third paragraph
The video game console industry is a two-sided market where hardware firms charge consumers for their consoles and royalties to software developers. These royalty fees are a primary component to a hardware firm's revenue who may even forgo profit on console sales in exchange for greater royalty fees.(paragraph 1 and 5) The goal is to create a large consumer installed base to rally confidence among video game developers to release software for their platform. This results in a positive feedback loop, known as the network effect, if successful. Consumer confidence improves thus increasing the hardware installed base. Consumers would ultimately increase the amount of complimentary products, like a large library of compatible video games.(paragraph 1 and 5) The PlayStation 2 has over 10,828 software titles, and 1.52 billion units of software were sold worldwide as of December 2010. Nintendo DS has over 2,000 software titles (as of August 2013), and 948.44 million units of software sold worldwide as of September 2016.

Localization
Due to licensing issues involving the characters theme songs within Western distributors of the Tatsunoko franchises, none of the remixed themes of either the Capcom or Tatsunoko characters from the Japanese localization are featured in the English localizations of the game.

Specific character theme music were removed. Why?

F-Zero
Tracks may feature jump plates and dash zones for temporarily boosting speeds when vehicles drive over them. The former launch vehicles into the air for a few seconds which may provide an opportunity for cutting sections of track and often speed up vehicles, but the user must take care to land properly or his or her vehicle will land harshly which will slow down

replenishes energy, while the latter gives a speed boost without using up any energy.

Jump plates launch vehicles into the air for a few seconds providing an opportunity for cutting sections of track and often speed up the vehicle using them, but the user must take care to land properly or his or her vehicle will land harshly which will slow down. Dash zones give a large speed boost to vehicles. F-Zero includes two modes of play. In the Grand Prix mode, the player chooses a league and races against other vehicles through each track in that league while avoiding disqualification. The Practice mode allows the player to practice seven of the courses from the Grand Prix mode.

F-Zero X

 * "F-Zero X' is built for speed
 * The Tampa Tribune - November 27, 1998
 * Author: Mitch Schafer

If riding Busch Gardens' Montu roller coaster is your idea of a good time, then pop " F-Zero X" into your Nintendo 64 console and you'll experience the same exhilaration.

You are the pilot of a futuristic racing machine called the F-Zero, which uses an opposing-gravity propulsion system called the "G-Diffuser." Hovering just inches above the track on courses set high above cities, these craft are capable of tremendous speeds. And speed is what this game is all about. The graphics aren't eye-popping, but who cares when you're flying by at 60 frames per second. At times, it's a struggle just to keep your machine on the serpentine racetracks. And as you hurtleupside down through tunnels, it's easy to become disoriented. (Motion-sensitive folks might want to down some Dramamine before getting behind the joystick).

The game features five modes: In GP Race (Grand Prix), you take on 29 computer-controlled machines. There are three cups to choose from (beginner, intermediate and advanced), each consisting of six tracks. Practice mode lets you try out the GP courses with different machines. Time Attack pits you against the clock, and Vs Battle lets two or four players race simultaneously. Death Race is a demolition derby between you and 29 computer-controlled cars. Your mission is to attack and destroy the other racers before they get you.

If you're into more realistic racing titles such as "NASCAR '99" and "F-1 World Grand Prix," " F-Zero X" might not appeal to you. But for those seeking a major adrenalin rush, this game leaves all others in the dust.

F-Zero X (N64):

This game is a must for speed freaks. Graphics aside, F-Zero X will wow you with its sheer velocity, number of cars and selection of courses. It may not be as pretty as other racers, but you'll probably be too teary-eyed to notice. Grade: B

This adds strategy, as players with greater knowledge of the circuits can make better decisions.(says who?)
