F-Zero media
F-Zero is a futuristic racing video game franchise originally created by Nintendo EAD and has been continually published by Nintendo, although the company has let outside development houses work on some installments. The series premiered in Japan on November 21, 1990, with F-Zero, which later was released in the North American in August 1991 and in the PAL Region in 1992. An original installment appeared on every succeeding Nintendo video game console with the exception of the Game Boy Color from its debut until 2004. GP Legend marked the first time the franchise hit a gaming system twice in its lifetime in the United States. The 2004 release of Climax was the last video game in the franchise before its hiatus. Since then, multiple video games were re-released through Nintendo's digital distribution channels. The series currently includes eight released video games, a television series, and video game soundtracks released on audio CDs.
