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.

Neonridr20d 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.

shadowhaxor20d ago

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.

Neonridr20d ago

@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.

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

Agent75585d 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.

PRIMORDUS584d ago (Edited 584d 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

Abear21585d ago

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.

Soy585d ago

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

sadraiden585d ago (Edited 585d ago )

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?

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…

z2g606d ago

Does that say something good for the game or something bad about the progress of graphics over 20 years?

ShwaaMan604d ago

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.

hduce606d 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.

Agent75606d ago

As long as Nintendo made the AX tracks accessible. They’re hidden in GX on the GameCube.

Agent75606d ago

The AX tracks are hidden on GX on the GameCube. Weird how you can only access them using a Datel cheat disc.

DarXyde606d ago

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.
