After years of silence regarding a new F-Zero, it might be time to consider this franchise dead.
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.
I considered this franchise dead since the Wii era. It’s only kept relavancy because Captain Falcon is a SSB mainstay
More like hiatus. The franchise certainly has gaps in its console releases, so until someone from Nintendo comes forward and says the IP is dead, it's not.
1. Nintendo is too tight to fund something from the ground up. If they did work on it, it would probably be based on the MK8 engine, and what's the point?
2. Characters. This series doesn't feature Mario or whoever, so it's a hard sell with limited potential for cashing in on Amiibos etc.
3. Why bother, when they can just sell a Wii U port for $60 ?
Fzero GX remake/remaster with added online and quality of life Improvements.
The gameplay on that game still holds up amazingly well.
They must do this!!!
