Why F-Zero Disappeared, And What it Needs to Make a Comeback

GenGAME writes: "I think the problem that the latest incarnations of F-Zero have faced has everything to do with presentation and little to do with the content itself. If the series wants to rewrite itself for Wii U, I think it’s going to need to re-align with the demographic that went out and bought it in the first place."

Take F zero GX put it online 30 player/racers per lobby. HD. Voice and video conference options. Get rid of the stupid metal guitar tracks insert real good music. Refine the chracters so they're pretty cool and call it F Zero U.

Not that I disagree with the guy who wrote this article but I think you should rewrite it. It only took you a few sentences and I cant agree with you more!

F-Zero GX coming to Switch 2 via GameCube classic game library

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.

Neonridr73d ago

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.

@shadowhaxor - I'd love them to be given the license. Would be a no-brainer.

F-Zero 99 is Peak Nintendo, But Not the F-Zero We Wanted

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.

PRIMORDUS638d ago (Edited 638d ago )

I would have loved a F-Zero GX remake, not remaster, or a brand new F-Zero game.😞

Agent75638d ago

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.

PRIMORDUS638d ago (Edited 638d ago )

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.

If you want more F-Zero, make sure to give this one some love then.

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?
