Zero Racers[a] is an unreleased racing video game that was in development and planned to be published by Nintendo on a scheduled 1996 release date exclusively for the Virtual Boy. Had it been released prior to cancellation, it would have become the first F-Zero installment to have featured 3D graphics. In the game, players can choose between one of four characters, each with their respective hovercar and race against AI-controlled characters in fifteen tracks divided into three leagues. The title was previewed in video game magazines, erroneously reported to have appeared at E3 1996, but it was ultimately shelved due to the failure of the Virtual Boy itself, despite being completed for release. According to a Nintendo of America employee, the game was complete, having been rated by the ESRB and materials having been made for a physical release.
