DHGF: People ask me all the time why my first console purchase of every generation is Nintendo brand. After all, starting with the Nintendo 64, their systems have been rather bare bones in terms of RPG’s and for someone who likes them so much to consciously make that choice seems like a strange one. There are a couple of related reasons for this:
1) Nintendo first-party releases are compelling enough to make me buy a whole system just to play them.
2) They have crazy good multiplayer games.
Final Fantasy has a long running history with numerous numbered titles and spin-offs, but which games stand to benefit from a remake?
Agreed. Ff2 though can be made better, so it's not entirely a lost cause. Ff8 will gets its time. I do wish they'd do the old ones. From ff10 and up those ones still hold up pretty well.
Honestly, I've always felt that VII and up 'hold up well' in that regard. The early 3D games just needed a cosmetic update. But the FFVII Remake is so different to the original in execution that a lot of games could be done in a similar fashion and feel far more modern.
I'm not saying that's a good or bad thing (that depends on your personal preference!), just that they could feel very different.
Kevco I liked remake but I think your right. Idda been happy with a 1 to 1 remake that looked like ever crisis to. Or both
I'd just love I square would one day give us a turned based one with today's graphics. I can't really think of a jrpg that does that.
I'd rather the 13 trilogy just be ported tbh. No matter what you think if it, it shouldn't be the only numbered offline games not playable on new consoles. But naturally I'd play the **** out of 8-12 remakes.
I do agree. I'd give it another shot even though I didn't like it at first. My taste change over time. Gta 4 for instance I was so disappointed it lacked so much of what san andreas had I didn't play it for like 5 years. One day went to a semi pro football game(American football) came home drunk and decided to try 4 again. I actually liked it after giving it a fair shot.
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?
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 says something good about the game. Some age well and some don’t. Standard practice for games today and features can’t be compared to 2003 because we simply weren’t there yet. Features that are standard now hadn’t even been dreamed up yet back then, it’s called progress, everything is changing incrementally all the time.
If you don’t see the ridiculously impressive difference in graphics between games released today vs 20 years ago then you don’t really know what you’re talking about. Games are approaching film quality CG in real time now. You sound like an entitled kid who doesn’t know how good he has it, who also wasn’t even here 20 years ago.
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.
As long as Nintendo made the AX tracks accessible. They’re hidden in GX on the GameCube.
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.
