I'd buy it.
WiiU is not GCN, the game deserves another chance, huge respect, this genre needs multiplayer also to achieve full potential,
And if we ever needed more reasons to call for Sega being purchased by Nintendo.... we now have one more.

This hurts my heart so bad. I've had so many great times with f-zero gx.

Sadly this.
And... what?
From minor mechanics to art styles these games are pretty far apart from one another.
Both great games, but scratch the itch in different ways.
And I agree with the Wut? about Link.
I thought his creation had been explained a long time ago.

Got to dumb it down to keep the casual players happy.
You're not allowed to have anything that's a challenge.
Any faster than a snail's pace and they'll be scraping along the side of the track for the whole lap.
Miyamoto said he would love to see a Metroid on Wii U so there's a bigger chance
Yep
My God
I forgot how hideous the HUD was e____e

And today's market is not yesterday's market especially for arcade racers. Also you guys do realize a sequel probably wouldn't live up to GX since Amusement Division wouldn't be developing. F-Zero was the perfect style of game for them.
Edit: I always forget how smooth GX was. Hopefully at the very least we get a HD remake of GX with 16 player online. I would honestly be satisfied as GX is pretty much perfection.
Yep
Fucking beautiful.
Sure it's pretty but I never got the driving part of any FZero game. I suck at them. I don't know how to handle those sharp bends. I think I'll enjoy very much Captain's Falcon Twister Race, the way you have to handle the obstacles seem fun.

FZero GX is too hardcore even for the hardcore.

That's a fucking abomination.
Knowing the track layout and using the two levels of drift is immensely satisfying, especially when you have a good muscle memory for it.
The fact that Miyamoto thinks fans will appreciate Twister Race is hilarious.
It's a racing game. New tracks are kind of a no bariner. It's not like people are going to ask that they make it an MMO.
Yep
Holy fuck. I want to play this game now! Good thing I bought this game for my brother last year, I should borrow it...

Regardless of Miyamoto's comments, I'm surprised at the level of complaining about the F-Zero attraction in Nintendoland.
Why does everyone want it to literally be a "real" F-Zero race? It's a wind up toy game.
It's like criticizing the Donkey Kong game for not playing anything like actual Donkey Kong, Mario Chase for failing to be a 3D Mario, and Battle Quest for not being a proper Zelda.

F-ZERO HERO: Mikami returns to Platinum to make this spiritual successor to God Hand starring Captain Falcon. GOTF.
Did you somehow miss the giant cast of characters in both X and GX? Octoman only has one of the best themes ever man.

- HD graphics
- Online mode
- New tracks
really, that's all you need to add after that many years
Add more story mode tracks and easier difficulty levels for the effeminate man-children that couldn't unlock the AX tracks like the sexy,-rugged gaming-gods like yours truly.

Miyamoto is surprised that people want more F-Zero. Fucking Nintendo these days.

Fucking people nowadays not buying F-Zero.

Well, Miyamoto doesn't have the final say on what's made or not. Especially these days, right? I can still see an updated GX for Wii U. Perhaps not a new game yet, but that should be enough for now.
But I would probably want more a new Wave Race or Stunt Race. I mean, there's no love for Stunt Race FX.

Yeah, those people piss me off, too!
I want an F-Zero GX successor so bad. I would buy a Wii U without hesitation.
That's the whole problem about Nintendo's philosophy about gaming and graphics right there.
To someone like me, simply giving FZero a whole immersion and spectacular boost IS changing the game's experience, cause its part of it...
It's funny as this comment from Shige reveals the exact reason Nintendo is disconnected with a part of the gaming market, and with the whole process of console generation as it was before the Wii.

I kinda get what he's saying.
F-Zero on the SNES was limited, F-Zero on the N64 was an improvement with 4 Player Support and tons of tracks, F-Zero on the GC topped it off.
There's really only so much innovation you can put into it - Of course you could make yet another great, polished F-Zero, but I guess Miyamoto wants to see some innovative stuff in his games. Yet another F-Zero GX in HD probably wouldn't be extremely exciting to develop.
Zelda is a goldmine in so far that you COULD do pretty much anything - it's an adventure game, it has RPG elements, you can explore countless environments, you can come up with insane puzzles, etc. - Meaning: The freaking Portal Gun could be one single tool in Zelda. You could keep developing that formula until the end of time and still come up with new ideas.
Doesn't mean they did that with the previous iterations, but the chance is there.
They haven't really topped off WaveRace yet... BlueStorm was more of a step backwards. GODDAMN.

Maybe it's because they figure this is the only chance they've got at seeing anything F-Zero related in the next few years, I think I might be onto something.

Shit, I didn't even know F-Zero GX bombed so hard. I remember me and a friend of mine checking the retail store every day to see if copies of the game arrived because the first batch was apparently sold out.
You got a point.
But I would say, of course Nintendo is making a FZero game.
Miyamoto is just being coy.

Blue Storm was a much better game. The weather effects and turbo shortcuts added so much to the game.
cant agree more, i saw all the perfection and sales comments, yeah i figured , pity. Surprised a lot of gaf here has good understanding what f-zero needs for potential, i haven't read posts before writing my list, couldn't resist, looking back now.
Man, we could do aka "operation rainfall" and explain why should they give another chance, with wiiu online and HD plus aiming for 75fps* could make what franchise needed to get exposure, and get results from as much polls in eu countries forums. And send FAX to Shibata hehe

I agree. BS gets shortchanged too often, but it was a such a fun and well designed game.

I'll agree that it would be difficult to top perfection, so why not port F-Zero GX to Wii U with HD and online? Sometimes you can just give us more of the same, Nintendo. This is one of those times. :'(

The next F-Zero simply must have a track editor.

And it was a terrible post. Because I remember playing as a wolf in LTTP or OoT. It was after the part with the boat but before the dual hookshot part. Nevermind the 2nd playthru that unlocked motion combat controls.
They just simply aren't global. They might be listening at home but in the West...
If only Nintendo had the Western development strength Sony first party has. Imagine that. AAA game every 2 months !
First Wipeout and now Miyamoto questioning why we want more fzero =(
All those story CG in fzero gx were a waste mostly. If all they had was a text bubble pop up before and after the race then I would be completely fine with that. I did like the mission stuff where you had to catch that samurai and avoid falling rocks, or escaping the exploding building while slipping through the closing gates. Would love to out run a flood, earthquake, or misslies all done more convincingly with more powerful modern hardware. They should continue to get more creative with the borders of the track too. The racing was great in GX as far as AI.
I would want more mission stuff, amazing locations that surprise me, more effects/more attention to detail, and a better soundtrack than GX. I think that if they add a mechanic that would temporary modify your boost or spin attack range regardless of vehicle stats would add something new to the mix. Another thing is the graphics, game should have us racing into clouds and the racers behind us can see our exhaust cutting the fog, even to the point to where if you boost in the cloud/fog it clears a large bubble behind you. Last is that they can add traps and multiple paths that depending on the vehicle type may or may not benefit you. Okay so announce it next year and all is forgiven Nintendo.

Probably because I was freaking fourteen years old when I played the last F-Zero game. You'd bet your sweet ass that Mario or Zelda fans would want a genuine level if they haven't seen a real entry in either of those series for an entire decade.
They should just do this with Melee and F-Zero. All we need is 1080p native, 60FPS, 4xAA/AF, 5.1 digital and online. I would never complain about a new smash or the lack of F-zero after that.
