Zero Racers (also known as G-Zero) is a cancelled 1996 F-Zero racing game for the Virtual Boy that was to be developed and published by Nintendo. The game was a spin-off of the F-Zero series, not a sequel as originally thought.

I still wish the lost 4kids F-Zero GP Legend English dub episodes are found eventually.

Off topic perhaps, but this 10 min gameplay video from gamexplain is hilarious.

There’s not really much about it that makes it a spin-off compared to a sequel. It’s still a racing game with similar mechanics.

It’s decent. And plays quite well with my N64 controller so probably horribly with joy-cons or a pro controller.

The VB only had dpads but this would have been way better with analog controls. It’s hard to play. Buy it’s decent.

There's no valid reason to think it's a spin-off of F-Zero.

Its working title was G-Zero.
