RetroCollect - In 2003 Nintendo released the highly anticipated follow up to their futuristic racing series with F-Zero GX. Upon release, the game also sped into the arcades with F-Zero AX, an adapted version of the game. Although it was assumed these were different games, the arcade game has been found sat dormant within F-Zero GX and is very much accessible.
After 22 years, the GameCube's classic futuristic racer F-Zero GX is finally getting a modern re-release on Nintendo Switch 2.
I guess if this is the only way to get a F-Zero game on the Switch 2... thanks Nintendo.
actually Shin'en are making a new entry in their Fast Racing series as well for the Switch 2. Which to me was always the spiritual successor to the F-Zero franchise anyways.
But GX is literally the best entry in the series I find personally, so this is amazing news.
Oh, I know about Shin'en's game and I'm happy about that. I always wondered why Nintendo just didn't give them the license so they can work on F-Zero. Seeing how Nintendo apparently doesn't care for it anymore.
Difficult games on the Gamecube? Who would have thought there would be any on this platform. Here are the most difficult Gamecube games ever.
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.😞
The problems with that are it'd probably weigh in at a full price game and it wouldn't include the AX tracks that are weirdly in the GameCube version but can't be accessed.
Actually I thihk you can get the AX tracks but it's really hard to do it. https://www.reddit.com/r/Ga...
But I think you might still need to find the arcade of AX, that would be nearly impossible today. There is hope, there is a rom hack for the GC rom that has all the AX tracks in there. 😁 Just search for: F-Zero AX Direct Boot
This. Why Nintendo won’t fan service us with this and give Wave Race the same treatment is beyond me. Switch 2 launch games would sell them out of consoles, but we’ll prolly just get another Mario because they figure that’s enough. Sadly, they are correct.
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?

That's pretty cool. I love when people find stuff like this hidden in a game. I still remember the day I saw a video on how to play as Master Hand in Melee. That wasn't found out for quite a few years after the game was out.
Amazing game, hope we get a new one for the wiiu
I just so happen to own both this game and an Action Replay, might have to check this out.
Pretty cool but this has got to be the slowest hack ever. Well then again its a gamecube game so i guess no1 really cared that much.
I'm just playing but yea this is some kinda late.
