Set in 2098, just a year after [[Wipeout 2097]], Wipeout 64 introduces several elements to the Wipeout series: analog control is embraced, thanks to the Nintendo 64's in-built analog stick, to the extent that digital control - familiar to players of the previous games - is disabled, even though the controller has a digital pad. Analog control left and right was only possible on previous games for owners of Namco's neGcon controller and owners of the [[PC]] versions, which would make use of an analog stick if available. | |||

Split-screen multiplayer makes an appearance for the first time, as does Challenge Mode – where the player has to complete sets of challenges in predefined classes and tracks: either getting the fastest time (Time trial), the highest placing (Race), or eliminating the most opponents (Weapon). | Split-screen multiplayer makes an appearance for the first time, as does Challenge Mode – where the player has to complete sets of challenges in predefined classes and tracks: either getting the fastest time (Time trial), the highest placing (Race), or eliminating the most opponents (Weapon). | ||
