AJ Lysiak writes: "Sadly, Video-Game music is often stereotyped as being “not really music at all.” Some think Video-Games will forever feature retro 8-Bit stylized music. While others find it humorous that anyone might sit down and listen to say, a well composed Final Fantasy album.
The point is that this genre of music as a whole is not well respected. Ironically, songs like the “Halo Theme,” The Immortals' set of Mortal Kombat tunes, or the “Mario Theme” can garner a universal following which is virtually unquestioned. Yet to the average non-gamer or casual-gamer, the Advent Children version of FF7's “One Winged Angel” for example might sound like a silly mush; and not the beautifully orchestrated piece it actually is. Here are some soundtracks to games that are not as well known compared to the likes of big-hit RPGs and classics."
F-Zero 99 is a fantastic new way to play the franchise, but it falls far short of a new game built for modern hardware.
I would have loved a F-Zero GX remake, not remaster, or a brand new F-Zero game.😞
Was Tetris 99 a new game built for modern hardware? What about Mario 99?
Does this person not know that Fzero 99 is built on the SNES title? Were they actually expecting a brand new Fzero game? hahahahaha
Also, what's with all of the spammy ass tags?
Let’s break out the wine glasses and celebrate the legacy of the last great entry in this overlooked Nintendo racing franchise with F-Zero GX!
I bought this for GameCube the day it released, it was fantastic and I think a Switch port would totally hold up as well as Metroid Prime did. I would buy this again…
Does that say something good for the game or something bad about the progress of graphics over 20 years?
It would be a day one buy for me if this was re-released on the Switch. My favorite racing game on the Switch is Fast RMX. I would like a sequel to that game as well.
The AX tracks are hidden on GX on the GameCube. Weird how you can only access them using a Datel cheat disc.
Absolutely loved this game. Nintendo needs to stop messing around and give us a new F-Zero.
I think they're scared of releasing a new entry after all this time and the sales don't meet their expectations. There are very few racing games I'd pay full price for, but a new F-Zero? I would get a limited edition if they offered it.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "I love F-Zero GX. I loved it back then, and I love it to this day. It has aged like the finest cabernet sauvignon. And because of that, I almost understand why Nintendo has never developed or greenlit a proper follow-up: there is just nothing you can do to topple it. It would be the one instance I’d be totally okay with just re-releasing a remaster, as the final product is just too good, too damn near perfect. But that doesn’t mean I don’t miss a new F-Zero. Even though games like Fast RMX and Pacer have managed to scratch the itch, F-Zero GX just hits differently. The best futuristic racing game of all time? Absolutely. The best racing game of all time in general? It’s a plausible discussion. Happy 20th anniversary F-Zero GX. You freaking phenomenal piece of software."
Nice to see someone choose something besides a complete list of Sqaure/Enix soundtracks.
Missing the OST for Zone of the Enders 2.
Any of the Silent Hill soundtracks deserve a mention.
Beautiful and terrifying soundtracks.
