That's it, Nintendo Switch Online subscribers can finally enjoy a new addition, and be careful, it's a great classic for the Game Boy Advance.
As you know, Nintendo Switch Online has a beautiful library full of games that can be described as cult. For example, it recently hosted titles like Mario Golf and Mario Tennis or even Dr Mario. Well, we only took examples that revolve around the famous plumber, but you get the idea. Of course, Big N's service is not going to stop there. So, today he benefited from a new addition to his ranks, and that's no joke. We're talking about a simply legendary franchise.

A classic from the era comes to Nintendo Switch Online
So, who is our guest today? Well, it's none other than F-Zero Maximum Velocity, which we already talked about a little while ago. This opus may not mean anything to you, but the license is cult. It's a true Game Boy Advance classic, which is now available in the Nintendo Switch Online + Add-on Pack. If we add to this F-Zero 99, we see that the saga is opening up more and more to a new audience. Of course, it's not done via a brand new game, but that's already a win. Who knows, depending on their success, it could encourage the firm to put together a sequel, after more than 20 years of waiting.
Coming back to F-Zero Maximum Velocity, it sets its setting 25 years after the events of the first opus. It features a new generation of drivers who will have to prove themselves. It's up to you to prove to the galaxy that you are the best in racing aboard your different ships. It won't be an easy task, but if not, do we really deserve the title “Elite”? In any case, if you are not familiar with the franchise, you can go for it with your eyes closed, it's a real treat.
As you may have noticed, you must be a subscriber to Nintendo Switch Online + Additional Pack to have access to it. If this is your case, you can have access to it “for free” (the subscription is still paid, so we put quotation marks). But such an addition to the catalog may convince more than one to take the plunge. Particularly among the more nostalgic among us. Yes, F-Zero Maximum Velocity dates from 2001. It doesn't seem like it, but it's been a long time since it was released. In short, all that to say that it’s a great experience not to be missed.
