NOTES: Developed by Nintendo EAD and HAL Laboratory. A 3D sequel to the 1987 Famicom Grand Prix: F1 Race. The game was compatible with the Famicom 3D System, a 3D technology which consists of a pair of active shutter glasses and an adapter to connect them to the Famicom's third player expansion port. Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally was shown to Nintendo of America, who heavily criticized the game, particularly the "cute" design of the vehicles, and stated it would not sell. NOA's rejection of the title upset and motivated EAD director Kazunobu Shimizu to overhaul the look of the drivers featured in his next racing game, F-Zero. EAD Programmer Yasunari Nishida, would use much of the 3D technology experimentation and raster effects to develop mode 7 technology used in F-Zero.
