The human race has ventured out into the universe, and the development of a civilization based on science is flourishing. However, the gap between the rich and the poor is larger than ever before, and evil -- as well as corruption -- is ever present. Amidst all of this, one thing still has the power to excite one and all: the ultra-high-speed F-Zero Grand Prix races, which take place on specially constructed circuit tracks located all over the universe. Pilots manning the futuristic race machines -- which sprint at mind-numbing speeds -- come from all over the universe hoping to claim honor and gigantic sums of prize money. Among these pilots, there are two that have recently been gaining in popularity. They are Rick Wheeler, a new face on the F-Zero circuit, and Captain Falcon, the man behind the mysterious mask. Many have heard of Falcon's exploits, but few know Rick Wheeler's background. Soon, on the racetracks of the F-Zero circuit, these two will become embroiled in a sinister plot... Characters: Captain Falcon, Rick Wheeler, Black Shadow, Zoda, Jody Summer, Samurai Goroh, Dr. Stewart, Jack Levin and many others. How to progress through the game: Defeat increasingly difficult Grand Prix circuits to open others, or play through Story mode to watch the plot unfold. As you overcome the racing challenges of each character in Story mode, other characters' plot lines will become available. Special powers/weapons/moves/features: As with all F-Zero games, you can use a speed boost after the first lap of a race at the expense of your Energy Meter, which you can replenish by driving over Pit Areas. You can also ride over Jump Plates to launch into the air and double-tap the L or R Button to bash into opposing racers. UPDATE LATE TUESDAY NIGHT
Tuesday, May 11th
Also of note, the Nintendo game page says "A cutthroat cyber-chaser that parallels the upcoming TV series!" So I assume the anime series is coming to America. Tuesday, May 4th While not an E3 update, the new GBA
commercial entitled "Freeboy" shows two F-Zero racers. |

From the web site, it looks as if the
e-Reader functions are being left out for the North American release.
Other than that, not much appears to have changed. It's unknown at this
time whether the e-Reader extras will be built-in to the game or not.
