> new Star Fox or F-Zero game
I love F-Zero and dumped a lot of time into it when I was 13 but F-Zero GX was so insanely inaccessible to new players. None of my friends ever wanted to play split-screen because it required intimate knowledge of the controls, tracks, and machines in addition to crackerjack timing on the controller. Mario Kart is a lot more successful because it's the exact opposite. Although I'd love another F-Zero game I understand why they aren't bothering.
- flybrand 3y agoThere's a great YouTube video that shows how the first attempt to make a sequel to F-Zero is what turned into Mario Kart! So every time you play super-accessible Mario, that is in fact a sequel.
- NickC25 3y agoOh yeah, it's not for the Mario Kart crowd - it's a lot more hardcore than that. But for those of us who liked fast, technical racing games, F-Zero was a dream. Would love it if Nintendo released an F-Zero with an easy mode, and a hard mode. F-Zero X had that mode that generated new tracks randomly. If only that could be packaged into a modern game.....
