There may be no sign of a sequel in development for the Wii U, but believe me, Dust off that Wii, and you’ve still got a console capable of playing what is, in my opinion, the greatest futuristic racer ever created.
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.😞
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 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.
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.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "I love F-Zero GX. I loved it back then, and I love it to this day. It has aged like the finest cabernet sauvignon. And because of that, I almost understand why Nintendo has never developed or greenlit a proper follow-up: there is just nothing you can do to topple it. It would be the one instance I’d be totally okay with just re-releasing a remaster, as the final product is just too good, too damn near perfect. But that doesn’t mean I don’t miss a new F-Zero. Even though games like Fast RMX and Pacer have managed to scratch the itch, F-Zero GX just hits differently. The best futuristic racing game of all time? Absolutely. The best racing game of all time in general? It’s a plausible discussion. Happy 20th anniversary F-Zero GX. You freaking phenomenal piece of software."
Never played it but it looks really fun.
Just a reminder; if anyone is looking for a hold-over title till the next F-Zero, Shin-en is hard at work on Fast Racing Neo and will be revealing the first screenshots of it very soon!^_-
The problem is most people where crushed by the difficulty. This was a pro release only. There was nothing casual about it. Many people just couldn't hang. It's like finding people that are still good at battle toads or people who have beat kid Icuras.
The game would have to be casual - ized some how with a different mode. The current group of gamers could not handle a real f zero.
