F-Zero: Adrenaline is an upcoming futuristic racer game, developed by Amuza. The game is set to be exclusive for the Wii U.
The game follows after the F-Zero X Grand Prix when the Federal Congress redesigned the laws for F-Zero Grand Prix, equipping every car with a Speed of Light boost. The new feature of the game is the Adrenaline Meter which replaces the Boost Meter from previous games.
Gameplay[]
The game handles much similar to that of past installments in the F-Zero franchise. Each player picks a racer and competes in four different cups, each consisting of five different tracks. Each race consists of 30 different racers like in previous installments.
F-Zero: Adrenaline retains the series' difficulty, high-speed racing, and the basic gameplay and control system from the Gamecube title, F-Zero GX.
The new mechanic of the game is the Adrenaline Meter, which essentially replaces the Boost Meter from previous games. The Adrenaline Meter acts as the player's boost left and their energy left, meaning that timing your boosts becomes strategic so you don't use too much of it and crash partway through tracks. To build up the Adrenaline Meter, the player will have to perform stunts such as performing flips in the air, weaving between other racers, or having a near miss with other racers.
New Modes[]
There are also a few new modes including Kamikaze, where half the cars go one way and half the cars go the other and the last car not demolished wins, as well as Running Man, where one player is designated and will get points when being designated but being tagged will change the designation, Last Man Standing and Team Last Man Standing, where the last car not destroyed wins, Assassination, where one player is designated to be destroyed and players will earn points for damaging the designated car.
