Seriousless News - Death and Rebirth: F-Zero

Myst writes: "It has been eight years since my eyes have feasted upon the race track, eight years too long for my liking. For far too long a racer of my caliber should not be kept from the rush and pulsating rhythm of the engine roaring as my machine and I glide down the track. Back then racing was my life it was all I had and I was strived to be more, to be the best! I raced far and wide conquering many tracks, enlisted in the grand prix and set myself up for fame; but alas something has gone awry. Though long ago are those moments that they are nothing but sweet memories for this old racer. Still I long for the days to race down the track pitting my life against the elements and others.If I could ask the sponsors of the grand prix why is it that a new competition hasn’t been made? Why can I not test my mettle against those who claim to be the best? When will my eyes feast upon a new F-Zero?"

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.

Neonridr70d 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.

shadowhaxor70d 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.

@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.

PRIMORDUS635d ago (Edited 635d ago )

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

Agent75635d 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.

PRIMORDUS635d ago (Edited 635d 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

Abear21635d 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.

Soy635d ago

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?
