F-Zero

F-Zero (エフゼロ Efu Zero?, F-ZERO) is a futuristic racing video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The game was first released in Japan on November 21, 1990 and later in North America on August 13, 1991 and in Europe on June 4, 1992. The title was downloadable over the Nintendo Power peripheral in Japan.[1] It was also released onto the Nintendo Super System. The special edition of the game was released on the Super Famicom's Satellaview attachment, followed by a sequel called BSF-Zero 2 Practice.[2] In late 2006, F-Zero became available on the Wii's Virtual Console.  Also, for a limited time, the game was released on the Wii U's eShop for 30 cents.[3]

As the first game in the F-Zero series, it was released in Japan as one of the two debut titles for the Super Famicom,[4] However, in the United States, this launch title was accompanied by more games.[5] F-Zero has been praised for its original scenarios and style of gameplay. As a result, the title has influenced numerous other racing games.[6][7][8]
