List of F-Zero media

This is a list of media related to Nintendo's "F-Zero" video game franchise. "F-Zero" is a series of futuristic racing games originally created by Nintendo EAD (originally Research & Development Team 4) and has been continually produced by Nintendo although the company has let outside development houses work on some installments. It is regarded as an influential video game franchise for its genre inspiring the creation of titles such as "Daytona USA" [cite web| url= http://cube.ign.com/articles/356/356325p1.html |title= Interview: F-Zero AC/GC|accessdate= 2008-09-01|author=IGN Staff |date= 2002-03-28 |publisher=IGN] and the "Wipeout" series.

The first installment of the series premiered in Japan in 1990, and "F-Zero" games have subsequently appeared for various markets including Japan, North America and Europe, on nearly every Nintendo video game console and handheld, more specifically the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, the Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo GameCube, and on Wii's Virtual Console service. Excluding Japan, the series usually has landed on a video game system once in its lifetime. "F-Zero: GP Legend" marks the first time the franchise has hit a gaming system twice in its lifetime in the US. [cite web|url = http://gameboy.ign.com/articles/549/549675p1.html |title = F-Zero GP Legend| accessdate = 2007-08-13|last = Harris|first = Craig |authorlink =Craig Harris (journalist)|date = 2004-09-20 |publisher = IGN] Currently the series includes eight video games released as part of the main franchise, a TV series, and video game soundtracks released on audio CDs.

Video games

The idea of a "direct sequel", that is, a game which directly relates to the story or world from a previous game in the series, is inconsistent within this franchise. Some of the titles followed the events of the previous game to some extent. However, there are a number of reboot continuities among the GBA games and those released on the home consoles that are sequels of each other contain contradictions.
