F-Zero 99 is based on the SNES racing game F-Zero, and it features courses and machines from the original game in multiplayer races. In the game, your Power Meter is your key to first place, and it will decrease if you crash, or you can use some of it to fuel a temporary speed boost. If the meter runs out, you’re eliminated. You can even complete goals while racing to unlock cosmetic options for your machine. F-Zero 99 is available today exclusively for active Nintendo Switch Online members.
You can now toot your own horn in Trombone Champ, available today through the eShop and the My Nintendo Store. Using a trombone, you can toot through over 45 songs in this rhythm music game.

The game also finds you collecting cards and meeting mysterious characters along your way to becoming the top brass of the Trombiverse.
