Hardcore Gamer: It's that time again -- a new Wii U Virtual Console release is out, so make sure to charge and dust off your Gamepad! The SNES classic F-Zero can now be yours for a mere 30 cents until March 21. That gives you plenty of time to reignite your love for the game, and listen to the tremendous soundtrack as well.
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.
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.
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MON.... Oh, it's only 30p? Thanks Nintendo, last time I got this much entertainment for such a low price I was throwing loose change over the edge of the Eiffel Tower at the pedestrians below.
About to grab this right now...
A must buy.
