This announcement comes on the heels of hover racer F-ZERO X making its debut on Nintendo’s N64 online library back in early March, and now joins the already available Mario Tennis and Mario Kart 64 as the next sports-related titles from the Mushroom Kingdom to hit the N64 library. More details below.
