Nintendo Life: F-Zero has always been Nintendo’s way of flaunting how on the cutting-edge of technology it can be when it so chooses. Like a bat out of Hell, the original F-Zero launched alongside the Super NES to draw a clear distinction between where 16-bit Nintendid and SEGagged. Later on N64, F-Zero X boasted 30 on-screen polygonal racers and brought both multiplayer and combat manoeuvres into the fold, and GameCube sequel F-Zero GX (ironically, developed by SEGA) arguably perfected the futuristic racer with its white-knuckle difficulty, beautiful scenery and vehicle creation.
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.😞
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.
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.
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?
It's been a decade since the last F-Zero game. We speak to the developers who love it most, and look at the impact it's had.
The original F-Zero is one of my favourite games of all time, purchased it on launch day back in 1992 and still play it now 22 years later!
Releasing this week in the Nintendo eShop is the classic 2D platformer Super Mario Bros. 3 from Nintendo for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U Virtual Console as well as Golden Sun and F-Zero: Maximum Velocity, also from Nintendo, for Wii U Virtual Console and LEGO The Hobbit from Warner Bro. Interactive.
There's also deal on Origin where you can get Dead Space 1 for free right now. If you guys didn't already know.
I wouldn't say 20 bucks is massive, but whatever!
Anyway, I'm playing AC3 on Wii U right, and I love it. It's so nice to have your whole HuD on the gamepad.
