I want every game on switch. I don't get these threads. I can't think of one game that I wouldn't want the added gift of portability for. Give me everything!
Sometimes I lie awake at night wondering if Nintendo is even still aware of F-Zero GX and how brilliant it is
They are aware it flopped harder than any game they make yes. I often wonder if people think publishers are charities.
Yes, because I kinda fear that GX is lightning in a bottle and it can't be topped.

Would you want to risk another F-Zero or would you want a DX treatment with updated graphics, 8 new tracks, 5 new characters, maybe a new mode and of course online play of 30 or if not at least 16 racers.
I'd buy it. I would even rather have a new one, IF there is someone who could actually make that today. Could Sega still pull it off? Does Nintendo have the ability (or will) to make a really challenging futuristic racer? MK is so, so different. And as we've all heard, Miyamoto apparently didn't like how GX turned out, for some unfathomable reason. Maybe because it was such a difficult game. Or maybe it just didn't sell very well. I do NOT want an easy, casual F-Zero. If that's what it would be I'd rather they just not bother.
Did it really? It sold over 100k in Japan and made player's choice in North America. I don't remember the sales threshold but it was under a million.
I want a new, modern F-Zero.
As good as the old ones are, the gameplay isn't up to date anymore.
it was about the sales they were disappointed with. they just never say that directly and make up something else.
after all, anyone who invested like they did on that game and got a bomb would be pretty disappointed.
some games that bomb got put in the Player's Choice line to give them a second chance at $20. GX was one of those. if it had actually made it to a million, we'd have seen it in a sales compilation thread here on GAF a long time ago.
F-Zero GX needs analog triggers.
I hate this line of thinking from Miyamoto that a good game isn't worth making if it isn't doing something new. Don't over think things! Messing with the formula is what ruined Star Fox Zero.
I'm kind of with Miyamoto - and will say as they don't really need to do anything new, a port of GX is fine by me.
The best thing about Nintendo blowing their load of heavy hitters in Switch's first year - hopefully it means they'll have to dig deeper into their catalogue for year 2 & 3.
I'm really sick of the last word on this series being their "no ideas" comment, or that people think it won't sell enough. Just like Metroid, it's been long enough that it's mere existence would be fine for most fans, and to everyone younger it'd essentially be all new (even a GX HD). The western world still hasn't had a track editor either, so that'd be pretty damn new! I hoped they'd continue the "Maker" series with an F-Zero Maker (or others) but nope...
It's just so annoying and we all know why - at times, they're happy to release cookie cutter games with minimal innovation. And at others, happy to release library-fillers that don't sell gangbusters. I was really surprised to see token Kirby and Yoshi games show up at E3... I thought after Wii U they'd be trying to have more variety in their lineup, something to attract new buyers and not the same old crowd.
I had a great time with Woolly World but it wasn't that long ago; i just don't think i care whatever they're doing there now (and so far it doesn't look like they're doing much). They're gonna run those series into the ground they way they're going.
"No ideas" aside, i'm surprised they haven't bought F-Zero back for it's IP potential alone. Do they realise how many amiibo they could make with all the characters it has? Sure you've got some throwaways in there, but the 4 original characters and a bunch of the others could work. Make them pullback toys or cross promo with Hot Wheels or Scalextric! Just please don't turn F-Zero into a character action game of some sort, they've got enough of those already!
Thank you. Another Kirby and Yoshi? Really? Ok maybe Kirby was a Wii U game as we didn't get a traditional Kirby game on that, but why another Yoshi so soon? These games would have been perfect for 2019. Would have been more excited for them.
Give me F-Zero (preferably GX, I honestly don't believe they could make something better right now!), a new Pilotwings, Advance Wars. Make a full on new Balloon Fight or Ice Climbers (even if it's eshop only like Dr. Mario on Wii U)
Takaya Imamura said:Of course, since I have worked on the F-Zero series, and seeing the results of the collaboration with Sega, I found myself at something of a loss as to how we can take the franchise further past F-Zero GX and AX.
Heck we are getting more Kirby games than Mario Party games lately. More Fire Emblem games than Mario Sports games.
thank god they decided against online
I can't see them rehashing GX. I feel like we'll have an original F Zero on Switch in a few years.
Shin'en are 5 guys.

are you insinuating that F-Zero GX's gameplay has been left behind by modern (i'm guessing imaginary) futuristic racers?
man i just realized this is true.NO, F-Zero is unplayable with digital triggers. Switch and the Wii/u don't have analog triggers so forget about it
I haven't played any racers with comparable gameplay, but I played F-Zero GX a year ago or so an I had the feeling that this gameplay could have evolved and its noticeable that this is more than 10 years old.
the thing with GX is that, when someone criticizes its gameplay, i can't know if they were just playing by what the game manual said, or if they read something on the internet about how to play better or not, and, if not, if they were able to figure it out by themselves or not. All this is critical to the experience that you may have with the game.
I want it at 4K 60fps w/ HDR but I'll settle for 1080p 60fps with online play.
