From VGC: "A Nintendo shareholder reportedly asked Nintendo to release a new F-Zero game during its annual general meeting on Tuesday.
As reported by NStyles, during the Q&A portion of the meeting one shareholder asked if the company had any plans for new titles or remakes related to past IPs.
They then specifically mentioned games by name they’d like to see, including F-Zero, Baten Kaitos, Wario Land, The Frog For Whom the Bell Tolls, Trade & Battle: Card Hero and Chōsōjū Mecha MG."
F-Zero has been a dormant franchise for a couple of decades now. In fact, if it weren’t for the obvious appearances that Captain Falcon has been making in Super Smash Bros. games, you could get the impression that Nintendo has forgotten all about the series.
Have a new F-Zero hit within the first 2 years of Switch 2 and watch it sell away.
Maybe Nintendo should learn to drop the prices on their games if they want more sales. I have seen games that are 4 years old on store shelves at full price.
I've had treasure tracker for the switch bookmarked since it was released waiting for the price to hit my sweet spot of 30 bucks...still waiting...
We haven't seen a lot of franchise's from Nintendo. Mario will always stay as the shit stain of Nintendo. Mario games are fun and Kirby but some times you get tired of seeing Mario everywhere literally everywhere. They are playing it safe.
F-Zero is one of Nintendo's most neglected franchises, but the high-speed racing title could stand out from Mario Kart and utilize modern graphics.
In the 16-bit era, game devs and composers could finally change the type of tones used in the music, simulating a wider array of instruments and creating a whole lot of great soundtracks in the process.
It wasn’t easy picking out the best of the best because there were so many great ones. Even middle-of-the-road soundtracks seemed to deserve a bump if the game was just that damn good, and so many from that era are that damn good!
Here's the Ghetto Gamer list of top 20 soundtracks from the 16-bit era.
That'll be cool to see some of these tbh
Never played F-Zero but I would buy a action game with Captain Falcon from Smash instead of a racing game.
Nintendo has such a gold mine of IP its almost disgusting how they keep doing the same few things over and over. Why can't we have a new Earthbound, Star Tropics, F Zero, Waverace, 1080 Snowboarding, Diddy Kong Racing, Illusion of Gaia, Kid Icarus, etc etc etc.
They could even just enhance and release many of their 3DS games for the Switch and they would sell like crazy! Instead they will make their old school fans suffer by putting characters from those in a new Smash Bros making us think they care about those IP, only to disregard them. Im surprised we got a new 2d Metroid, I didn't think that would ever happen so maybe there's hope!
