IMO.

F zero's "Mute city" music is aways killer. AWAYS.

I've beaten all cups at Master difficulty with all 30 characters, so yeah, I can tell you it's really worth playing. I love the original F-Zero, but this one is better in any possibile way

The soundtrack factor it's outstanding, they've created a awesome game and add extended the vibe with good tunes.

So nice to see new videos from you. Missed them.

One of the best things about the X Cup was occasionally there would be a crazy first bend and almost all of the CPU cars would go flying off, giving you and easy win. 😊

Just imagine if F-Zero had caught on as Nintendo flagship "racing" franchise instead of Mario Kart...maybe we would have lived in a timeline where 2015 looked like what Back to The Future 2 imagined ^^

F-Zero X was one of the few and also one of the first N64 games I owned as a kid, so played it a lot! I mostly played the grands prix but when a friend of mine came over and played the death race mode we started to compete and tried to beat our highscores. Everytime I beat his, the next time he came over he beat mine again, up until the point where I thought “man, it's impossible to make it even faster“. I really love that memories, good times :)

Found your channel a few days ago, already one of my favorite channels, your videos are all always so entertaining thanks for coming back btw

I really enjoyed F-Zero X. It was my most anticipated game back in 1998. I even got to play the game a few times before it's official release date, when my local Toys R Us had it playable. It was stunning to see the game run so smoothly at 60fps, since it was very rare to see console games to do that at the time, especially since games running at 60fps were more common on PC and arcade games. I liked the track design, the wide variety of vehicles, and the gameplay most of all.

The random metal growls in the car select music always amused me.

Big Blue stage music (decide in the eyes) is my favored game song of all time in a tie with Fire Youngster from Ace Combat 2.

Excellent video! Great content and I'd like to see you dive into more series continuations as well!

This is a nice angle! Gives you a chance to expand outside the 16-bit!

Didn't know there was a 60fps N64 title. That's really cool. For a first party Nintendo title, this one feels very under the radar.

I love the original and the GC version, but never got round to trying this. That track randomiser though - what a stroke of genius!

I just played this yesterday for the first time in years. The sound output, sound track and colours are fantastic. My Sons and I have enjoyed this game which says it all... great review

I was a bigger fan of Extreme-G, though I probably should've scooped up both.

SNES, Thanks for another great video. Oh and I love your intros...keep up the good work. True fan here.

Ill get a little bit nostalgia sick when i hear that soundtrack. A little tear in the corner of my eye!

I LOVED the track randomizer. I still think about it to this day, even though -- get this -- i only played this game one time, like 20 years ago. It was just such a cool idea, I'd never seen anything like it. Cool video!

I literally got goosebumps @ 3:11 hearing that guitar again. Thanks for this 🤘

Your channel is such a breath of fresh air in current year when every creator tries to pad their videos with as much watch time as possible without much substance. Thank you

Would love to see you cover the Excitebike series. I feel like a lot of people missed out on how awesome excite truck was.

Great timing! I just got back into this series and I'm doing another playthrough of the GameCube edition of this franchise.

My favorite thing about the track randomizer was that it would occasionally accidentally create a "dead man's curve" - a really sharp turn immediately after a jump - which would send all the AI cars crashing out of the track. If you were smart enough to take it at super low speed, you'd make it and be literally the only racer left on the course

I suggested this video on patreon! I'm glad to see you do it :)

Great video, great comeback! You needed a break!

Fantastic review, ready to have a great rest of my day now!

This game is insane! I remember I really felt the extreme speed of the vehicles, the 60fps helped a lot with that regard... Also, the soundtrack, the tracks themselves, is just awesome! There's not a single bad fzero game (the game boy advance games are great too, and they also have that speed sense). I'd love to see more of this franchise...

When you said you were bringing more N64 games to the mix I certainly was not expecting that one right off the bat! This game kicks ass!!! That guitar lick in the beginning of the video sets the tone.

Great game. Nice to see it getting some love. The DD expansion also added a track editor which is crazy.

Glad you're back! This is a great game, I remember sinking hours into the Deathmatch mode. Looking forward to more 32 /64 bit reviews! Love the channel.

That greeting at the end of your videos never gets old. I feel significantly lightened after finishing the video, lol.

For me the track editor is a big reason to revisit the game, there was one in the 64DD expansion kit and there's a PC tool for replacing tracks with custom ones

Nice review man! Just got into the F-Zero Series and this is definitely a gem.

Excellent video, I learned things about this game that I didn't know even though I never played this game back in the day.

Hell yeah it is! I think X is definitely more fun than GX and it also has better music. Don't get me wrong, GX is amazing, but it's so challenging it can be painful to play sometimes.

Well com back Snesdrunk! I really miss your videos, specially your intro XD

Up there with my favourite N64 Games. The amount on vehicles, the tracks, the sense of speed and oh that soundtrack! Amazing. Would love to see a modern F zero!

Good Stuff man, happy to see you again!!

I will have a great rest of my day, thanks so much bro, and you too! And also great review haha, this game certainly seems very playable the way you put it

I still want to see an eShop rerelease/localisation of the 64DD _eXpansion Kit,_ which had a bonus cup, some extra songs (including the famous metal-style cover of Mario Kart 64 Rainbow Road) _and_ a full track builder.

Missed you recently - Glad to see you back!

When he said "I hope you have a great rest of your day" I felt that

Love when you do N64 stuff. Please continue with this type of video, the next game of SNES series on N64.

Yeah, this is a pretty nice game :3 I actually did not know about the track randomizer! I guess I never played far enough to unlock it, so that gives me incentive to revisit it again :) Thank you for the heads-up!

