"Wipeout 64," released in 1998 for the Nintendo 64, is an exhilarating racing game set in a futuristic world where players pilot anti-gravity ships across various high-speed tracks. Building on the foundations laid by its predecessors in the Wipeout series, which began on the Sony PlayStation, this installment stands out as the first in the series to be developed specifically for a Nintendo console. The game offers a selection of unique tracks, each with its own set of challenges, sharp turns, and vertigo-inducing loops. Players can choose from several different anti-gravity craft, each differing in terms of speed, handling, and acceleration characteristics, which they must skillfully navigate through races while utilizing speed boosts and power-ups to outpace competitors.
Significantly, "Wipeout 64" introduced new features to the series, such as the Challenge mode, where players must meet specific objectives across races, time trials, and weapon-based tests. The game supports up to four players in split-screen multiplayer mode, a popular feature on the Nintendo 64, enhancing its replay value and competitive edge. Graphically, the game was praised for its smooth frame rates and detailed environments, pushing the capabilities of the Nintendo 64 hardware. The soundtrack, retaining the electronic vibe characteristic of the series, also received acclaim, contributing to the immersive, high-octane atmosphere that defined "Wipeout 64" as a memorable and innovative entry in the racing genre during the late 90s.