This game’s buttery smooth 60 fps feels so satisfying when you come to it after playing other N64 games.

Hugely underrated game imo. This is actually my second favorite N64 game (after Ocarina) and easily one of my favorite racing games ever. Never really got into GX.

This is probably my favorite racing game. It's just so fast and balanced, and the soundtrack is perfect for the job. Thanks a lot for the video.

I love this game so much. The advanced techniques speedrunners have found in this game are amazing to behold and fun to try to replicate

Glad to see you back on a regular!

Love the content man. Would love if you did more N64 games

F-Zero X is still by far my favorite top 3 Nintendo 64 titles. I don’t feel F-Zero series gets the same recognition as other Nintendo exclusive titles. The F-Zero AX Arcade machines for the NGC F-Zero GX title are pretty rare. I liked that the data from your NGC card can be used for your custom vehicles at the arcade machine.

Was thinking of buying this, had no clue you made a video for it the other day. Ive actually never played any of the 3d f zero games. Just the 1st game and the gba games. And i loved every last one of em. Got an n64 this past month, and this game isnt too expensive.

I still remember the very first time I got to play this at the Toys R Us that was in the Holyoke Mall in Massachusetts.....flying off the track on Big Blue 2 while my Dad was standing in the background saying, "I expected it was gonna be faster!" and I was like "Are you kidding? That was awesome!" Such a great game

I was gonna say something about TX, but you answered that. I wouldn't mind seeing you Branch out more like this. It's hard for me to think of other places for you to go with SNES, so I could only imagine how hard it is for you.

I'm a big fan of the N64, and F-Zero X is one of my favorites! Great video, Drunk!

Dude if you’re going to start reviewing 3D games this will be fantastic! Great video man!

This was the first game I owned. My older brother and sister had saved up some money and bought it for me for Christmas. It was pretty mindblowing to play a 3D game that moved that fast. I vividly remember going in a pipe for the first time and my little babby brain just melted. It also acted as a entry point for me to discover heavy metal. Really great memories. Also, gonna be pedantic and point out that F-Zero X is not the only N64 game to run at 60fps. There were definitely more of them like Yoshi's Story and Mischief Makers. Most of these are 2D games or sprite-based, but there were also a few 3D ones in there like Mortal Kombat 4 and Smash Bros(at least when playing fewer than 3 players).

I like the idea of checking out continuations of snes franchises on other consoles. Keep it going SNESdrunk

The F-Zero series was brilliant in its use of textures to really make you feel like you were going at insane speeds. The circles on the sides of the tracks were a major contributor to this. The only other games that gave me the same sense of ludicrous speed (“they’ve gone to plaid!”) that F-Zero has is the Wipeout series.

My buddy just got this for his collection on my recommendation!

I love the music on F-Zero X and the original songs from F-Zero. They sound really awesome. Last time I played it was last summer and it’s a good game.

One of my childhood favorites. the soundtrack and speed make for a badass experience.

This was one of my favorite games as a kid. I beat all cups with all drivers on all difficulty levels. Haven't played it much since but I will say that I just could never get into GX for some reason. I still go back to the original from time to time.

YOU'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY!

Love this game and its soundtrack. Still a lot of fun to play today, especially in HD on an emulator. It's not the only 60 fps game though. Smash Bros is another.

I loved playing this game so much. The battle mode is a bit underrated, and deserves a little more love, IMO. You could double tap the shoulder buttons to perform a spin attack to the left or right which, if timed properly, will launch your opponents sideways into the walls or off the track. Basic, but incredibly satisfying to execute, immediatley yeeting rival cars out of the frame at lightning speed. Amazing.

Great episode as per usual. I never could get into the f-zero games. Mostly because I suck at them great but the soundtracks are amazing!

Great to see you back, SNES Drunk! Would you ever consider a review of the D&D style dungeon crawlers on SNES? Or any early console? It’s a genre that was bigger on PC, but I’ve run across several decent ones on NES/SNES.

glad to see u back again and doin vids! i was about to put in a missing persons report!

I was so hooked on F-Zero back in the day. Really great racing game.

This was a damn good game. My favorite track was one of the simplest, with the O shape. The sense of speed with the music (i think it was Dream Chaser) was so good. Sometimes I would go to such a high speed that the car would jump off the race track on its own. Good times

i love the boost-power mechanics, sacrificing shield energy for a speed boost. it's a thrill and addiction maintaining constant velocity at the cost of ever higher death risk. and all this within a beautiful game world with amazing soundtrack.

great to see you back again!

Wow you just did this!!! Thank you! F-Zero X is absolutely my favorite racing game of all time! If only the N64 Disk Drive was more accessible so i could play the expansion.

I played this game a lot and i loved so much when i was younger. The sense of speed is just awesome and i do think everyone just should have a look to feel it in person.

The soundfont used for this game really is a gift to the world. Some of the remixes I've heard using it are nothing short of amazing.

Great to see that the last video wasn't just a fluke. I always like when u do an N64 video too!

This FZX was all about speed and fast paced gameplay, even in 2020, this still a relevant game to play. I was quite surprised how well that game aged... really. I even (personally) find it aged better than F Zero GX in it's one way.

I remember the track randomizer made a level the game couldn't beat lmao. Literally all 29 racers died. they couldn't figure out they had to decelerate a corner that would shoot them off the edge.

could you do a review of Wave Race 64 or 1080° Snowboarding? I would like to hear your thoughts about those games.

You forgot the extended edition for the 64DD.

Love this idea of exploring sequels to SNES classics. If I may make you a suggestion, you should try Starfox 64!

Cannot believe I played this game as much as I did and never knew about the track randomizer.
